The worlds first and only
locomotive with a 6-8-6 wheel configuration was introduced in 1944. The PRR
S2 direct-drive steam turbine powered locomotive was a unique experiment in
motive power. Its six-wheel leading truck, eight drive wheels and six-wheel
trailing truck made for a massive running platform that was quite efficient
when the S2 was at speed. Originally, the S2 was to be a 4-8-4, but wartime
restrictions on the usage of lighter steel alloys forced the use of heavier
alloys - eventually driving the weight of the entire locomotive to need
larger leading and trailing trucks.
The S2 is outfitted with two
steam turbines. One for each direction of travel. The large boiler sports a
Belpaire firebox and the turbines exhaust was channeled through four pipes
in the smoke box. A Worthington-style feedwater heater honed the S2s
efficiency further.
This iconic Pennsylvania steam locomotive is a
must-have for every serious PRR steam collector. We are offering the S2 in
four different ways - As Delivered (with no smoke deflectors), with Small
Smoke Deflectors and with Large Smoke Deflectors. And for those who enjoy
the varnished brass colored unit which truly makes each and every detail
pop, that is also available in limited supply. The S2s completely unique
look and mechanism makes any layout shine! Preorder today.
