Broadway Limited Imports is proud to present the NYC S1b Niagara steam locomotives into the new BlueLine Family.  These DC-Sound equipped locomotives are extremely smooth and powerful runners with sound that packs an incredible punch!  Each BlueLine locomotive comes factory-fitted with our own proprietary sound system for DC  -- All at a price that you'd expect to pay for units without sound.  And for all the DCC users out there, BlueLine doesn't disappoint.  We've included a NMRA Standard DCC Socket so you can quickly and easily install your favorite DCC motor decoder.

History:  The NYC was late in adopting the 4-8-4 wheel arrangement for their steam locomotive roster since the Mohawks and Hudsons did such an excellent job.  Locomotive #6000 (class S1a) was the first 2-cylinder 4-8-4 from ALCO and was followed by 25 mroe of the S1b class.  When the "Northerns" started arriving in 1945, they became the favorite power, being used almost everywhere at once.  They were dual-service locomotives, but are mostly remembered for heading up the NYC "Limiteds".
