The American Locomotive Company built the first 4-8-4 in 1927 for Northern Pacific Railroad. It was the ultimate wheel configuration for the modern steam locomotive. The pony truck gave the best stability for riding and tracking, and the trailing truck supported a larger firebox that allowed extra boiler capacity and maximum steam levels.

Our spectacular 1 1/2" scale 4-8-4 Northern is tremendous. With its classic lines, huge boiler and spectacular riveted tender, this locomotive will astound you.

Without a doubt, this is Mason's Trains largest, most impressive, and undeniably awesome live steam locomotive of all time!
