PENNSYLVANIA E-6 CLASS 4-4-2

The E-6 class were the last 4-4-2 “Atlantic” type locomotives built by the Pennsylvania Railroad. A total of 83 were constructed between 1910 and 1914. These modern design Atlantics featured a large and free-steaming boiler, outside Walschaert valve gear, piston valves on the cylinders, and a cast steel KW pattern trailing truck designed by the PRR’s Chief Mechanical Engineer, William F, Keisel Jr. Although replaced by larger K-4 class Pacifics on most top-rated trains, the E-6s remained popular on lesser services, especially commuter operations around the New Jersey seashore routes. Nine were transferred to the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines; some were also leased to PRR subsidiary Long Island Rail Road.

Accucraft Trains is excited to announce upcoming production of the E-6 in 1:32 scale live steam and electric. Our models will faithfully reproduce the impressive characteristics found on these big 80” derived Atlantics. The model was developed with the assistance of David Fletcher and Jason Kovac. Production is limited.
