This Broadway Limited model represents the Milwaukee Road Class S-3 4-8-4 “Northern” type steam locomotive, road number 268, in HO scale (1:87).
The prototype was built in 1944 by the American Locomotive Company for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad (Milwaukee Road). These powerful locomotives served in both passenger and heavy freight service across the Midwestern and Northwestern United States.

The model includes both the locomotive and its matching tender, fitted with Paragon Rolling Thunder — an advanced system providing synchronized smoke, dynamic sound, and smooth DCC/DC operation. With die-cast construction, factory-installed crew figures, and authentic Milwaukee Road detailing, it delivers both power and realism on the track.
