Bachmann Industries Trains 2-8-4 Berkshire Dcc Sound Value Equipped C&O Kanawha #2705 Ho Scale Steam Locomotive

Bachmann trains 2-8-4 Berkshire DCC sound value equipped locomotive - C&O KANAWHA #2705 - HO scale. The 2-8-4 design was born from the need to improve the performance of the 2-8-2 Mikado locomotive. William Woodward of the lima locomotive works improved the performance of the Mikado by adding a larger firebox to achieve more power with the result of a locomotive with a bigger, 100 square-foot firebox that necessitated the need for an extra trailing axle giving the locomotive a 2-8-4 wheel arrangement. 2-8-4 locomotives were run on many American railroads.
