ORIGNAL DESCRIPTION FROM LIONEL'S WEBSITE
During World War I, the United States Railroad Administration based its 2-8-8-2 Mallet type on a Norfolk & Western design. After receiving their allotment of 50 USRA 2-8-8-2 locomotives in 1919, the N & W refined them further into their Y-3 class. They served on Appalachian rails through the 1950s. In 1943 the Pennsylvania Railroad acquired six N & W Y-3's to help move freight on congested wartime mainlines. The second-hand locomotives even received the distinctive Pennsy keystone numberplate. Both versions include an all-new, prototypical 18,000 gallon fishbelly tender with a lighted brakeman's doghouse. Each scale-sized model also includes upgrades from previous 2-8-8-2 releases, including synchronized fan-driven smoke and the all-new RailSounds 5.0 sound system. They also feature more separately applied details including whistle and bell cords, opening roof hatches, opening tender water hatches that reveal RailSounds controls, and even a separate coal load.
