The AC-6 Cab Forward returns to
the rails offered for the first time in HO with
Proto-Sound 3.0 in die-cast metal construction and
outfitted with additional details, including
legible builder's plates, painted backhead gauges,
cab interior light, tender truck safety chains, and
additional boiler details.* While many railfans are
familiar with the AC-12 Cab Forward preserved at
the California State Railroad Museum - the last new
steam engine delivered to the Southern Pacific in
1944 - our model depicts the earlier AC-6 with its
distinctive flat cab front and rounded Vanderbilt
tender. Delivered in 1930-31, the AC-6 class set
the pattern for all future Cab Forwards, with
higher boiler pressure, more tractive effort, and
the air compressors moved to the boiler front for
better weight distribution. Several AC-6s were
later modernized with a tapered cab front, and that
version is also offered here for the first
time. Description Discount
