Thank you for purchasing this Weaver Baldwin 2-8-0 Consolidation steam 

locomotive.  A variety of railroads carried the 2-8-0 Consolidation design.  This engine 
was used for a variety of tasks, which included short and long freight runs and in some 
cases even passenger runs.  The 2-8-0's were used until the end of the steam era.  
Our 1/4" scale die cast reproduction is highly detailed and designed for years of 
operation on your O Scale pike.  Weaver steam locomotives are completely 
compatible with most other O Scale engines, rolling stock, and accessories.  Refer to 
this manual for information about your 2-Rail and 3-Rail Weaver Baldwin 2-8-0 
Consolidation.

Traction Tires

Two of the drive wheels of this locomotive are equipped with traction tires.  

These traction tires provide for maximum pulling capability of your locomotive.  An 
extra set of traction tires is included with your engine (3-Rail models only).
