About the model
Steam locomotive 2253 of the United States Army Transportation
Corps.
Edition model!
■ Attractive colour scheme
■ Delicate plug-in parts
■ Authentic design without a headlight
■ Wheel sets with low-profile flanges
■ A special piece of history for the home model railroad
■ One-off edition in a special operating condition
The S 160 "The Yank" or "Rattlesnake" were originally war locomotives of the United States Army Transportation Corps (USATC). These locomotives had to be deployable worldwide, so they conformed to the British loading gauge, which is one of the most restrictive on standard-gauge railways. A total of 2,120 units were manufactured, making this class one of the most widely built locomotive classes in the world. The name ‘Rattlesnake’ derives from the characteristic rattling sound of the controls.
