USRA 0-6-0 Switcher - PRR #5281 Steam Locomotive
With production beginning in 1918, the USRA 0-6-0 was one of a selection of locomotives designed by the United States Railroad Administration during the brief period in World War 1 when the US rail network was nationalized under government ownership.

Features include:
- Precision motor.
- Die-cast frame.
- Detailed, painted bodies with precision graphics.
- Separately applied metal and plastic handrails, and plastic detail parts.
- Blackened metal wheels.

- Magnetically operated E-Z MateĀ® Mark II couplers on the front and rear.
- Performs best on 11.25ā curves or better.
