MTH Announces SP Cab Forward AC-6 - with Either Early or Late Cab

 

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