Description
The D10-class Ten Wheeler was the most numerous class of steam locomotive not only for the CPR but in Canada. Five hundred and two of these useful 4-6-0s were built between 1905 and 1913, and many lasted until the end of CP steam service in 1961. D10s were employed in freight and passenger work across Canada and into the United States on CP's many lines. There is truly no more useful locomotive for any steam era CPR layout than the D10.
The D10s drive will incorporate our smooth-running gear drive with flywheel - as derived from our Royal Hudson locomotive - allowing sure and silent operation. All models will be DCC ready, and sound equipped models will be fitted with custom sound decoders that feature synchronized effects for the ultimate in realism. Lighting effects will include headlights, marker lights, number boards and flickering firebox.
