Since 0-4-0 types were not large enough and 0-8-0 types were often to big to be economical or even usable on lightly built railways such as dockyards and goods yards, the 0-6-0 was widely used as switching locomotives. 0-6-0 locomotives were among the first types to be used. The earliest recorded example was the 'Royal George' built by Timothy Hackworth for the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlackened, machined-metal wheels with RP25 contours\u003cbr\u003ePowerful motor\u003cbr\u003e2 traction tires on locomotive\u003cbr\u003eMetal boiler grab rail\u003cbr\u003eDie cast metal chassis\u003cbr\u003eSlope tender with exquisite rivet and coal detail\u003cbr\u003eFrame mounted couplers\u003cbr\u003eAccurately molded plastic body shells\u003cbr\u003ePrototypically painted","brand":"Bachmann Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42745013305407,"sku":"BAC-50561","price":101.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/7461\/7663\/files\/BAC-50561-2__17307.png?v=1765170483","url":"https:\/\/factorydirecthobbies.com\/products\/bachmann-n-50561-usra-0-6-0-switcher-with-slope-back-tender-union-pacific-4425","provider":"Factory Direct Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
