HO Scale Locomotives
Welcome to the summit of railroad history! Invention of the locomotive changed the world as few other inventions did. Until the steam engine rolled down its metal rails at the astounding speed of over 10 miles an hour, people had conquered the land by foot and animal power. With the exception of occasional ocean or river voyages, most people lived and died within five miles of where they had been born.HO scale locomotives make this extraordinary history come alive. From "The General" to Accela engines, HOs provide the fittings and details that reflect the ambition, ingenuity, and creativity that went into conquering the vast expanses of India, Asia and the American West. Model locomotives reflect all the innovations that made engineers captains of the land. (Some add real train sounds and smoke to further enhance the voyage into railroading history.)
Like all famous leaders, locomotives come with distinctive and exciting stories. Get acquainted with these handsome technological wonders that changed the world.
