Showroom
Our Skipton showroom is open weekdays 9am until 5pm and by appointment on weekends.
The Norfolk & Western's 14 J Class steam engines entered service from 1941 and were the most powerful 4-8-4 locomotives ever built. Designed to haul prestigious passenger trains, notably between Norfolk (Virginia) and Cincinnati (Ohio), they led distinguished but short lives; all but one had been retired by 1959. No 611 was one of the last main-line steam locomotives to be built in US and sported the streamline casing applied to the final batch of these impressive beasts.
Sunset Models' rendition of no. 611 features all-metal construction, impressive haulage capability and a striking recreation of the streamlined elegance possessed by J Class locomotives.
