The Bull of the Woods is Back... And Better than Ever!

For more than 50 years Heisler gear-driven locos handled the toughest hauling jobs in America. Moving timber, iron, coal, ore and doing industrial switching, they were legendary for their ability to move heavy loads on the roughest track.

Now the legend is reborn in these Rivarossi models from Hornby! Each begins with an all-new body that completely eliminates molded-on detail.

All of the piping, sand lines, air lines, and more are now separate details. Blackened wire grab irons and handrails add to the realistic effect. There's also a solid-brass whistle, pop valves, bell, front number plate and photo-etched builders plates. And check out the other new features like flush-fitting cab windows, optional headlight styles and working knuckle couplers. Inside that beautiful body lurks a tough, new drive that works like a real Heisler!

A can motor and new gearbox are connected to a super replica of the V-2 ''motor engine,'' so the crankshaft, rods and valve gear move like the originals. Driveshafts transmit power to solid-metal worm gears on one axle, and side rods power all of the wheels just as the prototype did. Best of all, the models are DCC-ready so you can plug in your favorite decoder and start running. A larger weight and an optional traction-tire-equipped driver set are included to improve pulling power.

Plus, the trucks have been carefully engineered to provide all-wheel electrical pickup and still take incredibly sharp curves with ease. Perfect for any industry from logging to coal mining to industrial switching these new models are offered in both 2- and 3-Truck versions.

Each is fully assembled and factory painted, ready for the roughest chores on your layout. Shipped in a handsome display box, your new engine comes with a numbered certificate of ownership, along with a special history booklet and complete operating instructions.
