Relive the glory days of railroading with this line of detailed locos. Models are offered in DCC versions with LokSound for use with DCC systems or DC layouts (requires separate controller to activate sounds) or without sound for DC only.
 
All engines feature a powerful five-pole can motor with flywheel/s, plus exceptional weight for pulling power; an optional traction tire-equipped driver is also included. Models are detailed, painted and lettered to match specific prototypes, and feature working headlight and back-up light, where applicable. Operating Kadee couplers are standard. Engines equipped with LokSound combine silent running decoders with a super high output amplifier, and adjustable volume for synchronized chuff, whistle, bell, squealing brakes, flange squeal, Doppler effect and air let off (in neutral). The system also features load dependent sound, 8Mbit of memory to handle complex sounds, and four-channel sound. New 20-function mapping lets you create custom sound and function operations, and units are compatible with LokSound Programmer for PC control, upgrades or adding custom sounds. Load compensation, switcher mode and Dynamic Drive Control features are also included.
 

PRR's I1s decapod design was so successful that by 1924, this 2-10-0 was considered the standard heavy freight hauler of the railroad up until WWII. In 1930, the original I1s underwent a revision of the cylinder steam vents to admit steam for 78% of the stroke. This boosted tractive effort from 90,000 to 96,000 lbs and made the new class I1sa. Through the years, many I1s engines were changed over to the modified I1sa design. By July 1947, the 598-unit fleet was divided into 109 I1s and 489 I1sa locomotives. They remained in service until the end of PRR steam in 1957.

Decapods outperformed Mikado L1's by a whopping 41% more horsepower while consuming 12% less steam.

Nicknames for the type included Decs and Hippos, the latter possibly from the fat boiler.
PCM intends to build the most accurate HO I1sa's ever produced with the help of the PRR historical society review team. Our gratitude to a wonderful group of railroad enthusiasts.

DID YOU KNOW? The I1sa short tender (90F82) has coal board sides that are bent inward a few degrees. Even the most expensive of brass models have missed this detail. PCM's I1sa will properly model this detail-an industry first. Thank you, PRRT&HS Modeling Committee, especially Bob Johnson, for your keen eyes!
