HO - Steam Loco Kits
PRR A5 Shifter

A total of 47 engines were built by Juniata Shops, starting in the year 1916. The first engine built was number 511, shop number 3166, in December of 1916. The first A 5s had Belpaire fireboxes, piston valve cylinders, Walschaert valve gear, and superheaters. The last six (numbers 3890-3895) were designed with a cylinder slant and a power reverse. Years later all A 5s would receive power reverses, and many trains contained a fire hose.  Our HO A-5 was made from new molds, we did not get the Hobbyline molds.  Now includes new can motor and gear box
