These locomotives were constructed between 1916 and 1920 where 238 B6sb's were built. These locomotives were retrofitted with power reversers to make the frequent switching moves quicker and easier for crews that operated them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese switchers could be found in major freight yards, passenger yards, and could occasionally be found on branch line duty. With over 36,000 lbs of Tractive Effort these 0-6-0's did their job effectively. Through World War 1 and World War 2, they could be seen pretty much everywhere on the PRR. They were eventually pulled during the late 1940's and early 1950's in favor of diesel switchers that were becoming more common place on the railroads. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday 1 B6sb survived and can be seen in the Railroad Museum Of Pennsylvania located in Strasburg, Pa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our first production run, we are offering 3 different variations of the PRR B6sb, 1 unlettered version with DGLE paint, and 2 exclusives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of our Paragon4 Series models comes with our Paragon4 Sound\/DC\/DCC sound system with synchronized puffing smoke and integral GoPack capacitors.  See below for a full list of model features.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the Paragon4 Series models, each model is available in our Stealth Series.  These are No-Sound \/ DCC-Ready models that operate on DC out-of-the-box, or a modeler can easily install their DCC decoder of choice.  Out-of-the-box, front and rear lights are directional, and other lights are always illuminated with track power.  Note that some lighting may be absent depending on selected aftermarket decoder.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry-leading Model Features:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALL-NEW Paragon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynchronized Puffing Smoke with Chuff Sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable Puffing Smoke Intensity and timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-Pole Can Motor with Skew Wound Armature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy Die Cast Boiler, Tender Body, and Chassis for Increased Tractive Effort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Light Operation with Separately Controllable Headlight, Reverse Light, Cab Light, and Front Marker Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-installed Engineer and Fireman Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Grab Irons, Ladders, Piping, Cab Glass, Whistle, Brass Bell, Markers, and Many Others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with Rubber Traction Tires for Increased Pulling Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Minimum Radius: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Sounds of PRR B6sb, with several alternative whistles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives.
