Central Vermont
2-8-0 "Consolidations"
Classes M-2a, M-3a, N-5a

"Consols" . . . . they were the life blood of the Central Vermont. With their wheel loading, they could run antwhere on the system! Passenger service, freight service, locals or mainline, the CV's 2-8-0s did it all. These locos were well suited to their service(s) and location!

We've been wanting to do Consolidations for a long time now, but the costs worked against us. We've now negotiated a cost which will result in a decent retail price. The Division Point and Boo-Rim will offer this LIMITED EDITION project all numbers of the class. With only 150 pieces to be produced, you are advised to contact your dealer to reserve yours!

Class O-20 4-8-4
