The Aristo-Craft Switcher 0-4-0 Steam Locomotive is an accurate reproduction of the Steam (switching) Locomotives known as ‘yard goats’ or ‘shifters’ built and used by nearly all North American railroads until replaced by the "newer" diesel locomotives.
Our model is based upon the Pennsylvania Railroad Class A5 0-4-0 originally built by PRR’s Juaniata Shops with ‘slopeback’ tenders and the PRR Class A3 0-4-0T (Tank locomotive without tender) built from 1895 until 1915.
Both types of 0-4-0’s were used in areas of sharp curvature industrial trackage to handle freight railcars and in many passenger-train terminals to switch US Mail, Express, Baggage, and Passenger Railcars
