Bring a true Southern Pacific Pacific to your layout.
NEW: 1/1/2026 options have been added to the locomotive shell selection to allow you to choose between whether the boiler shell will fit a BLI USRA pacific mechanism, or the Bachmann K4 instead.
This N-scale SP P-8 / P-10 locomotive shell is a high-resolution resin replica based on post-war Southern Pacific P-class locomotives, designed to drop onto the Broadway Limited Imports (BLI) USRA 4-6-2 Pacific mechanism with minimal effort. These shells are intended for builders who want a prototype-correct Southern Pacific appearance without compromising detail, proportion, or fit.
Available in multiple historically inspired configurations, including skyline-cased boiler variants and optional tenders.
————————————————————————————————————————
Available Configurations
Locomotive Shell Options
Choose from the following variants:
• P-8 / P-10 with standard domes
• P-10 with skyline casing
o Choice of:
Simple steps, or
Semi-streamlined smokebox stair arrangement
While modeled from postwar P-8 / P-10 practice, the standard dome version can also reasonably stand in for P-7, P-8, P-9, or early P-10 classes with appropriate paint and detailing.
————————————————————————————————————————
Tender Options (All Oil Bunker)
Choose one:
• No tender (locomotive shell only)
• 120-C-3 tender
• 120-C-5 tender
Tenders are also available separately.

————————————————————————————————————————
Tender Truck Recommendations
Best matches:

FLW tender trucks are in development and will be offered when production-ready.

Material & Finish
• Precision 3D-printed resin
• Fully cleaned and cured

o Minor support remnants may remain
o Light sanding may be beneficial before paint
Like all resin kits, small surface imperfections are normal and part of the modeling process.

Skill Level
Intermediate
If you've shells, detailed locos, or built resin kits before, you'll feel right at home.
————————————————————————————————————————
Finish & Detailing Expectations
These models are engineered for:
• Accurate Southern Pacific proportions
• Crisp rivet rows
• Scale-correct casing profiles
• Historically plausible appliance spacing
Some artistic license is used where strict scale dimensions conflict with durability, assembly, or surface detail clarity at N scale.
