MARX 2-4-2 Smoker Loco ~ PENN CENTRAL ~ Double-Reduction Rd# 1666 - O-27

Description: The term “double reduction” means that there are two steps in the gearing. The motor runs at a higher rate for any given speed. That means these locos typically move a little slower, run a little smoother and can pull more cars than a single reduction motor. A second effect is that the gear attached to the drive wheels has a smaller diameter. That makes the thickness of the flange a bit less and makes it possible for those locos to travel through some other brands of switches. The following steam locomotives came with double reduction gears. 333 (4-6-2) 666 (2-4-2) 1666 (2-4-2) 1829 (4-6-4) The following locomotives came with single or double reduction gears. You have to look at them to see. 400 (0-4-0) 490 (0-4-0) 591 (0-4-0) Look for sheet metal boiler with handrails, drive rods etc. The 635 (0-4-0) Mercury sparking – these may have different size gears from other double reduction motors. 897 (0-4-0) Army version 994 (0-4-0) the numbers below the cab window and shade over the headlight. These are rare and came with light weight plastic cars in the sets. All 994 black electrics were double reduction. With the 995 (0-4-0) red ones are double reduction. With the 999 (2-4-2) look for the Marx logo on the cab and not on the boiler these are hard to find. The 999 (2-4-2) plain pilot 999 (2-4-2) There are some Mexican production 999's with a double reduction motor that have a blank circle rather than a Marx logo on the side of the cab, but there is still no logo on the boiler on those.
