Broadway Limited Imports N 4-8-4 T1 Locomotive
As WWII was drawing to a close in 1945, the Reading Railroad examined their existing roster of motive power and realized they did not own any of the super-power steam locomotives that most other railroads owned and operated. The decision to obtain some of these locomotives was paramount, but with wartime restrictions still in place, the Reading had to look to their existing fleet for conversion. The I10-sa Class 2-10-0 locomotive fit the bill, and Reading started the in-house conversion of 30 of these I10 locomotives to the new class T-1 Northern.

Overview
In 2022, Broadway Limited is building the first production of Reading T-1 4-8-4 steam locomotives in N scale. They are building three in-service Reading models and three "Iron Horse Ramble" models. They are offering 2101 in the Chessie Steam Special livery and also its later Reading and Northern paint scheme. They are also offering one model in the 1976 American Freedom Train paint, and one model decorated like the Delaware and Hudson #302 locomotive. Finally, they are offering two fantasy paint schemes: one with a unique Christmas theme and a second with a United States Independence Day theme. The two fantasy models will have unique soundsets, and the others will have prototypically accurate Reading T1 Northern sounds.
