NS 1230 "Birmingham" is part of Norfolk Southern's celebrated Landmark Series — a group of units specially painted to honor the communities NS serves. This scheme has never before been offered in HO scale. Broadway Limited is producing it for the very first time. The Stealth Series version gives you the same die-cast construction and road-specific detailing as the Paragon4 — DCC-Ready on DC right out of the box, with an 8-ohm speaker pre-installed for when you’re ready to add sound and unlock the full feature set.
