The other side noted: INTERNATIONAL HOBBY CORPORATION, 413 E. Allegheny Ave, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19134, Pennsylvania, USA Used for slow heavy freight service, the 2-8-0 was first used on the Leigh Valley in the late 1800's. The 2-8-0 class of locomotive was developed around that period, when many smaller railroads were consolidating, to form large class 1 railroads, hence the name Consolidation. On most railroads the Consolidation was the most popular locomotive. For over five decades the Consolidation was to dominate in freight service and only after the introduction of the Mikado in 1911, the Consolidations were regulated to yard switching service. The IHC Consolidation represents a U.S.R.A. Consolidation of both yard and freight service. With its flywheel equipped can motor and evenly distributed weight, the IHC Consolidation has the capability to handle any yard or freight service, that any large or small pike might require.
