Other roads that tried three cylinders later simplified their designs; the cash-strapped New Haven never did, so the R3a stayed a rare, uncompromising expression of steam-era ambition until the end of New Haven steam. Broadway Limited's all-new Brass-Hybrid R3a pairs a hand-crafted brass boiler and tender with a heavy diecast chassis, capturing the distinctive front-end appliances and proportions that set the class apart from every other Mountain, with era-appropriate, road-specific detailing for each road number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version depicts New Haven No. 3560 as the class appeared from delivery in 1928 through 1939, in its original as-built configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Paragon4 version carries BLI's Paragon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control system: synchronized puffing smoke with chuff sound, variable smoke intensity and timing, an integral dual-mode DCC decoder with Back EMF for the best slow-speed running in DC and DCC, and accurate New Haven R3a sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass-Hybrid construction — hand-crafted brass boiler, cab and tender on a heavy diecast chassis for serious pulling power · Precision drive with 5-pole skew-wound can motor and rubber traction tires · Premium paint with authentic prototype schemes · Extensive separately applied detail parts, era-appropriate for each road number · Separately controllable headlight, cab light and rear emergency light · Factory-installed engineer and fireman · Recommended minimum radius 18\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📦 Preorder details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpected arrival: Fall 2027 (see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/broadway-limited.com\/pages\/delivery-schedule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eBLI Official Delivery Schedule\u003c\/a\u003e for the latest dates).\u003cbr\u003e25% deposit required at checkout, balance charged when the product arrives.\u003cbr\u003ePreorder cancellation: 7 days from order date; deposit non-refundable after that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/broadway-limited-imports\"\u003eBroadway Limited Imports\u003c\/a\u003e, see the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bli-ho-new-haven-r3a-preorder\"\u003eBLI HO New Haven R3a run\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ho-scale\"\u003eHO scale collection\u003c\/a\u003e, or see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/preorders\"\u003eall preorders\u003c\/a\u003e.
