Designed by William F. Kiesel Jr. and turned out by Juniata Shops between 1923 and 1929 (90 for the PRR, 31 for the Long Island Rail Road), the G5 combined a modified E6s Atlantic boiler with a 4-6-0 chassis, small drivers and no trailing truck, putting roughly 41,000 lb of tractive effort on the rail for quick acceleration between frequent stops. The G5s worked Northeast and Long Island commuter trains well into the 1950s, and two survive today. This is Broadway Limited's first-ever G5, with two tender variations accurate for pre-war and post-war details and prototypically accurate details for each road number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version depicts LIRR #24 in its post-1940 appearance with the larger 70P82a tender, the configuration most G5s carried through the war years and into the 1950s. The Long Island Rail Road's 31 G5s were the backbone of its steam-era commuter fleet, and No. 39 survives today at Riverhead — this model wears LIRR lettering as the class did after 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stealth Series version is a No-Sound \/ DCC-Ready model with the same drive, lighting and detail — a factory-installed speaker and 21-pin decoder interface make it plug-and-play for the aftermarket decoder of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy diecast boiler, tender body and chassis · Precision drive with 5-pole skew-wound can motor and rubber traction tires · Two tender variations (70P70a pre-war, 70P82a post-war) · Separately applied handrails, ladders, piping, cab glass, whistle, brass bell, markers and air tanks · Prototypical light operation with separately controllable headlight, reverse light, cab light and front and rear markers · Factory-installed engineer and fireman · Optional operating front coupler in the box · Minimum radius 18\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📦 Preorder details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExpected arrival: Summer 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-prr-g5-preorder\"\u003eBLI HO PRR G5 4-6-0 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.
