These HO scale brass locomotives are finely crafted, hand-assembled models designed for collectors who appreciate the artistry of brass. While not based on specific prototypes, each locomotive is decorated in imaginative paint schemes that draw inspiration from the authentic liveries once used by the same railroads. Utilizing our Santa Fe Blue Goose tooling, these models deliver a unique blend of realism and creativity—combining the high-end detailing of brass construction with striking fantasy finishes that stand out on any display shelf or layout.

The Valley Flyer was a short-lived but unforgettable passenger train operated by the Santa Fe Railroad between Bakersfield and Oakland, California. From 1939 to 1942, it carried travelers to the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. While the original was only semi-streamlined, our model brings that distinctive livery to a fully streamlined Hudson, blending historical charm with added elegance—a tribute to one of the most unique trains in AT&SF’s history.

All models are available in two configurations: Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC with Smoke or our Stealth Series—No-Sound, DCC-Ready models with factory-installed speakers. The Stealth Series allows customers to easily install their own 21-pin DCC decoder for a simple “plug-and-play” upgrade.

Broadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for premium HO sound-equipped locomotives. These DC and DCC-Sound equipped locomotives feature the ALL-NEW Paragon4 sound and control system. Each Paragon4 locomotive comes with BLI's own integral DCC Decoder factory installed. Paragon4 locomotives offer Dual Mode DC and DCC operation with superb back EMF motor control, improved DC motor control, built-in capacitor pack for more reliable electrical pick-up, industry-best on-board sound with Rolling Thunder functionality, Pro Lighting Mode for prototypical light control, Switcher Mode for precise low speed control, recordable DCC operation for automated playback, and the same excellent detail level as Broadway Limited's Paragon3 Series models.
