Delivered in the spring of 1941, the DM&IR’s first eight Yellowstones (Class M-3) were among the largest steamers ever built, in the same league as Union Pacific’s Big Boys. By at least one measure — tractive effort — the Missabe Road engines were more powerful. They pleased their owners so well that, with the permission of the War Production Board, an additional ten Yellowstones (Class M-4) were ordered for delivery in 1943. Because the new engines were delivered during a seasonal downturn in ore traffic, part of the new order was temporarily leased to the Denver & Rio Grande Western. The following year, the D&RGW asked to borrow them again, stating in a telegram that they were among the finest engines the road had ever run. Hauling trains of over 100 loaded ore cars, the DM&IR’s 2-8-8-4s soldiered on into the 1960s, with the last officially retired in 1963.

Outfitted with Proto-Sound 3.0, wireless tether and quillable whistle, the massive DM&IR Yellowstone debuts in the HO lineup in 2015, ready to haul the most challenging loads on your layout.
