Stamped "DAEKI Korea" between the rear drivers.Beautifully detailed cab interior, two single phase air pumps, standard pilot, and coal pusher in tender.The Chicago and North Western Railway class Z (and Omaha Road class Z) was a class of 251 2-8-0 consolidation locomotives. They were built between 1909 and 1913, when production switched to the larger class J 2-8-2 locomotives. The class letter spawned their nickname "Zulu" by Chicago and North Western and Omaha Road crews. Apart from a batch of 25 built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, all the locomotives were built by the American Locomotive Company at their Schenectady plant. They were used system-wide on freight trains, and were the principle freight-hauling locomotive on the railway. They were able to run 75-car trains. With the arrival of the class J engines taking over mainline freights, the Class Z's were used in switching, transfer and helper service.
