Porter Steam Loco
The American locomotive manufacturer H. K. Porter specialized in small steam locomotives. The LGB model is a detailed replica of a typical four-wheel Porter steam locomotive, ready for hard work on your LGB layout: Couple it to a string of disconnect log trucks on an American logging line, to field railway cars on a Philippine sugar tramway, to ore cars or hoppers for use in a mine, a quarry or on the construction site of the Panama Canal. Or pull a string of open passenger cars to model a railway in Zanzibar, a tropical island off the African coast.

Porter locomotives ran on the sugar tramways of Hawaii and the Philippines, as well as on American logging railroads.
