Broadway Limited Imports' first production run of Challengers features the following notable characteristics:
Accurate front end modeling, including an appropriate aftercooler system for each class.
Accurate modeling of the 25-C-100 and 25-C-400 tenders, tailored to match each class.
An accurately modeled oil tender specific to No. 3985, representing its excursion service.
One model featuring Rio Grande lettering and paint.
One model featuring Clinchfield lettering and paint.
Two unlettered and black painted models—one with wind wings, and one without.
Each model is equipped with Broadway Limited Imports' Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC sound system, complete with smoke and integral GoPack capacitors.
Additionally, apart from the Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC sound models, Broadway Limited Imports offers these locomotives as part of their Stealth series. These models, known as No-Sound / DCC-Ready, operate on DC straight out of the box. Alternatively, modelers can easily install their preferred DCC decoder. The front and rear lights are directional by default, and other lights are always illuminated with track power. However, certain lighting features may be dependent on the aftermarket decoder chosen by the modeler.
