OcCre Rogers 119 – classic American locomotive with a Golden Spike connection
OcCre Rogers 119 is a wooden-metal kit in 1:32 / G-45 scale that recreates No. 119, an American 4-4-0 locomotive type built by Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works in Paterson, New Jersey in 1868. The model has a clear place in American railway history and complements Jupiter as part of the same iconic story.
For retailers, Rogers 119 is a model with strong drama and a natural connection to Promontory. When Thomas C. Durant was travelling to the ceremony and a locomotive was needed after trouble at Devil’s Gate Bridge, No. 119 was sent from Ogden to Promontory where it joined Central Pacific’s Jupiter. This story makes the model easy to present as more than a locomotive – it is part of the moment when the railroad linked the coasts of the United States.
With 966 parts and around 250 hours of build time, Rogers 119 is a well-developed medium-level project. Together with Jupiter it creates a strong pair in the range, especially for customers who want to build a historically connected railway setting with high collector appeal.
