The United States was only a few years behind, first importing from Great Britain, and then manufacturing its own locomotives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteam locomotives evolved during the corse of the 19th Century, transforming into powerful means of transportation that would not be usurped until the widespread use of electric and diesel power in the mid 1900's. Today most steam locomotives still in use are for historical and educational purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Steam Locomotive 4-4-0 model kit replicates the locomotive that has a wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles, four powered and coupled driving wheels on two axles, and no trailing wheels.
