This is an MTH 30-2496-1 New Haven Alco PA AA Diesel Locomotive Set with Protosound 2.0 from 2005. Included in this set are Cab No's. 0775 & 0776. The PA was Alco's glamour girl. While Electro-Motive's E-units easily beat Alco's passenger engine in terms of popularity, the PA is widely regarded as the most beautiful first-generation diesel - period. Perhaps no other locomotive looked so right at the head of the streamlined trains of the late forties and fifties that were the last hurrah of American long-distance passenger service. The 294 PA's and cabless PB's built between 1946 and 1953 powered some of the most famous name trains from coast to coast, from the Santa Fe's Super Chief to the New Haven's Merchants' Limited. The muscular PA profile and its elegant nose with the characteristic grille around the headlight were designed by Ray Patten of General Electric. At the time, GE and Alco were partners in the locomotive business, with GE making the electrical equipment for all Alco diesels. While Alco would later fall by the wayside, GE went on to become America's largest locomotive builder by the early 1990's. Under the hood of the PA beat a 16-cylinder model 244 prime mover that developed 2000 hp. Depending on their gearing, PA's could hustle a passenger consist along at up to 100 mph. Recreate the excitement of first-class passenger travel with the RailKing Alco PA locomotive and matching RailKing passenger sets. Our ProtoSound® 2.0 sound and control system brings you the authentic sounds of an Alco prime mover and the ability to start your train so gently you won't spill the water in the diner - and then accelerate up to scale speeds of over 100 mph, just like the prototype. Did You Know? In the classification PA-1, the P stands for passenger, the A for the cab unit, and the 1 for the first model made. Later units were models PA-2 and PA-3. Features include Colorful Paint Scheme, Metal Chassis, Die-Cast Truck Sides, Pilots and Fuel Tank, (2) Remotely Controlled Proto-Couplers®, (2) Precision Flywheel Equipped Motors, Metal Wheels, Axles and Gears, Directionally Controlled Headlights, Intricately Detailed ABS Bodies, Locomotive Speed Control, Proto-Sound 2.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring: Passenger Station Proto-Effects, Unit Measures:28 1/2 inches x 2 1/2 inches x 3 5/8 inches and it operates on O-27 curves.
