The locomotive number is 53L (Item #176-053L-LS). This locomotive is ready to run!ALCO's beautiful PA-1 is one of America's most famous locomotives. It was ALCO's entry into the passenger train diesel craze, competing directly with the E-Units from EMD. They were built in Schenectady, New York, in the United States by a partnership of the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and General Electric (GE) between June, 1946 and December, 1953. They were of a cab unit design, and both cab-equipped lead A unit (PA) and cabless booster B unit (PB) models were built. The gold painted "Goldbonnet" PA-1 was part of a promotional train painted up for General Electric in February of 1960. The train included the striking PA-1 along with a baggage car and three lounge cars that were also painted gold for GEs "Golden Values" promotion campaign in Southern California. The train ran between Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Bernardino, Fullerton and San Diego and after the promotion was over the four cars were returned to their normal paint schemes. Model Features: KATO's famous five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels and equipped with frictionless trucks with blackened metal wheels powers this locomotive. This unit is equipped with fully-automatic magnetic knuckle couplers, with optional long shank couplers included.With nothing more than your Digital Command Station you have the option of 16 separate horns,2 bells, and 2 brakesqueals.
