Kato N Scale D&RGW ALCO PA-1 #6003 DC Locomotive - KAT1764123

Kato N Scale D&RGW ALCO PA-1 #6003 DC Locomotive

Add distinctive Rio Grande passenger power to your railroad with the Kato N Scale D&RGW ALCO PA-1 #6003 DC Locomotive (KAT1764123). Modeled after the ALCO PA-1 ordered by the Denver & Rio Grande Western for long-distance passenger service, #6003 combines the PA's unmistakable streamlined profile with the striking Rio Grande yellow paint scheme and illuminated numberboards.

The prototype ALCO PA-1 was developed as a purpose-built passenger diesel to compete with EMD's successful E-Unit series. Powered by a 2,000-horsepower prime mover and riding on an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement, the PA-1 became one of the most recognizable streamlined passenger locomotives of the early diesel era.

Smooth Kato DC Performance

Designed for conventional DC operation, Kato's N Scale PA-1 features a powerful five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels for smooth, dependable performance. Body-mounted Kato magnetic knuckle couplers provide a clean appearance at each end, while the illuminated numberboards add another layer of visual detail to this classic Rio Grande passenger locomotive.
