Kato N Scale D&RGW ALCO PA-1 #6003 DCC & Sound Locomotive - KAT1764123S

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

Bring the sights and sounds of classic Rio Grande passenger service to your railroad with the Kato N Scale D&RGW ALCO PA-1 #6003 DCC & Sound Locomotive (KAT1764123S). Equipped with Digital Command Control and onboard sound, this premium version combines the unmistakable streamlined profile of the ALCO PA-1 with Denver & Rio Grande Western passenger styling and Kato's renowned operating performance.

ALCO developed the PA-1 as a purpose-built passenger locomotive during the early diesel era. Powered by a 2,000-horsepower prime mover and riding on an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement, the prototype was engineered for the higher speeds required by premier passenger service. Kato recreates the Rio Grande version with its distinctive bright yellow paint scheme and illuminated numberboards.

DCC & Sound for Premium Passenger Operations

This DCC & Sound version is an excellent choice for digital model railroaders who want greater operational control and locomotive audio while recreating classic passenger service. Kato's PA-1 platform features a five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels for smooth running, along with body-mounted magnetic knuckle couplers and illuminated numberboards.
