Alco PA1 - PB1 Set - Standard DC -- Undecorated, Non-Dynamic Brakes

The Rapido Trains HO Scale Alco PA series diesels are based on what many believe to be one the most attractive diesel locomotives ever produced. The PA locomotives were built by a partnership of American Locomotive and General Electric between 1946 and 1953. They offered two models, the PA-1 initially followed by the PA-2. Both were powered by Alco's 16-cylinder 244 diesel engine generating 2,000 HP in the PA-1 and 2,250 in the PA-2. The PA locomotives were designed to compete with General Motors EMD E-units in the passenger locomotive market.

Carbody contours have been generated using a 3-D laser scan of Doyle McCormack's preserved unit. Other features include roadname-specific details, directional headlights, operating
