NEW N Scale Train Release! – KATO USA GG1 Electric Locomotives – Available Now!

The GG1, one of the PRR’s most famous and recognizable locomotives, is also one of the most curiously designed. Technically two locomotives under one shell (a “G” class locomotive is a 4-6-0 by PRR specification, therefore the GG1 was two “G” locomotives in a 4-6-0:0-6-4 arrangement). This added up to a 4.6k horsepower locomotive that was staggeringly powerful, even by today’s standards. Designed in the 20’s, built in 30’s, and not retired until the 80’s, the GG1 had an incredible lifespan and survives today as a testament to its time in both its unique Loewy-design and overwhelming performance. Thanks to the long life and usefulness of the GG1, many outlived the PRR, finding themselves in Penn Central – and later in their life, Amtrak – paint. These locomotives were used in everything from freight service to pulling Amtrak Passenger trains.

Available in 6 versions:
137-2015 - GG1 Conrail Bicentennial #4800
137-2015DCC - GG1 Conrail Bicentennial #4800 w/ DCC

NEW N Scale Train Release! – Atlas Master® N GP39-2 Phase 1 Locomotives – Available Now!

The GP39-2 was offered by EMD as a fuel-efficient alternative to their very popular GP38-2 model. This efficiency resulted from the use of a turbo-charged 12-cylinder 645E3 diesel engine. The use of a turbocharger increased the horsepower output from 2,000 to 2,300hp with four fewer cylinders. One other benefit of the turbocharger was improved operation at higher altitudes where thin air causes normally aspirated diesels to lose power and produce excess smoke. The largest original fleet of GP39-2s was assembled by Santa Fe who, over the course of seven years, acquired a total of 106 units.

Features: Golden white LEDs; Painted safety rails; Directional lighting; Blackened metal wheels; Scale Speed motor; Ditch lights as appropriate by road name (all except D&H will have ditch lights); and Factory-installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers.

Silver Series features: Sound ready & equipped with speaker for easy conversion to DCC sound. E24 DCC Plug Equipped.

Gold Series features: Supports all DCC programming modes. Over 20 sound effects are available, including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor, dynamic brakes and more.
