For sheer eye appeal, nothing could compare to the Alco PA. But these Alco engines were short-lived on the PRR. Unfortunately, performance didn’t measure up to beauty and the Alcos never equalled the reliability of the Electro-Motive (EMD) locomotives.

First introduced on the Rio Grande in 1947, the Alcos were replaced with F3s by the mid-50s.

These detailed models feature the standard sound and operating system, Lionel RailSounds and TrainMaster Command Control.

They also include smoke and electrocouplers at front of each A Unit.
