Boston & Maine Flying Yankee Diesel Passenger Set w/Proto-Sound 2.0

The post-World War II era was an exciting transition period for our nation's railroads. Practical, war-time productions gave way to more daring and glamorous streamlined diesels pulling newly equipped passenger trains. Introduced in 1946, the American Locomotive Company's PA-1 made an instant impact on our railroads and railfans. Many railfans agree that the Alco PA is the most beautiful diesel locomotive ever produced. Its long, streamlined look certainly made it one of the best canvases for beautiful paint schemes - an opportunity that few railroads let pass. Measuring more than 65 feet long, the PA-1 featured 2000 hp and 100 mph gearing, creating an awesome combination of sleekness, speed, and power. Well suited for both passenger and fast freight service, the Alco PA-1 was a fixture on many of our most famous railroads for years after its introduction. The RailKing Alco PA AA Diesel Set brings its sleek styling to your traditional-sized O-31 railroad in the markings of the Union Pacific and Erie Lackawanna railroads. You can add a non-powered B unit to the powered and unpowered AA set to achieve the traditional A-B-A diesel engine configuration.
