While Electro-Motive's E-units easily beat Alco's passenger engine in terms of popularity, the PA is widely regarded as the most beautiful first-generation diesel - period. Perhaps no other locomotive looked so right at the head of the streamlined trains of the late forties and fifties that were the last hurrah of American long-distance passenger service. The 294 PA's and cabless PB's built between 1946 and 1953 powered some of the most famous name trains from coast to coast, from the Santa Fe's Super Chief to the New Haven's Merchants' Limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe muscular PA profile and its elegant nose with the characteristic grille around the headlight were designed by Ray Patten of General Electric. At the time, GE and Alco were partners in the locomotive business, with GE making the electrical equipment for all Alco diesels. While Alco would later fall by the wayside, GE went on to become America's largest locomotive builder by the early 1990's. Under the hood of the PA beat a 16-cylinder model 244 prime mover that developed 2000 hp. Depending on their gearing, PA's could hustle a passenger consist along at up to 100 mph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecreate the excitement of first-class passenger travel with the RailKing Alco PA locomotive and matching RailKing passenger sets. MTH's ProtoSound 3.0 sound and control system brings you the authentic sounds of an Alco prime mover and the ability to start your train so gently you won't spill the water in the diner - and then accelerate up to scale speeds of over 100 mph, just like the prototype.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricately Detailed, Durable ABS Bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-Cast Truck Sides \u0026amp; Pilots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Handrails and Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Paint Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Wheels, Axles and Gears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Remote-Controlled Proto-Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Operating Metal Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Rule 17 Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectionally Controlled Constant Voltage LED Headlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Precision Flywheel-Equipped Motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC\/DCS Decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Speed Control In Scale MPH Increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring Passenger Station Proto-Effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Measures: 28 1\/2” x 2 1\/2” x 3 5\/8”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates On O-31 Curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiesel DCC Features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadlight\/Taillight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart-up\/Shut-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassenger Station\/Freight Yard Announcements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLights (except head\/tail)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward Signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse Signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade Crossing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdle Sequence 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdle Sequence 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdle Sequence 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Start-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Shut-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRev Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRev Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Shot Doppler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler Slack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Horn Blast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine Sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake Sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab Chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeature Reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoke On\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoke Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MTH RailKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597668827349,"sku":"MTH30210771","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/mth-railking-30-21077-1-o-gauge-alco-pa-a-a-diesel-new-york-central-ps3.jpg?v=1716661380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/mth-railking-30-21077-1-o-gauge-alco-pa-a-a-diesel-new-york-central-ps3","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
