Description: Railroad Short Name: ATSF, SFThe ALCo PA series locomotives are considered by many to be the most attractive diesel locomotives ever produced. The PA locomotives were built by a partnership of American Locomotive Company 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. While one could argue the ALCos won in style, they did not win in reliability. Their 244 prime movers could not unseat the EMD 567, and the PAs were demoted to secondary service on many lines. Most were retired as passenger service declined in the 1960s, and nearly all were scrapped.Locomotive Features:Correct nose and roof profiles 3D-scanned from the prototypeLoads of roadname-specific detailsA units and A-B sets availableDynamic or non-dynamic brake versions, where appropriateFull underbody piping and conduitSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factoryEtched-metal grilles, where appropriateLit number boards, headlights and green and white class lightsLit control stands and full cab interiorIncludes pre-decorated etched side number panels for Rio Grande (non-illuminated)Operating Gyralite or red Mars light, where appropriateRapido’s proven drive system adapted from the FA-2
