The PA locomotives were built by a partnership of American Locomotive 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in single PA1 or PA2 A units or as PA-PB sets, these units are perfect for powering your railroad's passenger trains. Rapido Alco PA series locomotives (both PA and PB diesels) feature completely accurate contours and road-specific details. Carbody contours have been generated using a 3-D laser scan of Doyle McCormack's preserved unit. Other features include roadname-specific details, directional headlights, operating Gyralite, lighted control stands, cab details and lighted numberboards. The smooth-running drive features flywheels and the model comes equipped with Macdonald-Cartier knuckle couplers compatible with all magnetic knuckle couplers. This sound-equipped Alco PA, or PA-PB set is equipped with a full-featured TCS sound and DCC decoder with accurate sounds recorded from the prototype.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe popular Alco PA and PB series returns for a second run!
