Our first run will bring you many never-produced-in-plastic variations, such as: nose and Gyra/Mars lights, stepwell variations, Canadian versions and slugs. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) Railroad converted a heavily-damaged GP40 into a unique one-of-a-kind road slug, number 501. We will be producing 501 in both MKT and Union Pacific - complete with a working motor. Every DCC/Sound locomotive comes with the Mo-Power capacitor, which will end most interruptions to track power. A win for all!

- Road-specific details for each model
