Although the original \nintention was that they work passenger trains, the success of the GG1 meant that \nthe P5 class were mostly used on freight. A single survivor, prototype #4700, is \nat the Museum of Transportation in St Louis, Missouri.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first P5s were built with box cabs. A grade crossing accident in which the \ncrew were killed led to the substitution of a streamlined steeple type cab in \nlater production, a design which was also applied to the GG1.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOrders were placed for 90 production locomotives classified P5a due to minor \nchanges from the prototypes. Production was split between General Electric and \nWestinghouse. The GE examples were assembled at GEs Erie, Pennsylvania facility, \nstill a locomotive assembly plant today--while final assembly for the \nWestinghouse order was subcontracted to the Baldwin Locomotive Works.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is Broadway Limited's first production of the P5a in N scale. We are \noffering one model type detailed for passenger service and a second type with \nthe details of a freight service locomotive. The most noticeable differences are \nthat the passenger service locomotives have a smokestack and also classification \nlights at the roof corners. Within the two types, we are offering five paint \nschemes, and two unlettered models (one passenger and one freight-type). \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIndustry-leading Model Features:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nParagon4 Sound \u0026amp; Control System featuring ROLLING THUNDER\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIntegral Dual-Mode Decoder with Back EMF for Superb Slow Speed Operation in DC \nand DCC\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPrecision Drive Mechanism Engineered for Heavy Towing and Smooth Slow Speed \nOperation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAll Wheel Electrical Pick-up, including the wheels on the leading and trailing \ntrucks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDie Cast Body with Die Cast Chassis for Maximum Tractive Effort\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPremium Caliber Painting\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPrototypically Accurate Paint Schemes and Road Numbers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOperating pantographs (unpowered)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMany Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Grab Irons, Smokestacks, \nClass Lights, Horn, and Bell\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPrototypical Light Operation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPrototypically Accurate Sounds for the PRR P5a Electrics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTwo Operating Microtrains-compatible Couplers (2)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWill Operate on Code 55, Code 70, and Code 80 Rail\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMinimum Operating Radius: 9 inches\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBroadway Limited Imports is proud to introduce Paragon4: The new benchmark for \npremium HO sound-equipped locomotives.
