With 2,400 horsepower and a great deal of new technology, these locomotives stormed onto the scene in the early 1950s. Ahead of their time, the impressive debut was somewhat diminished by more costly maintenance.
The Southern Pacific used their beautiful "Black Widow" paint scheme on these powerful workhorses, creating quite a sight as they hauled freight down the line. By the 1960s the once prominent diesels were relegated to commuter operation in California and the heyday of the Southern Pacific Trainmaster became a thing of the past. By the 1970s only the memories and a few commuters remained.
You can bring back those early days with this awesome recreation from Lionel. Complete with all the technology that the LEGACY Control System evokes, including the industry best LEGACY RailSounds.
