N SCALE, STANDARD DC, DCC READY (DECODER NOT INCLUDED). Model Features: Equipped with body mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers. Directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated preprinted number boards.
Locomotives are DCC friendly with a pre-built speaker housing space in the fuel tank. Model Information: Kato's new ALC-42 "Charger" model represents the Siemens Diesel-Electric engine as it has been ordered by Amtrak long distance service. This model differs from other regional variations of the "Charger" model with an extended nose section, larger fuel tank and sandfill tank, and other internal modifications to make it better fit Amtrak's needs for cross country travel. All of these details have been carefully and lovingly replicated on the brand new Kato model, which features totally new molding and design from the ground up.
