N EMD NW2 Union Pacific #1032 Locomotive (KAT176-4379)

This N-scale EMD NW2 Union Pacific #1032 switcher from Kato is a highly detailed model designed for authentic yard switching on an N-scale layout. It recreates the classic 1,000-hp NW2 powerhouse with rivet-perfect prototype detailing and emphasizes low-speed, high-torque pulling for reliable yard work and switching operations.

Key features include body-mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers for secure coupling, directional golden-white LED headlights and illuminated preprinted number boards, and light piping that keeps the cab interior lighting unobtrusive. The model is DCC-friendly for easy digital control integration, and its low-profile wheels and precise detailing deliver authentic scale presence and smooth performance at yard speeds, making it an ideal centerpiece for realistic switching scenes.
