HO PA-1 Locomotive, MKT #153C (RPI23057)

HO-scale Alco PA-1 Locomotive in MKT livery, number 153C, is a detailed HO model that recreates the late-1950s PA/PB upgrade program. This second-run release captures the 567C-powered locomotives delivering about 1,750 horsepower, including the raised mid-carbody, dual exhausts, and four-button EMD-style fans that defined the upgrade era, along with road-name specific detailing for a faithful appearance on a layout.

Designed for HO layouts, the locomotive offers multiple configuration options, including A units or AB sets, with either dynamic or non-dynamic brakes where applicable. It features factory-installed grab irons and handrails, etched grilles, lit number boards, and a full cab interior. Depending on configuration, it can be DC-only, DC/DCC-ready (21-pin), or DC/DCC/Sound with an ESU LokSound V5 decoder, plus the drive system delivers smooth operation. Optional features like an operating Gyralite or red Mars light add authentic flair for display or operation on the railroad.
