Based on units in service from 1956 to the present, these fine HO Scale replicas are loaded with roadname specific details sure to please even the most discerning prototype modeler. This run includes the Western Maryland shop-modified chopped-nose units, the first time these diesels have been offered in HO Scale plastic. Warn motorists and crews on the ground with the operating "Warn-A-Lite" beacon used on the C&NW units, or the classic SP five-light package on that unit's short hood. Walthers has done the research to reward you with an accurate model. The powerful Proto drive ensures you'll have a unit that performs as well as it looks, too!
