The PRR E6s was not the most numerous 4-4-2 "Atlantic" built by the railroad, but it was the final and most successful Atlantic on the PRR. The E6 was first designed in 1910, and in extensive testing, the E6 prototype consistently outperformed the K2. In 1912, the prototype was super-heated and also had her cylinders enlarged to 23". The locomotive became the E6s, and the PRR built 80 E6s locomotives in 1914. Most of the engines were assigned to New York - Philadelphia - Washington passenger service. They were excellent locomotives, with several lasting until the end of steam on the PRR.
The most famous of the Pennsy's Atlantics was #460. She was the last one constructed, but more importantly #460 became known as the "Lindbergh Special" after racing an airplane! On June 11, 1927, the film of Charles Lindbergh's return to the US was rushed from Washington to New York City for media showings. The #460 was selected to carry the film by locomotive, and she pulled two cars behind her in which films of the Lone Eagle were being developed en route to NYC. #460 made the 216 mile trip in 175 minutes, at one time hitting 115 mph. Arriving with the film already developed, the locomotive won the race with the plane hands-down, and the PRR received considerable deserved publicity and acclaim.
In this production, we are modeling pre-war and post-war versions of the E6s. The pre-war version is a model of #460 as she appeared in 1927. The pre-war models have a standard round headlight, clawfoot markers on the pilot and on the smokebox, a superheater damper on the smokebox, and will pull the 70P66 tender. The post-war models have the same standard round headlight, clawfoot markers on the pilot but not on the smokebox, a whistle shield on the firebox, a wind deflector at the rear of the cab roof, and no superheater damper on the smokebox. They will also pull the 70P66 tender. All of the models have die cast boilers and tender bodies, and come with our Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC sound system with synchronized puffing smoke and integral GoPack capacitors.

The General Electric P42 locomotive is also known as the "Genesis" locomotive. The P42 is a modern 4200 horsepower passenger locomotive used across the United States and Canada. Amtrak's P42 has replaced the EMD F40PH in revenue service and today they are used throughout the United States. Since their introduction, they have had a number of physical revisions to improve the ease of maintenance and parts replacements, including a bolt-on fiberglass nose panel (replacing the original's solid metal which was difficult to repair or replace) and a new headlight bezel that is more rounded than the previous square versions.

DCC AND SOUND EQUIPPED MODEL
Between 1931 and 1940 ALCO built 177 high hood (HH) switching locomotives of various horsepower ratings and body styles. The "HH" models were forerunners to the popular S-series of switchers which featured lower hoods. ALCO's high hood switchers were in production long before similar models from competitors EMC/EMD (1935) and Baldwin (1937). Interestingly, the "HH" model designation is a term coined by rail historians to describe what ALCO documentation had simply referred to as 600-hp or 660-hp switchers. In later years ALCO had referred to these early units as "high hood switchers" so this designation is appropriate.
Of the 177 high hood switchers built, 104 were HH600s, 18 were HH660s, 21 were HH900s and 34 were HH1000s. Some of the largest users of these models included New Haven, Lackawanna and New York Central. Various physical changes occurred during the 19 years these locomotives were in production. The biggest change occurred in 1934 when ALCO hired industrial designer Otto Kuhler to improve the appearance of their very boxy, utilitarian switchers. The post-1937 production units we are now offering featured many of his suggested improvements.
In 1938 ALCO introduced a line of high hood switchers powered by the new model 538 diesel engine which featured a cast iron engine block. This engine was offered in both a 660-hp (non-turbocharged 538) and 1000-hp (turbocharged 538-T) switcher, each weighing approximately 196,000 pounds. The horsepower rating could be adjusted downward slightly per customer specification by lowering the RPM of the diesel engine. Therefore, 600-hp and 900-hp models were offered concurrently. The HH600 and HH660 locomotive models we are offering were produced from 1938 to 1940 and were externally identical.
Features:
All new tooling
Early Blunt truck with separate brake cylinders, molded coil spring detail (optional) and metal truck chains
Separately-applied metal grab irons and lift rings
Separately-applied fine scale handrails and stanchions, coupler cut lever and piping
Directional lighting with golden-white LEDs
Five-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds
NMRA 21-pin plug for DCC
Sound Features for Gold Series (DCC Operation):
Supports all DCC-programming modes
Flexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28
A total of six DCC function outputs are available
Follows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices
Analog (DC) Operation:
The LokSound Select Dual-Mode decoder allows your Atlas Gold Series locomotive to be used on DC as well as on DCC layouts
Please note that the Atlas Quantum Engineer will NOT operate an Atlas Gold Series locomotive equipped with a LokSound Select decoder on an analog (DC) layout. However, the sound and lighting functions of the LokSound Select decoder in the Atlas Gold Series HH660 locomotive can be controlled by an easy-to-use basic DCC system.
Also note that on a DC-powered layout, a DCC and sound equipped locomotive (such as the Atlas Gold Series HH660) CANNOT be consisted with another locomotive that does not also have both DCC and sound (This statement does NOT apply to DCC-equipped locomotives operating on a DCC layout.)
Sound Functionality:
Over 20 sound effects are available, including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor, dynamic brakes and more
There are 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals
Manual and Automatic Notching modes with the ability to change modes "on the fly" are provided for true realism
