Denver Model Trains owner OJ got his start in the railroad industry on the Kansas Pacific Railway, making regional and shortline railroading a personal part of his story.

The illuminated lighting package, etched metal parts, rotating bearing caps, detailed underbody piping, and factory-installed LokSound V5 decoder all contribute to a locomotive that looks fantastic up close and performs just as well on the layout. It's exactly the kind of exclusive release that becomes a favorite in the roster.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      For collectors, it's a limited Home Shops exclusive with a distinctive identity.
