L21580 - Amtrak F7A Diesel Locomotive
Pre-order price: $ 895.00

Prototype: As early as the Thirties, passenger traffic in the USA was increasingly shifting from the railroad to the automobile and airplane. Amtrak was founded in 1971 to avoid a total demise of passenger train service, a partially government owned company that took over passenger service from the railroads, which were mainly focused on freight service. Existing motive power and rolling stock was taken over from the predecessor railroads for this operation, thus the famous F7 and streamliner express train passenger cars. These units were quickly painted in a new look with a silver basic color and red/white/blue stripes. Service was started in May of 1971 with this motive power and rolling stock, whereby some of the famous names of the trains were kept. There thus continued to be the "Sunset Limited", which ran between New Orleans and Los Angeles. Naturally, newer locomotives with the Superliner bi-level cars are currently running on Amtrak, but our models show how everything began 50 years ago.

Model: This is a model of an EMD F7 A unit diesel locomotive painted and lettered for the American railroad Amtrak. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era IV.

L22040 - Class Ge 4/4 I Electric Locomotive RhB - Rhaetian Railroad
Pre-order price: $ 1,095.00

Prototype: The first class Ge 4/4 I locomotives were delivered as early as 1947 – they were the first modern RhB electric locomotives with trucks and single-axle drive. Their prototype was the BLS class Ae 4/4, which had been delivered 3 years earlier. These RhB locomotives turned out to be marvelous. A sign of this is the fact that even today – after 74 years – a pair of these 1,600 horsepower and 80 km/h / 50 mph units are still in daily use.At the end of the Eighties, these locomotives were modernized. They were given new cabs and later single-arm pantographs, which along with the red paint scheme greatly changed their appearance. Unfortunately, none of these locomotives has been preserved in their original condition.

Pre-order price: $ 3,695.00

Prototype: In 1921 – 100 years ago – the first RhB Crocodiles, the class Ge 6/6 I electric locomotives, were delivered by SLM in Winterthur. With a performance of 800 kilowatts / 1,072 horsepower and a maximum speed of 55 km/h / 34 mph, these 66 metric ton locomotives fully satisfied the requirements of the times so that 15 units all total were built. Starting in the Eighties, they were replaced by newer locomotives so that currently only 2 units – however very well maintained units – are used pulling special trains. They are also used in regular operation pulling historic cars.

Model: This is a model of the RhB class Ge 6/6 I electric locomotive, the legendary Crocodile. This is a finely detailed model heavily constructed of metal with many separately applied details. The locomotive has a prototypical paint and lettering scheme for Era VI, road number 414 as the locomotive still currently exists.

In addition to the reference about this anniversary, the locomotive also had the company logos for the two model companies Bemo and LGB on it. Both companies had offered this special version of the locomotive as models. Unfortunately, it did not run in this paint scheme very long – as early as 2008 it was overtaken by gear damage, which led to it being stored and scrapped.

L36600 - Amtrak Baggage Car
Pre-order price: $ 349.00

Prototype: At its founding in 1971, Amtrak took over a variety of types of express train passenger cars from the predecessor railroads so that many trains were assembled from all kinds of cars. Naturally, an attempt was made at least with the great express trains to reach a relatively unified look in which mostly the same types of cars were used. However, even with an externally uniform look all kinds of car types were assigned in such a train – starting with standard coaches to baggage cars as well as a dining car, there was one or several vista dome cars – and finally at the end of the train the observation car with its observation salon. Even if the great luxury of the predecessor trains was already history, a part of it lived on with these cars – at least in the long distance trains.

L36820 - D&S RR Passenger Car
Pre-order price: $ 195.00

Prototype: The Durango & Silverton Railroad is world famous and runs in the mountains of Colorado. This line was operated until the Seventies by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. It was then sold and it continued to be run as a pure tourist railroad. Although it is a narrow gauge railroad with a gauge of 3 feet (914 mm), the locomotives and cars do not need to shy away from a comparison with European standard gauge locomotives and cars. Trains with up to 10 of the famous yellow old-timer cars are the rule rather than the exception. These cars are also in dark red and dark green paint schemes – chiefly for special services and historic trains. The dark red cars also have a name in in addition to the car number.

L45925 - RhB Container Car RhB - Rhaetian Railroad
Pre-order price: $ 229.00

Prototype: Most railroads do a large part of their freight service with containers. The same is true of the Rhaetian Railroad in the Grisons. Since the same containers must be loaded on this narrow gauge railroad, a special design was necessary: The load surface is lowered between the trucks so that the car with a container loaded on it does not exceed the loading gauge. In addition to containers, transport frames can also be loaded on these cars, such as for logs, which can be transferred to standard gauge cars or to a truck for the last few kilometers / miles to the destination. There are different designs for these cars, chiefly in the arrangement of the handbrake: A handbrake crank is mounted on the brakeman's platform on one car, while on the other a large hand wheel to set the brakes is mounted on the side of the frame.

Model: This is a model of a Rhaetian Railroad type Sb-t container car. This is the version of a car with a handbrake crank mounted on the brakeman's platform.
