Meet the winner of the horsepower race: the GE AC6000. Measuring about 76 feet from coupler to coupler, the AC6000's have about 6000 HP under the hood. That's more than the UP Big Boys were able to produce. Adding to that incredible amount of power, these monsters are often run in pairs. On today's railroads, in the US and Australia, they are the king of the hill.
Broadway Limited Imports has produced the finest HO scale model of this locomotive on the market today. Along with its excellent level of detail, the model features Broadway Limited's new state-of-the-art sound and control system - Paragon2. The model is ready to run in DC or DCC out-of-the-box.
