This is Kato 1765320 EMD E8A ARR #2401. EMD E8A Alaska Railroad #2401. Carried on smooth-riding A-1-A Blomberg trucks, EMD’s E8 locomotives were built for speed, making them prime candidates for passenger service. Sharing the distinctive “bulldog nose” carbody style with their shorter F-unit counterparts and powered by dual 12-cylinder prime movers riding atop A-1-A Blomberg trucks, EMD’s E-units were both smooth riding as well as fast, making them exceptional at comfortably pulling long trains in passenger service. The Alaska Railroad owned a pair of E8’s - ex-Amtrak units - #2401 and #2402, both acquired in the early 80’s for use in its passenger operations.

Its key features are:
Locomotives will be equipped with a mix of body and truck mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers
Locomotives feature directional Golden White LED headlights and illuminated preprinted numberboards
Locomotives have a powerful five pole motor with all wheel electrical pickup and blackened wheels
Locomotives are DCC friendly
Drop in DCC compatible with the Train Control Systems K0D8 series and Digitrax DN163K0A
