Product Information:
EMD's demonstrator locomotives have always drawn attention — purpose-built to show what the platform can do, and wearing paint schemes that stand apart from any railroad's livery. Demo 1201 arrives in the bold yellow Progress Rail scheme, new to the BLI lineup in Run 3. The Paragon4 version is loaded with synchronized EMD diesel sound, user-adjustable operating smoke, and built-in GoPack capacitors that keep performance steady across every inch of track. DCC and DC compatible straight out of the box.
