DUFORD MODEL WORKS SPECIAL!
Kato N 176-2303-LS-DMW with DCC/ESU LokSound V5 EMD FP7A Milwaukee Road 'Post 1955 Armour Yellow' MILW #96C
FULLY LOADED by Duford Model Works exclusively for Lombard Hobbies
Features:
- Totally new FP7 mechanism to reflect the prototypical appearance of the Milwaukee equipment
- Exclusive DCC/ESU LokSound V5 model from Duford Models**
**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
Who is Duford Model Works? Well, if you know him then nothing else need be said. If you don’t then you should know DMW is Kelley Duford, the past Kato employed master DCC/Sound specialist who up to his new employment with ScaleTrains in 2021, was the sole person responsible for installing thousands of custom DCC/Sound packages in ALL Kato engines both HO & N scales. No one knows Kato and DCC better...and no one brings better value to your train dollar than Lombard Hobbies. Get these unique, limited quantity custom installs while you can!
Prototype Information:
In 1955, the Milwaukee Road announced that they would operate Union Pacific streamliners between Chicago and Omaha. This meant that the Hiawatha would be painted in Union Pacific’s Armour Yellow colors. In 1956, the line was officially “partnered with Union Pacific” as they navigated the next couple years competing with both airline and automobile travel. The Hiawatha train wore the UP colors into the sunset as The Afternoon Hiawatha ran up until January 23, 1970. The next year, The Morning Hiawatha service was also discontinued and replaced by Amtrak lines.
For the Olympian Hiawatha release, Kato will be making a new FP7A locomotive and a new tooled version of the F7B featuring a winterization hatch (a necessity for trips through the northern US and across the Rockies!)
