Put a slice of 1960s Americana beside your N scale right-of-way with this fully assembled Classic Metal Works Mini Metals roadside billboard, decorated with Coca-Cola's classic "Things Go Better with Coke" advertisement in white, green and red.

The Prototype

Coca-Cola launched "Things Go Better with Coke" in 1963, and it ran through the rest of the decade as one of the brand's most recognizable campaigns, carried on radio jingles, magazine pages and thousands of billboards along America's highways and rail lines. In the era before the Highway Beautification Act of 1965 thinned them out, painted and printed boards like this lined country roads everywhere, which makes one a natural fit for any 1950s–1970s layout.

Features

• Die-cast metal construction, factory assembled and ready to place
• Officially licensed Coca-Cola artwork – "Things Go Better with Coke"
• Approximately 2.75" long x 0.5" wide x 2" high
• N scale (1:160)
• Manufacturer: Classic Metal Works / Round 2
• Item #21000  |  UPC 849398033692

The Prototype

The ALC-42 ("Air Liquid Cooled, 4,200 hp") is Siemens' long-distance version of the SC-44 Charger. It was built at Siemens' plant in Sacramento, California to replace Amtrak's aging P42 Genesis fleet. The ALC-42 adds a new nose profile and cab door arrangement for cross-country service.

The first units entered revenue service in 2022 on the Empire Builder. ALC-42s now lead trains across the West, including the Southwest Chief and Sunset Limited through Arizona. They wear Amtrak's Phase VI livery, which debuted on the Chargers. As #300, it's the first unit on the ALC-42 roster.

Siemens ACS-64 #600 – the very first of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor "Cities Sprinter" electrics – in its special American flag demonstrator scheme, with DCC WOWSound on board.

The Prototype

Amtrak ordered 70 ACS-64s ("AC Sprinter, 6,400 kW") from Siemens to replace its aging AEM-7 and HHP-8 electrics. Built in Sacramento, California, the 8,600 hp ACS-64 can reach 125 mph. It became the workhorse of the Northeast Corridor and Keystone services after entering service in 2014, pulling Northeast Regional trains between Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington.

#600 was the first unit built. It rolled out in a patriotic flag-themed demonstrator scheme that made it one of the most photographed locomotives on the Corridor.

Amtrak's classic F40PH in the Phase IV scheme – silver with wide blue and thin red stripes – as #401, with ESU sound and DCC.

The Prototype

EMD built the 3,000 hp F40PH especially for passenger service, and the first units entered Amtrak service in 1976. The F40PH quickly became the face of Amtrak, handling long-distance, corridor and commuter trains across the country for more than two decades. Many still work today on commuter and tourist lines.

The Phase IV livery, with its bold wide blue and thin red stripes, became Amtrak's standard look in the early 1980s. For many railfans it's the definitive F40PH era. Walthers based this model on the Phase 2b prototypes.

ESU Sound & DCC

• Factory-installed ESU sound decoder – runs on DCC or DC
• 14, 28 and 128 speed steps; 4 function outputs with brightness control
• 4 selectable air horns (Nathan K5LH default, K5HLL, K5H, K5LLA) and 2 bells (Graham White E-Bell, GE steel bell)
• Full 8-notch prime mover, compressor and dynamic brake sounds

Model Features

• Five-pole skew-wound motor, 14:1 gear ratio, helical-cut gears
• All-wheel drive and electrical pickup; heavy die-cast chassis
• Constant directional LED lighting
• Factory-installed vertical handrails; drill starter points for optional grab irons
• RP-25 metal wheels and Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers
• 21-pin (21MTC) decoder connector

Specs

• Scale: HO (1:87)
• Manufacturer: WalthersMainline
• Item #: 910-19468
• Road / number: Amtrak #401 (Phase IV)
• Model: EMD F40PH, ESU Sound and DCC

DC note: do not use power packs rated over 18V, including MRC 1300-series units.

The real locomotive that pulls today's Grand Canyon Railway trains from Williams, Arizona to the South Rim – now in HO scale with factory-installed ESU sound.

The Prototype

The Santa Fe opened the 64-mile line from Williams to the Grand Canyon's South Rim in 1901, and for decades it carried visitors to Grand Canyon Village. Passenger service ended in 1968. Max and Thelma Biegert bought the line and brought it back to life on September 17, 1989, exactly 88 years after the first passenger train.

Grand Canyon Railway #237 is an EMD F40PH built in 1977 for Amtrak. EMD's 3,000 hp F40PH became the standard North American passenger diesel after 1976, and Amtrak ran #237 into the late 1990s. The Grand Canyon Railway acquired it with sister units #239 and #295 in February 2003. After full refurbishment and modernization, they entered service in 2004, and they remain the railway's primary motive power today.

If you've ridden the train out of Williams, there's a good chance #237 was on the point.

Rapido's blueprint-accurate HO Santa Fe RR-56 mechanical reefer with the Super Chief slogan, road number SFRD 2000.

The Prototype

Santa Fe ran one of the largest refrigerator car fleets in America through its Santa Fe Refrigerator Despatch (SFRD), carrying California and Arizona produce east and frozen foods across the country. In the 1950s the railroad moved from ice-bunker reefers to mechanical refrigeration, with diesel-powered cooling units that held a set temperature for the whole trip.

Santa Fe introduced the RR-56 class in 1955, building on lessons learned from the earlier RR-54 cars. The class totaled 200 cars numbered 2000–2188 and 2500–2510. They were built with SFRD reporting marks, which changed to SFRP in 1963. The similar RR-60 and RR-61 classes followed with improved insulation.

Santa Fe also used its freight cars as rolling billboards for its famous passenger trains. This car carries the Super Chief slogan, advertising the all-Pullman streamliner between Chicago and Los Angeles. As #2000, it's the first car of the RR-56 class.

Features

• Drawn from original Santa Fe blueprints and drawings
• Lettering and artwork sourced from original design drawings and photos
• Separate door posts, door latches and coupler cut levers
• Fully detailed underframe with piping and mechanical equipment
• Detailed cushion draft gear with Kadee #158 whisker couplers

Rapido's blueprint-accurate HO Santa Fe RR-56 mechanical reefer with the Texas Chief slogan, road number 2154.

The Prototype

Santa Fe ran one of the largest refrigerator car fleets in America through its Santa Fe Refrigerator Despatch (SFRD), carrying California and Arizona produce east and frozen foods across the country. In the 1950s the railroad moved from ice-bunker reefers to mechanical refrigeration, with diesel-powered cooling units that held a set temperature for the whole trip.

Santa Fe introduced the RR-56 class in 1955, building on lessons learned from the earlier RR-54 cars. The class totaled 200 cars numbered 2000–2188 and 2500–2510. They were built with SFRD reporting marks, which changed to SFRP in 1963.

Santa Fe also used its freight cars as rolling billboards. This car carries the Texas Chief slogan, promoting Santa Fe's streamliner between Chicago and Galveston, Texas.

The Prototype

Santa Fe ran one of the largest refrigerator car fleets in America through its Santa Fe Refrigerator Despatch (SFRD), carrying California and Arizona produce east and frozen foods across the country. In the 1950s the railroad moved from ice-bunker reefers to mechanical refrigeration, with diesel-powered cooling units that held a set temperature for the whole trip.

In 1958 Santa Fe followed the RR-56 cars with the RR-60 and RR-61 classes. Built to the same basic design and dimensions as the RR-56, the RR-61s carried upgraded insulation and were classed as super-insulated, all-purpose mechanical temperature-controlled cars.

Santa Fe also used its freight cars as rolling billboards. This car carries the San Francisco Chief slogan, promoting the streamliner Santa Fe launched in 1954 between Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Atlas Trainman HO 68' flat car in Union Pacific maintenance-of-way (MOW) green and white, road number 915804.

About the Prototype

Railroads keep a fleet of company-service cars that never haul paying freight. Their job is maintaining the railroad itself. Union Pacific's maintenance-of-way flats, numbered in the 900000 series, carry rail, crossties, track panels, bridge timbers and work equipment out to track gangs across the system.

Long, plain-deck flats like this 68' car are ideal for those loads. A string of them in MOW paint makes a great work train behind an older road switcher, or a spot on a siding next to a tie pile.

Features

• Union Pacific MOW #915804 – green with white lettering
• Detailed 68' flat car body and underframe
• Knuckle couplers; ready to run

Specs

• Scale: HO (1:87)
• Manufacturer: Atlas Model Railroad (Trainman series)
