Pennsylvania #4866 (Silver)
GG1 Electric Locomotive
   The Joshua Lionel Cowen Series GG1 is available in silver and is packed with top-of-the-line features. To simulate prototypical operation, press a button on the CAB-1 Remote Controller and watch a plume of smoke erupt from the blow-off stack. Other action-packed features include intricate metal pantographs that deploy and retract automatically, and RailSounds 5.0 effects synchronized to each operation. For customized operation, a CAB-1 command can adjust pantograph orientation regardless of direction. Those who prefer conventional operation are not left out. Most of these and other exciting features can be easily accessed with traditional transformer control.

 

FEATURES:
  • TrainMaster Command Control equipped—able to run in Command Control Mode or in Conventional Transformer Control Mode
  • Odyssey System for speed control with ON/OFF switch
  • Operating pantographs deploy and retract according to direction, a TMCC CAB-1 command, or with Conventional Mode roof mounted switches
  • Pantograph lock-down prevents accidental operation on layouts with low clearances
  • RailSounds 5.0 sound system, with CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements, each with different scenarios depending on whether the locomotive is in motion or stopped
  • RailSounds 5.0 effects simulate the raising and lowering of the pantographs, perfectly synchronized with each operation
  • Adjust the blower RPM independent of locomotive speed via a CAB-1 command
  • Independently adjustable volume control—lower the level of background effects such as the blower with the CAB-1 Remote Controller, while keeping operator-controlled effects such as the horn at full volume
  • Many operator-controlled effects, including CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements, are accessible in Conventional Transformer Control Mode
  • Dual FatBoy speakers for the ultimate in sound reproduction
  • Realistic steam generator blow-off—a plume of smoke erupts from the stack in Conventional or Command Control Mode
  • Dual powerful maintenance-free motors with momentum flywheels
  • Directional LED headlights
  • Directional marker lights illuminate on the end opposite of the active headlight
  • Illuminated number boards
  • Die-cast metal body and trucks
  • Front and rear ElectroCouplers
  • Traction tires
  • Accurate separately applied builder's plates
  • Illuminated front cab interior
  • Engineer and fireman figures in front cab
  • Opening side doors, end doors, and roof hatches
  • Removable roof panel reveals all controls for easy adjustments without having to remove the GG1 from the track

Milwaukee Road EP-2 "Bipolar" E-1
Milwaukee Road EP-2 "Bipolar"Electric Locomotives
The massive Milwaukee Road "Bipolar" locomotives are exciting additions to the Lionel Standard O electric roster. The Milwaukee Road's Class EP-2 was equipped with only two poles per traction motor and relied on motor armatures, not gears. The Bipolars ran at very low RPMs, and these locomotives were known for their quiet operation.
Built in 1918 and 1919 by General Electric, the Bipolars were constructed in three sections. The end sections contained the electrical equipment, and the center section contained a boiler. This unique configuration allowed them to snake through curves on the Milwaukee Road's Coast Division.
The Lionel Milwaukee Road Biploars are equipped with the Lionel LEGACY Control System and LEGACY Cruise Control. Milwaukee Road Olympian Hiawatha Heavyweight Passenger Cars are available separately.

FEATURES:
  • LEGACY Control System equipped - able to run in LEGACY Control mode, in TrainMaster Command Control mode, or in Conventional mode with a standard transformer
  • Odyssey II Speed Control with ON/OFF switch
  • LEGACY RailSounds sound system featuring:
    - CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements, each with different scenarios depending on whether the locomotive is in motion or stopped
    - Five official railroad speeds with CrewTalk dialog
    - Eight diesel RPM levels
    - LEGACY "Real-Time Quilling Horn" control with instant response for realistic signature "quilling" and correctly timed warning signals
    - Single hit or continuous mechanical bell sounds
  • Refined conventional transformer control mode with lower starting speeds
  • FatBoy speaker for the ultimate in sound reproduction
  • Dual powerful maintenance-free motors with momentum flywheels
  • Directional headlights
  • Marker lights
  • Illuminated number boards
  • Die-cast metal body and trucks
  • Front and rear ElectroCouplers
  • Traction tires
  • Accurate separately applied builder's plates
  • Illuminated front cab interior
  • Engineer and fireman figures in front cab
  • Removable roof panel reveals all controls for easy adjustments
