KATO GE U30C Burlington Northern #5383 - N Scale, Brand new in box. My wife and I recently completed the restoration of her grandparents' 100 year old historic home in St. Louis, Missouri. Her grandfather was an importer of KATO and Tomix model trains from Japan, in addition to having a complete layout room of his own. This and other train items we are selling come from his historic collection. All items will be shipped U.S. Postal Service flat-rate priority mail. Good luck in the auction!

Model Information: Last produced in 1991, the GE U30C from Kato is being reworked to modern specification, with a redesigned DCC friendly mechanism and a new detailed underframe which allows the locomotive to be fitted with body mounted, fully automatic magnetic knuckle couplers. Model Features: Locomotives feature directional white LED headlights and illuminated preprinted numberboards Powerful Kato mechanism powered by a 5-pole flywheel motor read more
