MTH RailKing O 30-20888-1 AS-616 Diesel Engine, Bessemer And Lake Erie #408

PROTOSOUND 3.0 EQUIPPED MODEL

Built from 1950-1954, the AS-616 was Baldwin’s best-selling and final stab at the burgeoning road switcher market, which had been pioneered by Alco’s RS-1 and came to be dominated by EMD’s GP7 and GP9. In theory – and in practice with EMD Geeps – a road switcher was the perfect all-around diesel, equally adept at low-speed yard work or hustling mainline freight. And indeed, AS-616 stood for “All-Service, 6 axle, 1600 horsepower” But the AS-616, like all Baldwin diesels, became typecast by its owners in one particular role: low-speed lugging of heavy loads, both in the yard and in mainline drag freight service.

Relive the excitement and variety of the early diesel years with the RailKing Scale AS-616. Thanks to Proto-Sound 3.0, our model features authentic Baldwin prime mover sounds and the ability to duplicate the low-speed lugging power of its prototype – as well as the ability to hustle along virtually as fast as you care to run it.
