The ACL Whitcomb 65-Ton Diesel locomotive is a fascinating piece of rail history. Let’s delve into the details:

• Model Name: ACL Whitcomb 65T #70 (65-DE-19A)
• Scale: N Scale
• Manufacturer: Piko America
• Features:
  • Diecast metal chassis and hood for heavy weight and excellent pulling power.
  • Metal handrails for added realism.
  • Powerful, quiet, smooth-running motor ensures great low speeds and precise running.
  • Numerous factory-applied details for authenticity.
  • Crisp and clean lettering and logo designs.
  • Minimum recommended radius: 7.55” / 192mm.
  • NMRA/DCC-compliant PIKO Sound Decoder for sound versions.
  • Fully enclosed end beams and body-mounted Micro-Trains®-compatible PIKO knuckle couplers for N-Scale Whitcomb versions in the US.
  • Open-end beams and truck-mounted European standard Rapido-style couplers for N-Scale Whitcomb versions sold in Europe and elsewhere.

  • A Little About the Prototype: The Whitcomb 65-Ton Diesel loco (also known as the 65-DE-19A) is a unique and detailed loco that actually helped win WWII. These locomotives were built in America to fit the tight clearances of European railroads. After the US Army Transportation Corps was done with them, some even returned to serve on railroads and industrial short lines all across America.
