Kato 176-5403-DCC EMD E5A CB&Q #9911A “Silver Pilot” w/DCC Locomotive N Scale

The EMD E5 has a distinctive raised angular radiator grill arrangement on the roof that was specific for that locomotive.

A special feature of the new Kato EMD E5A is that the front coupler cowling can be removed on both the skirted and un-skirted units in order to mount a Kato magnetic knuckle coupler – this allows modelers to double head these locomotives when pulling longer trains such as the California Zephyr!

Please note that the optional couplers are only included with the single locomotive releases.

Another point of interest is that all E5’s were custom built with stainless steel corrugated sides so as to match the CB&Q’s stainless cars; a feature that gives these locomotives a noticeable shine and makes the matching Silver Streak Zephyr Zephyr so elegant.

Equipped with a mix of body and truck mounted KATO magnetic knuckle couplers
