LGB 2056 Rio Grande Diesel Locomotive

Made from 1991-1995 and similar to the 2055, this is a black and orange locomotive with "Rio Grande" logo.  Different roof treatments include dynamic brake housing and additional ventilators, gibing the locomotive a traditional appearance - much more so than the White Pass.  Otherwise, the it shares the same body shell and chassis with the 2055.  Additionally, as there is no narrow gauge Rio Grande Alco locomotive in real life, this became the first U.S. diesel locomotive in the Queen Mary Series.

Length: 630 mm
