Description: N standard gauge ready-to-run motor car
Comments: This tiny DC motor car is made as an N standard gauge DC model even though its Rio Grande Southern prototype was narrow gauge. A second version with DCC (Digital Command Control) is under development, but Con-Cor has no plans to make a narrow gauge version.
The good-looking model is only 3½” long, and its box trailer is filled with the mechanism and directional lights. Our sample Goose runs smoothly at realistic slow speeds. The Goose comes decorated for Rio Grande South ern; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe; Denver & Rio Grande Western; Great Northern; Maintenance of way; New York Central; Pennsylvania RR; Southern Pacific; Union Pacific; and in silver without lettering.
