Steam Heater Cars, known in Canada as Steam Generator Units or SGUs, were introduced in the diesel era to provide steam heat to passenger trains. When passenger trains were hauled by steam locomotives, there was always a reliable source of steam. Unless a diesel locomotive was equipped with a boiler and water tank, heat could not be provided. This was before the days of Head End Power for passenger cars.

Roco 72001 Diesel Locomotive Class 2062, ÖBB (DCC/Sound)
The Scuderia 46 Diesel locomotive
class 2062, of the Austrian Federal
Railways (ÖBB). The model
painted with blood orange colour
is equipped with “Pflatsch”, sound
decoder and digital
coupling. Epoch IV
Completely new design,The model with newly developed digital shunting coupling is now
available for the first time. More play fun guaranteed ! Rich detailing on the model with
many plug-in parts and freestanding handles. True to original light and sound functions as
well as illumination of the driver’s cabIn 1958 the Austrian Federal Railways procured a
series of the 400 hp strong diesel locomotives of the series 2062, to replace the cost and
labour-intensive steam locomotives which provided shunting services. The Jenbacher
Werke in Tyrol built a total of 65 pieces of this small biaxial Diesel locomotive until 1966.
With her eye-catching, cast-ironed front plates, which also served as ballast weights, the
locomotive was used throughout Austria for shunting and maintenance services. On the
Lower Austrian branch lines, these locomotives hauled passenger trains that had one or
two wagons. The last locomotives were decommissioned in 2003. Some of the locomotives
are still used today as factory and maintenance train locomotives and are designated series
X262.
Kato 106-6285 4-Car Set P42 Amfleet Viewliner Intercity
Modeling the shorter distance (and northeast corridor)
Intercity passenger cars – the Amfleet II and Viewliner
sleeper, respectively – these cars are decorated in
Amtrak’s most current paint scheme: the Phase VI (also
known as “IVb”), which marries modern aesthetic
simplicity with the traditional Amtrak red, white, and
blue stripes. Pairing modern sensibility with Kato’s
proven track record of smooth rolling trucks and award
winning performance locomotives, these sets are ideal
for modern passenger modelers Roco Lkw Walter .
This set is part of Kato’s “Starter Series” basic train line and contains a locomotive as well
as three passenger cars in a single, attractive package. The locomotive in this set is a brand
new release by Kato, the modified Amtrak Phase V (referred to as Vb to differentiate it),
which is the most current version of this locomotive operating today. 1 x GE P42 ‘Genesis’

railroad.
