Kato N 1766124 MP36PH Chicago Metra Black Roof, Chicago Metra #424

DCC Friendly.

The MP36PH is a diesel locomotive built in 2003 by MotivePower, Inc. (MPI) to tow commuter trains in the U.S. and Canada. For Chicago Metra, these MP36PH locomotives are routinely seen with double-decker Gallery Bi-Level cars in push-pull operation. In the Chicagoland area, they transport around 300,000 people each day! Starting in 2020, the entire roof of the locomotive was painted black to make soot stains on the roof less noticeable. These locomotives are perfect to double head with other Chicago Metra locomotives such as the MP36PH with regular paint or the F40PH!

Nothing is more iconic with the Chicago Metra MP36PH's than the Gallery Bi-Level commuter cars! Featuring a Cab car and two coaches, the 4 car set is the prefect way to start your commuter train empire! On top of the gallery Bi-Level coaches is a beautiful MP36PH in regular paint to complete the consist.
