Locomotives
The C-16 2-8-0 Consolidation Locomotives are based upon engines built by the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroads for their Narrow Gauge lines in the Rockies. 2-8-0 Consolidation Engines first began work in the mid-1800’s transporting minerals through the Appalachian region of Pennsylvania.

The Pacific 4-6-2 Steam Locomotive is an accurate representation of Pacific-type Steam Locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works (Philadelphia, PA) in 1927 as the B&O/ Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's President Class 4-6-2 Steam Locomotives.

The Mallet is a wonderfully huge locomotive. It would look great on a big layout with generous curves. Built on a pair of our 4 axle ball bearing equipped power trucks, the Mallet is sure to raise the bar and create a higher standard for all G-Scale steam locomotives.
|
The 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotives were built by several locomotive manufacturers in the early to mid twentieth century. Operated by most railroads in North America, 2-8-2's saw service primarily as freight locomotives until the dawn of the diesel locomotive.
|
The Electro-Motive Division of General Motors produced the E-8 locomotive in the 1950's for use on passenger trains. The E-8 proved to be extremely popular among American railroads. Aristo-Craft's superbly detailed model includes working headlights, detailed and illuminated cab, smoke unit, & metal grab irons, handrails and lift rings.

Meet the new large scale diesel loco from Aristo-Craft Trains. With proven design features, powerful engineering and a variety of popular road names, the GP-40 Diesel will be the star performer on your railway for a long time to come!
|
In late 1993 General Electric introduced the Dash-9 44CW for the domestic and international locomotive market. The Dash 9 was the right locomotive at the right time for GE. Tremendous growth and change within the railroad industry since the early 1990's created a need for new locomotives. The Dash 9 became the locomotive of choice for many major railroads.
|
In 1966, the Electro-Motive Division of GM (EMD) introduced the 3600 horsepower SD-45 for the domestic locomotive market. With its distinctive flared radiators, the SD-45 captured a large share of new locomotive production during the late 1960's.

The Aristo-Craft GE U25-B Diesel Locomotive is an accurate reproduction of the U25-B Diesel Loco built by General Electric (GE) Transportation Systems Division of Erie, PA. GE built 476 of these 2500 horsepower diesel locomotives for use by railroads in the USA and Mexico.

The original road switcher, this is the engine that started it all. The early 1940s saw a requirement for an engine that was as flexible in the yard as on the road. ALCO of Schenectady turned the still new diesel world on its head with the RS-3.
|
|
Starting immediately after the end of World War II, ALCO built hundreds of these 1500 horsepower diesel locomotives for use by railroads in the USA, Mexico, South America, Cuba, and Canada.

Need a small diesel for light duty switching operations on your layout? The Aristo-Craft Centre Cab Switcher is what you need. Small enough to negotiate almost any curve, yet powerful enough to pull long trains, the Centre Cab Switcher is a must for any layout.
|
Lil’ Critters were used primarily in factories to move around rolling stock left off by the mainline systems for the factory to load and unload. The Lil' Critter manages tight curves that larger diesels can't negotiate and is a cute and useful addition to any layout.
Self-propelled Railcar
The Doodlebug was common in the early to mid 20th century on shortlines and branchlines where traffic densities were too heavy for the smaller railbus but not heavy enough for locomotive-hauled passenger trains.
|
The Railbus was common in the early part of the 20th century on narrow gauge railways, shortlines and branchlines where traffic densities were light. Much like its larger cousin the Doodlebug, the gasoline-powered Railbus was cheaper to maintain and faster to service and turn around than traditional locomotive-hauled passenger trains.
