MP36PH Virginia Railway Express
Gallery Bi-Level Commuter Train
 
"Starter Set"
Locomotive &
3 Cars
 
 
Prototype Information
 
The Motive Power International MP36PH is used by a number of cities across the country for commuter service, their often distinctive and colorful paint schemes serving to make these locomotives the “figureheads” for local commuter service.

The modern Nippon Sharyo-built Gallery Bi-Level is based off of the same concept as the original Santa Fe "El Capitan" Bi-level design concept, whose success went on to inspire such double decker cars as Amtrak’s Superliners and the Bombardier Bi-Level car which is also used in commuter service. Today, gallery Bi-Level cars such as those used by the Chicago Metra commuter service can be seen operating in several states across the United States, such as Virginia and California.

  Model Information
 
The MP36PH locomotive will use a sophisticated lightpiping and LED system to give it directional headlight and taillight functions across all six of its nose lights, as well as illuminated pre-printed numberboards for push/pull operation.

Locomotive's heavy duty five-pole motor and mechanism designed to pull a 10 car bi-level consist up a 4% grade without the need for a traction tire.

All cars and locomotives are DCC friendly, with available FL12 tail light DCC control decoders for the Cab-coach and FR11 decoders available for optional 11-211/212 Interior Lighting Kits with LED.

Bi-Level cab coaches feature directional lighting for push-pull operation, with alternate illuminating headlight and taillights with an on/off switch for mid-train operation.

Smooth rolling blackened metal wheels
on all Bi-level cars with all-wheel electrical pickup.
