Originally built in 1952 for the then-president of the CB&Q Harry Murphy, BNSF #1 has had many names, including CB&Q “Burlington” and BN’s “Mississipi River” - today it has been refitted and relabeled with BNSF’s new “Swoosh” logo and the name of former BN CEO Gerald Grinstein who was part of the merging of the BN and ATSF into the BNSF. This model will replicate many of the specific details of this particular car, including a custom built rear porch, dome antennas on the roof, and the new name plates that are mounted with the BNSF lettering atop the car’s corrugated ribbing.

Model features:
• Smooth rolling Kato trucks with all wheel electrical pickup.
• Custom roof details.
• Rebuilt rear porch section.
• Custom sign plating to mimic the current design of BNSF #1.
• Illuminated rear lights and the capability to be upgraded with 11-211 Interior Lighting Kits Ver.2.
• Drop in DCC compatible with the Digitrax DN163K1D or Train Control Systems K1D4-NC decoders.
