The D&RGW ML 4002 - A locomotive from American railroad history

The Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, or D&RGW for short, was one of the most famous railroad companies in the western United States and is particularly well known for its use of powerful diesel locomotives on steep routes through the Rocky Mountains. The ML 4002, part of the popular "ML Series", was designed for heavy freight service and was ideal for the demanding mountain routes due to its rugged construction and high performance. This locomotive made its mark on freight transportation in the United States and became a symbol of reliability and strength.

The ML 4002 model from Piko reflects the original appearance of the locomotive, including the striking paint scheme in yellow and black - colors that were characteristic of the D&RGW. This locomotive is suitable for both collectors and model railroaders who operate a layout in the style of American freight traffic. Due to the Era III representation, this model fits particularly well into a scenery of the 1960s and 1970s, in which the D&RGW had its peak in freight traffic.

Detailed and high-quality workmanship from Piko
