Simulated Gold Krauss-Maffei (not pictured)
(No.5052-$15.98)
A favorite among collectors of HO-scale trains, AHM's model of the
German Krauss-Maffei ML-4000 was produced by Rivarossi. The prototype of this diesel-hydraulic was brought over from Germany
in the early '60s and operated on the Rio Grande and Southern Pacific.
The Powered loco originally sold for $12.95
and the Lighted Non-Powered version was listed at $5.95 in the 1967-68 AHM Catalog.
By the late '70s, AHM no longer
lists the Krauss-Maffei. Rivarossi did bring this unique loco back to the HO-Scale market sometime in the 1980s
under their own name.
Seen below, AHM offered the KM's as a power and dummy double A set. Notice the stock number
includes a suffix "C" to note the double set.
