Alco C424 Phase 3 with late CP-style rear hood, ESU LokSound \u0026amp; DCC. Morristown \u0026amp; Erie #4223 (red, black, multimark logo, 8 stripes). The ALCO C424 model was one of the first “Century-series” locomotives to be produced. Its 16-cylinder 251B-series prime mover produced 2,400-hp, making it a direct competitor to the 2,500-hp GE U25B and EMD GP35 models. A total of 190 units were built between 1963 and 1966 for customers throughout North America, including 53 for roads in the US, 92 for Canada and 45 for Mexico. Erie Lackawanna, Canadian Pacific and National de Mexico purchased some of the largest fleets in their respective countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy late 1964 ALCO had determined that an extra 100-hp did make a difference to some customers, and the 2,500-hp C425 model was the result. Improvements over the C424 included a higher capacity main generator, a simplified electrical control system, increased radiator capacity and an upgraded 251C prime mover. The appearance of the body was nearly identical to the C424, with one major exception being the addition of a bulge above the radiator intake grille at the rear of the long hood. A total of 90 units were produced between late 1964 and 1966, all for US roads. The largest purchases were made by Pennsylvania and Spokane Portland \u0026amp; Seattle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eC425 Phase 2 models include cab with either horizontal or vertical headlights per the prototype\u003cbr\u003eModels include redesigned “AAR” style truck sideframes with separate brake cylinders and separate bearing cap detail (included when appropriate per the prototype).\u003cbr\u003eDirectional lighting w\/ golden-white LEDs\u003cbr\u003eFive-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds\u003cbr\u003eFactory-equipped with AccuMate® knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003eAnalog version features NMRA 8 pin plug for DCC\u003cbr\u003eSeparately-applied wire grab irons, ladders, and drop steps\u003cbr\u003eSeparately-applied marker lenses\u003cbr\u003eImproved painting and printing w\/painted handrails\u003cbr\u003eTwo painted crew members\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDCC Operation\u003cbr\u003eSupports all DCC-programming modes\u003cbr\u003eFlexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28.\u003cbr\u003eA total of six DCC function outputs are available\u003cbr\u003eFollows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnalog (DC) Operation\u003cbr\u003eThe LokSound Select Dual-Mode decoder allows your Atlas Gold Series locomotive to be used on DC as well as on DCC layouts.\u003cbr\u003ePlease note that the Atlas Quantum Engineer will NOT operate an Atlas Gold Series locomotive equipped with a LokSound Select decoder on an analog (DC) layout.
