ALCO built a total of 131 Century 420 locomotives between 1963 and 1969, when the builder ceased all new locomotive production. Powered by a 12-cylinder, turbocharged, 2,000-hp 251-series prime mover, the C420's direct competitor in 1963 was the EMD GP18. In fact, EMD did not offer a 12-cylinder, 2,000-hp prime mover until the GP39 model was produced in 1969. The shorter 12-cylinder engine block allowed the C420 to have its distinctive set-back cab and extended short hood. Examples of this locomotive remain in service today.
Features:
- Flat or "step" pilots used where appropriate
- Long hood with or without dynamic brake used where appropriate
- 3,100 or 2,400 gallon fuel tank used when appropriate per road name
- Separately-applied coupler cut levers
- Painted safety rails
- Dual flywheels
- Directional lighting
- Blackened metal wheels
- Scale Speed motor
- Factory installed AccuMate magnetic couplers
Besides the features provided by earlier Atlas decoders, the new Atlas/NCE N-scale decoders offer the following additional capabilities:
- Both short and long addresses can be programmed on main line (Ops Mode)
- Silent Running motor drive
- Torque Compensation for ultra smooth low speed performance
- Programmable Start, Mid and Maximum speed CVs that work in all speed modes
- Four function outputs with lighting effects generators that allow you to select from 15 different lighting behaviors (Ditch lights, Mars light, strobes, beacon, flicker, etc)
