Atlas - HO Scale - ALCo C420 - DCC w/Sound - Delaware-Lackawanna (DL) #414 - Gray/Yellow/Red LV Scheme (SKU 1500-10002971)

Available On: January 1, 2019

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.
