Alco and MLW Century locomotives left their mark on Canadian railroading, and the C-424 is a standout. This Atlas model, in Canadian National colors, recreates the 2,400 hp road switcher on four powered axles (B-B), driven by the Alco 251 engine.
This Atlas Classic Gold model stands out for its redesigned "AAR"-style truck sideframes (with separate brake cylinders and bearing caps, per prototype), five-pole skew-wound motor with dual flywheels, and directional golden-white LED lighting. Separately applied wire grab irons, ladders, drop steps and marker lenses, painted handrails, and two painted crew members complete the detailing. The locomotive carries a dual-mode ESU LokSound V5 sound and DCC decoder, ready to run on both DCC and DC (analog) layouts.
