Looking for an ALCO locomotive with powerful sound and a distinctive character for your consists? The Bowser Executive Line ALCO C424 in Toledo, Peoria & Western colors, equipped with DCC and sound, is exactly what you need. The C424 was the 2,400-horsepower catalog replacement to the earlier RS-27 road switcher. Produced between April 1963 and May 1967, 183 examples were built (American and Canadian versions), with several surviving into the 2020s as working diesels, excursion locomotives, or museum pieces. In the colors of this classic Midwestern US shortline, it brings authentic, distinctive character to your layout.
What sets this model apart is the attention to detail the Bowser Executive Line is known for. It recreates the railroad- and era-specific body variations, here with the low nose specific to the 1980s TP&W. Factory-installed air hoses, windshield wipers, grab irons, coupler lift bars, and window glazing: all the details are there. This version is equipped with an ESU LokSound V5 sound and DCC decoder and operates on both DCC and DC layouts (limited sound features on DC). An operating headlight, can motor with dual flywheels, nickel silver wheels with RP25 flanges, and knuckle couplers ensure smooth, reliable operation.
