Looking for an ALCO locomotive with powerful sound, still very much alive on today's rails? The Bowser Executive Line ALCO C425 in Delaware-Lackawanna colors, equipped with DCC and sound, is exactly what you need. The C425 was a 2,500-horsepower alternative to the C424: it used a different main generator to achieve the extra 100 horsepower. Produced between October 1964 and December 1966, only 99 examples were built. The Delaware-Lackawanna, a Pennsylvania shortline, is renowned for running vintage ALCO Century locomotives to this day — a true paradise for fans of the builder, making this livery perfect for a contemporary 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 in the configuration specific to the DL. 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.
