Atlas N C424 Phase 1 Locomotive

The ALCO C424 model was one of the first “Century-series” locomotives to be produced. Its 16-cylinder 251B-series prime mover produced 2,400-hp, making it a direct competitor to the 2,500-hp GE U25B and EMD GP35 models. A total of 190 units were built between 1963 and 1966 for customers throughout North America, including 53 for roads in the US, 92 for Canada and 45 for Mexico. Erie Lackawanna, Canadian Pacific and National de Mexico purchased some of the largest fleets in their respective countries.

The Atlas N Scale C424 is an accurate rendition of the Alco design, matching many of the variations as seen during the production of the prototype locomotive.

This first production run showcases the Phase 1 C424. Future releases to include other common variations such as the Phase 2 model.
