This locomotive was available as a special edition, one-time production run, pre-order item.
Based on the highly successful SC-44 Charger, the ALC-42 is designed specifically for cross-country service on America’s most scenic and storied routes, displaying an updated appearance with a new nose profile and cab door configuration. Thanks to both Siemens and Amtrak, Bachmann’s ALC-42 has been developed using original design documentation and employs prototype field recordings for maximum realism.
