Description
Jr Junction Train & Hobby is honored to have exclusively partnered with the Adirondack Railroad to produce scale models of their locomotive fleet and passenger equipment. Our first offering in HO Scale is the locally famous Adirondack Railroad C424 #2400. This model is a standard DC unit and compatible with all standard DC operating layouts.
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.
