Description
Bachmann HO 68303 Siemen Charger ALC-42 Diesel Electric Locomotive with DCC/TCS WOWSound Amtrak '50th Anniversary - Day 1' #301
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. Features include a TCS WOWSound CD-quality 16-bit 44,100Hz decoder with Audio Assist for easy configuration without CVs, and a Keep-Alive device for uninterrupted operation, even over dirty track. The WOWSound diesel-electric locomotive package includes an authentic horn, bell, prime mover, startup/shutdown, compressor, cooling fan, coupler close/release, brake release/application, crew alert, grade crossing quill, station announcements, and more. Loaded with prototypical features, the Charger ALC-42 brings all the sights and sounds of Siemen’s diesel electric locomotive to your layout. Performs best on 22 inch radius curves or greater.
Features include:
- Siemens-approved design
- DCC sound-equipped for sound, speed, direction, and lighting control
- TCS true CD quality audio in 16-bit 44,100Hz sound
- Keep-Alive device that keeps your engine running during power interruptions due to dirty track or loss of electrical contact

Amtrak ALC-42 Charger
Including this one which I've recently just purchased, I own three of the Bachmann Charger locomotives, an SC-44 and two ALC-42's. Over all I have mostly positive things to say about them. I am encountering a little issue with my particular unit of this livery that I just purchased, and that is that the speaker either is faulty or not mounted correctly as there is static present. Otherwise, the Siemens Chargers are great models, by far the best products Bachmann has ever produced!

Bachmann has really stepped up their game with this one. Great sound, smooth running, great lighting effects. Ditch lights/marker lights in front, Marker lights on rear along with rear headlight. Great model.
