Bachmann HO 68304 Siemens Charger ALC-42 Diesel Electric Locomotive with DCC/TCS WOWSound Amtrak Phase VII #309

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.

• TCS true CD quality audio in 16-bit 44,100Hz sound

**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
