Description

Bachmann HO 68305 Siemens Charger ALC-42 Diesel Electric Locomotive with DCC/TCS WOWSound Amtrak Phase VII #311

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.

**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.
