The future of long-distance passenger railroading is heading to N Scale. Based on the highly successful medium-distance SC-44 Charger, the ALC-42 displays a range of features for cross-country service on America's most scenic and storied routes, including a unique nose design and cab door configuration. Bachmann's ALC-42 Charger has been developed in collaboration with Siemens Mobility, using original design documentation and prototype field recordings for maximum realism.
