NEW N C-630 LOCOMOTIVE ROADNAMES
During 1965 Alco started producing the 3,000 hp. Century 630
Locomotive. It was produced concurrently with the 2,800 hp. C-628,
but it incorporated an advanced GE a.c. traction alternator which
provided the extra 200 hp. The most distinctive spotting feature of
the C-630 is the large aftercooler radiator housing which extends
above the roofline (the aftercooler radiators enhanced the
performance of the locomotive while operating under a heavy load).
The C-630 also featured a modified cab which offered more interior
space for the crew. Through the end of production in the late
1960s, a total of 133 units were produced for railroads in the US
and Canada.
Features Include:
-Golden-white LED
-Painted safety rails

NEW MODEL! N SCALE U23B
Powered by a V12 FDL prime mover, the 2250 h.p. U23B was GE?s
intermediate-sized four-axle road-switcher of the late 1960s
through the mid 1970s. The U23B?s direct competitor during this
period was the very successful EMD GP38. In 10 years of production
from 1968 through 1977 a total of 481 units were produced, making
this the second best seller of GE?s ?Universal Series? locomotives.
The first units were delivered to the Delaware & Hudson in
August and September 1968. CSX predecessors Chesapeake & Ohio
and Louisville & Nashville had a combined fleet of 120 units,
giving CSX one of the larger active fleets in later years. Penn
Central, Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific also purchased sizeable
fleets of U23Bs.
Primary spotting features include a stepped-out radiator section
and two sets of three tall engine access doors near the center of
the long hood. During production, the U23B was equipped with
various truck side frames, including Blomberg trucks from EMD
trade-in locomotives, AAR-style trucks, or GE?s own four-axle ?FB2?
truck. One of these three truck styles is included on our model
where appropriate per road name.
Today the number of active U23B?s has dwindled, but a handful can
still be found working for short lines and regional railroads in
North America.
