Bruk posted:I got another great suggestion for a loco that hasn’t been manufactured in O scale (other than Overland Models) ALCO Century 855.
Id buy it... A and B units...I’m sure others would since Union Pacific was the only one that had them. Everyone loves big UP power. Correct me if i’m wrong. Add it to the list!!!
I would hope the model would fare better than the prototype!
They spent their lives in the general freight pool at North Platte; however, constant shutting down due to overheating & poor performance with its twin prime movers & twin engines led to their early retirement and eventual scrapping by February 1972, after only being in service for less than eight years.
