There really is no reason for this set other then I liked it..
It does not quite fit into My US Set.
I started this set thinking the game I was playing was missing something..  I was playing, Calhadaras coal (yeah again... sigh..) and wanted some Some PRR Alcos, I looked at the dates and saw it 1976 in games oops PRR is now conrail... I knew i had this set laying around... soo.. 

I thought this would be a 15 minute conversion. WoW, I was so wrong. these engines loved to blue haze in converstion. Also, This set is mostly the 2 colors the Locomtion palatte hates the most, Black and blue, since blue is see-though it was pain to remove the haze and keep it from turning florresent blue. Then ther is the black. Wally turns black to shades of brown, green or orange often do to lack of grey shades. oh well, so it took several days working on it here and there in my spare between other projects... now it is done so time to take that hill! Before you ask, Yes these models are ugly, they are majorly abused, used and messed up trains that conrail inherited from several bankrupt railroads. thats why they still have the old livery with a new number pretty much just painted on them


When Conrail was formed in 1976 it inherited an impressive fleet of ALCO Century locomotives including almost every existing model. Unfortunately it didn't last long, the entire fleet was retired and sold or scrapped in the late 70's and early 80's.
This locomotive set contains 15 of Conrail's Centuries, many engines still wear their original livery which makes this a very colourful set of CR blue, PC black, LV red, RDG yellow/green, LHR grey/blue & EL grey/maroon locomotives.
Here is a short list of the included engines:
---------------------------------------------
C-420: #2073 ex-Lehigh & Hudson River units, no d/B.
C-424: #2477, ex-Erie Lackawanna, and #2494, ex-Reading Lines.
C-425: #2427 & #2454, all units are former Penn Central locomotives, #2454 has no d/B.
C-430: #2049, ex-Reading Lines, riding on AAR Type B trucks, and #2056, ex-Penn Central, riding on HiAd trucks.
