The introduction of the Alco Century C628 featured, for the first time, a single-engine locomotive capable of producing desirable adhesion and tractive effort in a six-axle design. In fact, the C628 changed the concept of the six motor unit from that of a low-speed heavy hauler to a fast freight locomotive. The lengthened chassis and short nose resulted from the removal of components formally found in the nose section. The carbody itself was sealed and an area directly behind the cab was reserved for a steam generator. However, since all the C628 engines were produced for freight service, the generator was not needed the space went unused. M.T.H., for the first time brings the Century series back to life as an all-new RailKing Scale model in a variety of roadnames that are sure to please. Available in the markings of Conrail, Lehigh Valley, Reading, Santa Fe, and Union Pacific these highly detailed 1:48 scale models provide realistic operation and the long list of features shown.
