In fact, EMD did not offer a 12-cylinder, 2,000-hp prime mover until the GP39 model was produced in 1969. The shorter 12-cylinder engine block allowed the C420 to have its distinctive set-back cab and extended short hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first road to purchase the C420 was the Lehigh \u0026amp; Hudson River, with its first two units built in 1963. The largest fleet was purchased by the Long Island Railroad, with 30 units built between 1963 and 1968. All were equipped with a high short hood which housed a steam generator for passenger service. Over time, the largest fleet of C420s was amassed by the Louisville \u0026amp; Nashville. While only 26 units were purchased new, their total fleet grew to well over 60 units through mergers and acquisitions. The C420 can still be found in daily service today in the US. Currently the largest fleet of C420s is operated by the Arkansas \u0026amp; Missouri Railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Atlas HO Scale Locomotives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtlas HO scale locomotives are noted for their prototypical, fine details, printing, reliability, excellent throttle response, and smooth operation at slow speeds. They are often available in both Silver Sound Ready and Gold Sound Equipped versions, allowing you to choose which experience you want from your locomotive right from the start. Will you run with sound and DCC controls, or will you run them without with the possibility of upgrading later? No matter what you choose, your Atlas HO scale locomotive will provide you with years of enjoyment and smooth operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Atlas Master Line Locomotives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAtlas Master Line locomotives and rolling stock are highly detailed models that faithfully recreate the prototype down to the paint scheme and even railroad-specific details. They are offered in two varieties--Atlas Master Silver and Atlas Master Gold. Atlas Master Silver locomotives are sound and DCC-ready, with the appropriate speaker and plugs so you can use whatever decoder you prefer. Atlas Master Gold locomotives are DCC and sound-equipped right out of the box, making them the perfect choice for those who dont want to deal with installing decoders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Atlas Model Railroad Company\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe primary mission of Atlas is to produce and offer to the public, multiple scale lines of high quality, model railroad products based on prototype information.
