Bachmann 67702 HO Scale Siemens ALC-42E Charger "Phase VII" Amtrak 7003 DCC & WOWSound
Similar in appearance to the standard Siemens ALC-42 locomotive used on long distance Amtrak® services, the ALC-42E is specifically designed for fixed trainset use with new Amtrak® Airo passenger equipment. While the external design is generally the same as the ALC-42, the ALC-42E features a different rear configuration with a lower headlight placement and the addition of a socket for battery operation from an auxiliary battery coach. ALC-42E locomotives debut with Amtrak Cascades® in 2026, and will enter service on the Northeast Corridor in 2027.
Bachmann’s Siemens ALC-42E features the same level of detail and functionality found on their standard ALC-42 model, with TCS WOWSound® DCC and authentic sounds recorded directly from the prototype.
