I noticed at least one of our members yearning to buy some large Alco power. I was also born and raised in Schenectady in the 50's and 60's and remember the main plant at Maxon Road and Erie Boulevard in it's declining days.... I also had a grandmother that worked in the Alco business office and her husband was a signal maintainer for a big Alco consumer-the D&H. For these reasons, Alco power has always held a soft spot for me. Here's a small video of an Atlas"O" catalog # 1324-2 UP C-630 just upgraded with ERR CC+ERR Railsounds board. (Thanks to our friendly Forum members for getting the LEDs to work on this conversion!).
