This HO scale (1:87) model railroad engine was produced by budget brand Tyco. The company released multiple paint versions, along with box cards, cabooses, and steam locomotives for the commemorative sets.

History, links, and additional info:

Available resources about the history of the manufacturer and/or origin and the item.

This engine is modeled after the Alco Century 430 diesel locomotive, but the paint scheme was based on an actual GE U36B owned by the Seaboard Coast Line. Tyco produced the same plastic body in at least two other paint schemes. They also made an Alco C620 replica, steam locomotive (replica model/type unknown), and passenger-style diesel (EMC F-9), along with box cars and cabooses.
