The summer of 1986 brings the Kato-produced Atlas U.S. release
of the HO-scale Alco Century 424 and 425 models. The first release included Century 425's decorated for Erie Lackawanna;
Burlington Northern; Conrail; Chicago & North Western; Norfolk & Western; Pennsylvania; and Spokane Portland &
Seattle; plus Undecorated. The first run of 1986 Alco Century models included one 425 version and it was sold only in
Undecorated examples.
The July '86 Model Railroader magazine Trade Topics column reviews the first offering
of the Atlas Century 424/425 diesel models.
Atlas releases five Alco Century 424 models in 1989:
Erie Lackawanna -Late (#8056); Erie Lackawanna -Early (#8057); Reading (#8058); Delaware & Hudson (#8059); and Pennsylvania
(#8060). Model Railroader magazine reported in its January 1989 issue that this set of Alco Century 424's was the first
time Atlas offered a Phase 1 bodystyle.
