Alco Diesel Engines (5 of 6)
Gilbert made 28 distinct Alco Diesel Engines as
listed on a page and a half of the TM Guide, not counting the
variations on some of the 28. Lionel made 26 more up through
2006 under the American Flyer name. Because there are so
many, I have split them up over six web pages:

the large pictures on this page are of engines in the collection
of The Upstairs Train and the smaller ones are from ebay auctions
I didn't win.

I need to complete the Gallery.
Click on an engine to see the train
it pulls.
When I get all the pages built, that will work for
all engines. For now, it only works for the ones I own.
