Alco Diesel Engines (6 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 62 more up through 2017 under the American Flyer name. Because there are so many, I have split them up over six web pages:

Gilbert Alcos #362 through #467 are on page 1
                       #472 through #4945 are on page 2
                       #21551 through #21929 are on page 3
Lionel Alcos  #8150 through #47998 are on page 4
                       #48100 through #48116 are on page 5
                       #48117 through #48162 are on this page

Unless otherwise specified, 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.

If you have a picture that you would like to share with the world of any of the engines not shown here (or a better picture of one that is shown!), email them to me: theupstairstrain@gmail.com.   Click here for a list of the  pictures 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.
