Atlas N: Apache Railway C420 Ph.2b Low Nose Locomotive #84

This release of the C420 is a low-nose phase 2 model. All Phase 2 versions will feature the low/vertical mounted engine air intake located ahead of the radiator area on the long hood. Early phase 2 locomotives feature phase 1-style walkways/sills with stanchions mounted into the top walkway deck (referred to as Phase 2a models). Later phase 2 locomotives feature a revised configuration where the stanchions are mounted to the sides of the sill (referred to as Phase 2b models). Phase 2a production ran from December 1964 through September 1965. Phase 2b units were produced from December 1965 through the end of C420 locomotive production in August 1968.
