The American Locomotive Company's model 244 prime mover was developed during the mid-1940s to power its post-war diesel locomotives. Interestingly, while Alco helped pioneer diesel technology dating back to the 1920s it had difficulty truly competing against Electro-Motive-Division due to reliability issues with its diesel engines. Before Alco began implementing the 244 in its locomotives the builder had spent most of the 1930s developing an earlier model that was used in most of its early switchers. The new prime mover was supposed to usher in a new era for Alco but instead saw it slip further behind EMD in the marketplace. During the early 1950s the manufacturer replaced the engine with the more reliable 251 that powered its Century series. It would prove to be the company's last engine as it exited the market before 1970.

Recorded from 4306 at the Rail Transport Museum at Thirlmere.
**Please Note**
Responding to user feedback this file uses "Standard North American Function Mapping".
This is a template used for all Diesel files from ESU LLC.
While we realize most Australian Locomotives do not use Bells they are included in the mapping due to the template used. This is easily changable so the user can set the function mapping work as desired.
In October 1956 the NSWGR took delivery of 4301, the first unit of an order for six locomotives to be built by A Goninan and Co at their Broadmeadow plant in suburban Newcastle. In June 1957 the last of the class, 4306, entered service. They were fitted with an Alco 244 engine and were rated at 1600hp (1193kW) for traction.
While recorded from a 43 Class this 12cyl 244 prime mover sound file would also work in the following locomotives.

The Alco 251 diesel engine was developed by the American Locomotive Company to replace the 244 and 539. The 251 Prime mover was Alco’s best selling prime mover. In 1954, the 251 went into production with the inline-6 at Auburn, New York. Ultimately a refined and successful design, the 251 outlived its designer. For a time it was built in Canada by Montreal Locomotive Works. Today it is still available from Fairbanks-Morse. Examples of the 16-Cyl 251 can be found in the following locomotives:
Air Start Examples: C430, C630, C636,C630M, and Some M630s and M636's
Electric Start Examples: RS-27, RSD-15, RSD-17, C424, M424W, C425, C628, C855, C855B, M630, C636, M636, LRC-2, LRC-3 and HR616.
This LokSound Select file contains two versions of the prime mover:
Prime mover #1 (CV48=0) features a "Alco 16-251 with Air Start"
Prime mover #2 (CV48=16) features a "Alco 16-251 with Normal Start" Hide description more…
