This is the second varient of this popular prime mover.
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.
This sound file would be appropriate for the following locomotives:
RS-2
RS-3
RSC-2
RSC-3
RSD-4
RSD-5
Although there are slight differences, this sound file could also be used in the following locomotives:
FA-1
FB-1
FA-2
FB-2
FPA-2
FPB-2
As there are no 16cyl 244 equipped prototype locos remaining, the 12cyl 244 would be a close stand in for the following Locomotives:
PA-1
PB-1
PA-2
PB-2
RSD-7
As with all SELECT decoders there are up to 16 separate horns, 2 separate brake squeals and 2 bells included on this one sound profile! All changeable using CV48.
