H 24 66 - MagnumMacKivler/RLCPT2 GitHub Wiki
The iconic H24-66 "Train Master". The name itself speaks authority, proclaiming it's mastery of all things locomotives. Well, except for the mastery of being able to sell well. Boasting a new frame, trucks, and carbody, the H-24-66 was a very powerful locomotive for it's time, albeit with reliability issues. Selling from April 1953 to June 1957, it served as an interesting choice for railroads due to it's power. It sold 127 units.

Notes
(1): H-24-66s could be ordered with GE electrical gear, and later H-24-66s came with GE gear by default. This would change Gen Max Current to 3600 Amps, the Max TM Current to 1800 Amps, the Max Continuous TM Current to 1085 Amps, the Transition Groups to 2, 2, 1, 1 , and the Transition Shunts to 1, 0.75, 1, 0.75.
(2): Ads list 30%, however, this is more than likely a very optimistic rating.
(3): 6-SL was optional.
