The ALW 78 Ton Steeplecab is a series of shells produced by ALW to provide freelance and protolance model railroaders with a well detailed base for modeling built-to-order or shop-built electric locomotives that are so common on interurban electric railroads. The 78-Ton is an excellent interpretation of a medium-to-large interurban freight locomotive similar to Baldwin Westinghouse Class Bs or GE steeplecabs at or above 50 tons. Despite being freelance, the model is designed to mimic the design behaviors & characteristics of real manufactures like GE, Baldwin, McGuire-Cummings and others, allowing it to blend in with prototype models.
 
The ALW 78 Tonner is the first ALW kit designed to fit multiple chassis with the use of sub-frames, making it easier to assemble and eliminates the risk of resin mounting points breaking or failing later.
