Hey Guys, This model was for the same client that ordered WP #3004. Factory painted model modified to match the prototype. Added details include custom roof-mounted Pyle Gyralite (movable), firecracker antenna, Nathan M5 air horn, Pyle conversion plates, custom bell, completely custom made MU-connections front and rear, updated pilot, speed recorder, sunshades, plated over center cab windows and more. Weathered to match prototype photos from the mid-1970's.      Thanks for looking.  |

Great job on the RS. It all blends well together.Put it in a scene and it would look real...(oh and change the couplers too)

Thanks for the nice comments guys! This was an interesting locomotive to model to say the least. I've never been an ALCo fan, but I'll tell you, after doing this one I've really fell for them! |

This rs-1 is excellent, I recently ran across shots of it from 1975 here in Sacramento, Excellent job, now I hope my RS-1 comes out this well.
