Name: Dave Condon
Railroad Name: Northern Pacific, RS-1 Engine #803
Location: Kirkland, WA
Scale: O Scale
Theme: North Idaho Division
Description: This is an example of a refurbished Atlas 0 RS-1. Basically the engine was non-functional. It stalled on Atlas O 0-54 switches. It barely had a speed control and the sound board was generic. Two additional center rollers were added to correct the stalling issue. An ELECTRIC RAILROAD speed control package was added giving the throttle 100 speed steps. An ELECTRIC RAILROAD sound package was added giving a good ALCO RS-1 prototype sound. The engine operates BEST in CAB-1 mode. Was it expensive? YES. ….. but not even half the price of a new engine and considering there is little to nothing in the way of NP engines, it was a bargain. (Anyway, that’s what I told my wife!) ENJOY!
