This N scale model is a great little runner and it's priced well under $200, even with DCC installed!
From the Atlas Website:
After a successful first run of road switchers (The RS-1), Alco’s second attempt at a versatile four-axle locomotive came in late 1946. This was the stylized RS-2, keeping similar features as the RS-1 (Long carbody and short front nose), but with many upgrades. The most notable features were the rounded carbody and a new 244 prime mover, which increased the horsepower to 1,500, a 500hp upgrade over the RS-1. With the added horsepower, the RS-2 was received well by railroads for its ability to tackle any service it was given.

I have an older Atlas RS1 ( I imagine the chassis is the same). It's a great little runner. I need to install a decoder in it someday.
Union Pacific and other railroads ran long hood forward because it was more familiar to engineers and was safer in a collision
UP bought 5 RS-2
1191 Feb-1947
1192, 1193, 1194 Feb-1948
1195 Jan-1949
In Oct-1955 they were renumbered 1291 to 1295
Re numberboards seems they had them once renumbered and only on the motor's front end.
Most Alco diesels of the 40s-50s motor end was the front-end of the locomotive.
At 3:10 discovered the bell above the front light, would be nice to paint it brass.
There I was searching for the pole holes, would've been tiny dents in the stairframes. Was a habit from steam era to move cars on a different track using a pole from the engine/tender-diesel loco to the car.
Thanks for the review John 👍🏻🤙🏻👏🏻

I'm of the opinion that not every locomotive on the layout needs sound. Too much sound gets a bit overwhelming. When I pair locomotives up, I try and do one sound and the rest non-sound. And as you mentioned, non-sound is quite a bit cheaper!
Those look cool but im waiting on their RS-3 with sound. They announced it a long while back. 😡
Interesting they didnt add sound. But still a good looking model. Bit too old for my era or Id probably snag a few.
They have so many nice liveries, why are you always getting those West Coast Railroads, LOL.
It happens!
Atlas missed one significant detail on this otherwise nice model: They forgot the numberboards!
Great catch!
The real up units did not have them either, it is likely by design
Do more H0 not N
