Brand new pics of Atlas S2 on FB

These are just appetizers before the HH660's

I am excited about this release...of course, I'll find a way to rationalize two of them in ATSF zebra stripes! (switching LAUPT or Barstow perhaps?)...I'm quite happy with the Atlas VO-1000s and the FM's as well.....I can't see any reason I wouldn't be just as happy with these MUCH desired units!
Respectfully,

I found pictures of these in CP rail still in use.  Does anyone know of industrial users in Canada for these?  Paper mills, etc?  Trying to find a reason to buy one!

It looks like the stack pipe is beveled or chamfered on the bottom which doesn't make a flush fit to the cast hood.  It that just the photos or in the design?

Heh, me, too, Bruce.  I am very willing to accept an S2 anachronism on my 1980s-based Seaboard System layout in Seaboard Coast Line (SCL) or possibly even Seaboard Air Line (SAL) or Atlantic Coast Line (ACL).

In other words, this will do nicely: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=464928

I guess I need to extend my layout to San Francisco:

Seperate plastic pieces, eh?
Might make it easier to do a S-1 then I thought!

Alos, MEC & GTW (Battle Creek blue please)!

The base of the exhaust stack is molded with hood - or are you talking about where the plastic piece fits into the base of the hood?  As these are test shots, there are a few fit issues to be resolved.

Paul,

Do you know if the trucks will fit under the Atlas RS3 mechanism? It would be cool to have some Milwaukee RS-3's with blunt trucks!

[Atlas Paul]

I don't believe they will, but we don't have enough pieces to really play with yet.

[Cajonpassfan]

That's where the speaker goes.

Paul, speaker? Did you say SPEAKER? As in SOUND??? Excellent!
Can't believe nobody picked up on it... So do you mean room for a speaker or do you actually plan to bring it out with sound?
Otto, excited in Cucamonga
