There were a couple assigned to Renova sometime during the 60s.   Bunch of them were assigned to NJ about the same time.

Yeah, I see that in the book.  Ebenezer Yard in Buffalo got 17 units total assigned there out of the first two orders in the late 40's.  I'm modelling around 1955-57ish so I guess I can fudge 2 units in Renovo.

Stupid question: is the sound version dual-mode (DC/DCC) like the Athearn Chaallenger/Big Boy? If not, why not? Just askin'...

You will have engine sounds in DC, but no control of other sounds.

Anyone make standard AAR trucks to convert them to an S4?

didn't Bachmann announce the S4 a few months back?

Looks like the sound unit I buy will be getting re-numbered in a heartbeat.
Some Philly and/or South Jersey action is more appropriate for my tastes.

Does anyone know where I might find a list of all the S2s that the PRR had and where they were assigned to?
Just to clarify, I did a giggle search but every site I looked at either had nothing pertinent or was far too confusing.

Ah. I need more of a 1950 assignment list. That way I can choose a road number that was assigned to the Philadelphia area or somewhere in New Jersey. The number i pick will be what my S2 gets re-numbered to.

did all S2s have the split pilot that the PRR had on theirs?

Or

Has anyone seen a pic of the Atlas model that shows the pilot?

And

I'm sure some folks have already considered swapping out the trucks for AAR type to make an S4? Or do I have that wrong?
