If they do it in N&W, or Nickel Plate, or give us some unDec's in the first run. I'll be in for a pair, at least.

Perfect timing now that I'm slimming down to a switching layout!
WM speedlettering, please.  I'm especially excited about the directional lighting.  The old Arnolds just don't cut it.

Oh, man!  This is fantastic news for N scalers.

Check this out for a list of roads that owned S-2s and their rosters: http://www.thedieselshop.us/Alco_S2.HTML.  I'd be interested in RF&P, ACL, and/or SAL.

P.S.  Hopefully, the success of this model will lead Atlas to produce the long-sought SW1500.

Paul, I don't think there are enough bytes for that. Between the S2 and the 40' PS1 project. The release's could be like the energizer bunny on and on and onn..........

Oh yeah and thanks for the Illinois Grain Thrall 4750's!!
