Hi fellas:

Just out of curiosity, is anyone planning on buying any of the new Atlas C-420's? I just reserved two: one in Delaware & Hudson and the other in Lehigh Valley "Yellow Jacket". It's one of my favorite loco's but it's also to encourage Atlas to make things like these Also's. I already have one of their new RS-36's in D&H Lightning Bolt.

I didn't get one of the new Atlas C420s, but I do have the RS-36 and it's a fine model.

Did add to my TP&W fleet this week with a new run Atlas Classic RS-11. Here it is with my recently picked up Proto 2000 RS-27 Demo...

Hey Tony:

Iwas thinking of getting an RS-27 in PRR. How do you like the model?

My RS-27 is the standard DC and does feature sound. It runs smoothly and the gearing is nice. I find some of the older Proto 2000 items tend to have gearing that doesn't allow them to play well with others...this RS-27 is not like that and does very well. Detail is excellent and it's a great looking ALCO.
