These two engines are among my current
favorites. The RS-3 is a well detailed and fine running engine.
The Atlantic is another story. It has been a "project engine" as
I have really torn into it. Its had its motor remounted, 3 lbs of
lead added, its power pickups replaced, the driver axles shimmed
and the pilot truck wheels replaced (Dean Lowe). Marker and cab
lights have been installed and the cab is detailed. It now has a
train crew as well. There is a P&H sound system in the tender
which also has Dean Lowe metal wheels and power pickups. An Aristo
ART-5474 in the tender controls the sound system. Kadee couplers
are installed fore and aft. The engine has been repainted and
relettered. All it needs now is some weathering.
After all this work, its now a fine running and reliable engine.
