And the old and true Arnold Alco S2 but,still the cry was for a Alco switcher that is up to today's "standards".
N Scale still lacks modern switchers like the SW1500,SW1000 and Genset.

Actually I had one of those Arnold's, may still be around here somewhere. The thing sounded like a meat grinder and wouldn't run any slower than a scale 65 mph.
