HO S2

Thanks guys!

I own several of the old Atlas S2. I feel you could smash the thing on the wall and get it back running without any serious mechanical issues (well, details are another thing).

So nobody among us saw the new tooling Atlas version in action, it's sound quality and general performance?

@FCIN: You confirm what I read over the net. Sound got to be dead on spot for switching engines IMHO. Do you think the decoder could handle a flashing beacon? My prototype has it and I really would like to duplicate this nice feature. If Bachmann decoder can't take it... it's a little bit less satisfying.

BTW, I just took a look at a few high quality picture of Donohue's switcher. What a strange beast. It is a ex-CP S2 that was reshopped. Among many modifications including the cab, the replaced the long hood fan by a EMD circular fan the kind you find on F-units. Original trucks were also replaced, which means it technically looks like a S4!

Good thing both S2 and S4 have the same guts! ;-)
