Very nice Ray, looks real good.
As for AlCo's ,I have a similar weakness, and just obtained an old Atlas S4, which is 'now' in the paint strip bath ready for a new paint scheme.

My biggest Alco weakness is the RS-1..What's not to like about those sweet engines..
Looking at the plan a RS-1 would be my first choice say around 1960.
Why 1960?
I like the automobiles and pickups from 1954-1960.

Are you gooing to put any workers in that busy little yard? Seems like there should at least be a yard man handling the ground work for the loco.

That became a very good ISL. I love the weathering and rust you added lately.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
