are pictures possible?

here is the fun part.
see if you can get any one to tell you how they got
one of those old hudsons to go at 20-25 smph reliably.

that is pretty good. I think your tender is the trick.

I had an Atlas RS-1 that smoked - once - and that was it....  back to the factory.

I think they sent me a whole new unit - as the long hood was melted.

I thought it was cool being an Alco....  oh well.

It's almost all in the motor. The single biggest improvement between early N scale locomotives and later (after 1983's RS-3) is motors.

You take an old Rivarossi and add a new motor and voila.
