Atlas HO scale Alco RS-1 diesel locomotive
I feel Atlas could have at least came out with a Rock Island Railroad Alco RS-1 version of this fine locomotive. I would point out that it was at the Request of the Rock Island Railroad that Alco considered building the locomotive in the first place. What a disappointment they could not honor the Rock Island. I hope in the future they would consider building a Rock Island Version. I am a third generation former employee of the Rock Island Railroad and it is the Railroad I model on my HO scale Rock Island Western Division layout. Mark Monroe
