Can anyone help me find a couple of models??? I’m looking for a UP ALCo C-855 and an SP ALCo RSD-15. I’ve been looking all over and can’t seem to find any. HELP !!![}:)]
THERE WERE brass RSD -15’s aka DL-600’s made by:
KMT -Kumata (sold under ALCO label)
Samhongsa (Sold under Overland? label).
Neither came painted, although I believe one of the KMT’s had the SP type headlights on a high hood version.
The KMT products had high gearing and 1 amp square motors.
The Samhongsa made products were much superior runners
Hey Marty,
Check with Howard Zane at www.brasstrains.com. He will tell you who made them, how many, and when. If he comes across any, he will drop you an email and let you know.
Thanks Bill . Good web site.
I have a Overland Alco C855 unpainted, a real gem runing wise.
Don’t tease me. I’d really like to have the Overland model. The only one I’ve seen is an ALCO models one and that was about 7 years ago. I called back about a month later and it was gone. Haven’t seen one since.
How much are you willing to spend? I seen a crappy painted one go for over a $1000 on ebay. Mine is unpainted.
The one I saw in L.A. went for $400 so I don’t know
Did you ever get your C855? I was able to find Two on E-bay. Sorry if this seems like teasing but now I need a C855B to go with my C855A’s to complete my trio. I wish they were painted though. Also I am in Iraq right now and am having them sent to my Mother’s house, I won’t be able to see them until 2008!!! [:(]
