ALCO Road Switchers Model RS-2 Catalog |
order sheet in preparation |
After World War Two, ALCO recognized the market for a more powerful road switcher than it's 1000 h.p. RS-1. In 1946, the first 1,500 h.p. RS-2 was delivered to the Detroit & Mackinac. Alco went on to build some 366 of these work horses to 46 different North American and foreign roads and private companies between 1948 and 1950.
The Division Point and Ajin Precision will offer the RS-2 in various roads and paint schemes. Since many RS-2s served into the 1970s, later schemes will also be offered. You are well advised to contact your dealer to reserve yours!
This group is the first of multiple groups! Other groups will feature later paint schemes and second- and third-hand owners! Watch for more web pages . . . and watch for updates on this pages.
Click on the DP number for the prototype photo! There will be more photos posted in the days to come.
