The First Heritage Unit
#1
Back in 1999 Atlas released this special addition RS3 #1949 to celebrate it's 50th anniversary.This may have been the first "Heritage Unit" produced long before other railroads followed the trend

Norfolk Southern painted GP60 No. 4610 for the Southern Railway in the early 1990s.

Until Atlas brought out their line of RS units with the Kato drive, Athearn locomotives were probably the best bang for the buck. I had a few that I put a lot of work into and ended up having to replace the motors with NWSL can motors to get really good performance out of them.

When I saw the RS units and being a fan of Alcos, I thought I would give one a try. I was so impressed with then, I ended up with a dozen of them, RS-1's, RS-3's, RSD-4/5's and RS-11's and custom painted them all for my freelance railroad. They are still running like new today. Here are some of them.
