Talked with my friends at Atlas O today and they are completing re-engineering of the RSD-7/15 Locomotives. Specifically they changed:
- The body casting so operating diesel exhaust has been added to the 3-Rail TMCC version
- The 3 rail TMCC version now has cruuise control
- The 2 Rail version has a new motherboard that allows for easy drop in of an ESU Decoder
- The underside of each truck now has a hidden lube port to facilitate lubricating the wormgear without disassembly of the engine
They are just now authorizing production, so if you're interested in one of these beauties, I can take some additional orders for another week. I am expecting, though Atlas didn't say, to not see these until summer.
I know the RS-3's are the next engine to arrive - we will see these in March.
You can still order one on my site - just search for RSD and they all come up. Both 2 Rail and 3 rail versions are listed there.
Thanks.
