NICKEL PLATE ROAD 571, RS-11. THIS ITEM IS AN ATLAS/KATO RS LOCOMOTIVE THAT I CONVERTED FROM AN RS3 TO AN RS-11 IN THE 2 YEARS BEFORE ATLAS RELEASED THE ACTUAL RS 11 MODEL. SO, THIS UNIT STARTED OUT AS AN RS3 AND I CONVERTED IT TO AN RS11 USING THE TOP HALF OF A MODEL POWER RS-11 SHELL AND THE ORIGINAL RS3 SILL AND DRIVE UNIT. I SUPER DETAILED THE RS 11 SHELL ADDING LIGHTING SPECIFIC TO THE NICKEL PLATE ROAD. FLOQUIL ENGINE BLACK PAINT, HERALD KING L-401-1 DECALS, DETAILS ASSOCIATES, DETAILS WEST AND JUNECO SCALE MODELS DETAIL PARTS, AS WELL AS SOME HAND MADE GRAB IRONS I MADE FOR THIS UNIT HAVE BEEN APPLIED. I INSTALLED A UTAH PACIFIC CONSTANT DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING KIT WITH 6 -1.5volt LIGHT BULBS. IT HAS A MARS LIGHT THAT LIGHTS UP BUT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. KADEE #5 COUPLERS ARE INSTALLED. THE NUMBER BOARDS ARE POPULATED AND THE CLASS LIGHTS ARE LIGHTED BY FIBER OPTICS. I INCLUDED A COUPLE OF PHOTOS OF A CHASSIS I AM STILL WORKING ON( AN RSD-12). THE FIRST ONE ILLUSTRATES THE TYPE OF BOARD INSTALLED IN THIS UNIT (SILVER LIGHT BOARD). THE SECOND PHOTO ILLUSTRATES THE POSSIBLITY OF CONVERTING THIS TO DCC (SOUNDTRAXX TSU-PNP). IT'S RELATIVELY EASY. I CALL IT DCC FRIENDLY, DEFINATELY NOT DCC READY. ORIGINAL BOX. WILL BE WELL PACKAGED FOR SAFE SHIPPING.
