Notes:

(editor's note: the model is close to an Alco S-series engine, but it is not an exact match to either an S-1, S-2, S-3, or S-4.) The Robert L Miller Laboratory powered trucks were recommended for this model, and were available separately from Super Scale. The Super Scale body does not match the Miller's S-4 body.
