Peter Vanvliet's Construction Steps and Photos

Notes:

The Alco RS-1 kit consists of finely-detailed pewter (soft-metal) castings, including truck sideframes, plus investment-cast brass detail parts and assorted wire. North Yard makes a drive for this locomotive (available from Railmaster).

Dick Karnes' model is powered by an American Models RS-3 chassis with SouthWind/BTS brass truck sideframes. He installed Microscale decals, MV lenses. and Kadee's S-scale couplers.

Peter Vanvliet's model shows a battery box in front of the cab, which was a scratchbuilt add-on detail to make the model PRR-specific.

The engine has SMD LEDs installed in the front and rear light, as well as one in the cab (mounted to the underside of the roof). The model is powered by the S-CAB DCC battery system.

The model built, before painting. Anything not pewter was scratchbuilt and added to the model by Peter, such as the stanchions, lift rings, battery box, and grab irons.
