Hmm, which RS is it and does it have sound, smoke, and is it compartía le with TMCC?
There's an Atlas O RS 1 or 3 version with TMCC, sound and smoke, however, not in Amtrak livery. I have this one with a custom paint job in Washington Terminal Co. #63, the switching RR that served Union Station in DC in pre - Amtrak days.
That's very interesting since the Washington terminal rs1s where all taken into Amtrak so that would be cool in a patch. Hmm, is there a black PRR, NYC, or Pc paint scheme?"
Don't know about the paint scheme in the roads you inquired about, however, I am now remembering that Atlas O actually released RS 1's in Washington Terminal Co. livery ( back around 2005 - 6 ? ) And yes WTC RS 1s were painted in Amtrak livery several years after Amtrak's takeover. I used to see the WTC RS 1's all the time during the early 1980s, at the Ivy City engine facility which parallels New York Ave in Washington. I used this route to get to work in and out of DC almost daily.
Interesting, very interesting. Yeah and if I'm correct wasn't one of the Alcos sent to BR&W after its service on Amtrak? Where it served for a few years until it was replaced with Ex ATSF CP7s.
I don't know where the RS1's went after they left Amtrak's Ivy City facility. Toward the end of their time with Amtrak, I recall seeing them parked way north on a siding within the facility. I do remember when the CP7s arrived. I believe they were ex Santa Fe units. They of course were repainted to Amtrak colors. Once Amtrak changed all of the WTC locomotives to Amtrak color scheme, one end cab switcher was left in the WTC livery. I think the idea was to pay tribute to the Washington Terminal Co. and their employees who actually switched/serviced Union Station and surrounding industry such as the U.S. Government Printing Office since the beginning of Union Station. WTC was actually formed by and jointly owned by the B&O and the Pennsylvania Railroad companies.
