Alco S

Hello Jack,

This is not a locomotive I normally follow, but I just checked and see that Allegheny Scale Models has a Custom Brass S-1 listed for sale painted for the Reading RR. His website is www.alleghenyscale.com.

Allegheny is a very reputable firm.  I have had several transactions with them with satisfactory results.

What are the different models of S-1 / S-2 built for O scale please?

I think there were 3 groups of imports over the years.    The first was by NJ Custom Brass - they did the S1, S2, S3, and S4 for sure.

I think Overland Models (Green Box?) imported at least some of the models if not the whole series.   I have seen OMI S4s for example.

The last group of imports that I remember was "The CarWorks".    They also did all 4 models I think.    I have seen Carworks models with both Blunt and ARA trucks.    Carworks also import Baldwin switchers and FM Roadswitchers.

There is a website http://www.brasstrains.com/brassguide that might list most of the models.   this site catalogues models as they get information, so it is not necessarily complete.    I think they also buy and sell models.

Thank you prrjim for the informations.

So 3 builders in brass.

What about the "plastic" models? Somebody knows please?

I've seen a Lionel S-2 photo but is this body matches the good dimensions for O scale please?

If "YES", the body and the Blunt bogie frames can be a good base to make my model.

But it's just an idea...
