Detailed RS-11 engines for NE roadnames?

In O Gauge, NONE at this time. In O scale brass [ if you can find them].

Otherwise the shells from Lionel, MTH Railking, and Weaver models are overall well detailed.

These two are very nice. Not exactly what you are looking for but....

Both are RS-11 , Lionel w/Legacy

The New Haven is from a set.

Thanks! THe D&H is lovely but I currently am a D&H modeler so I wanted to "expand" a bit when I switched to O scale.

Is it correct to say that Lionel's scale engines have separate grab irons and MTH's scale engines do not?

If the MTH is a railking, then yes. You can also say that to a Weaver models RS11 as well.

Generally speaking...MTH Premier engines will have separately-applied (not molded or cast-in) grab irons.

Some RailKing scale locomotives also have these features...the ALCO RS1 and the SW1 switcher come to mind.  IMO, they are Premier-like engines at RailKing prices.

Weaver Alco RS12.   

Hi, and welcome to O!

Sounds like you're an Alco lover, and you're probably going to want look for...

• Lionel TMCC & Legacy RS-11s
• K-line / Williams RS-3s (Same molds; K-Line has TMCC, Williams do not have command)
• Most of the MTH Premier RS-11s (early ones have cast on grab irons)
• MTH Railking RS-1s (Not their RS-3s)
• Atlas Master RS-1s & Trainman RS-3s

Most of these have been done in some NE roads, including Lionel & MTH Premier NYC RS-11s (Albeit in lightning stripes), Atlas NYC, Rutland, Green Mountain, VMR and New Haven RS-1s, Atlas New Haven and B&M RS-3s, Williams CN RS-3s or a K-Line New Haven RS-3.

I hope this helps... YouTube has a lot of videos on the above if you want to hear sounds.  Here are my K-line NYC RS-3 and Lionel TMCC RS-11s...

Thanks, and good luck.
