Lionel Legacy NKP RS-11

Very nice looking engine, enjoy it. Thanks for sharing

Great buy! 

I always liked the RS-11. They are really nice because they resemble the GP9 and GP7. 

You definitely got the right road name too. The NKP unit is very very nice and is probably the most handsome of all the road names for this model. 

Nice engine, see if you have 18 volts on the track, it needs that to fire the couplers. Fred

Great looking engine. It's on my list - I picked up a Lionel scale NPR baywindow caboose a few years ago, which has been in search of the right engine. Adam, be on the lookout for a scale NPR baywindow to go with your engine (they may have made an extended vision caboose version also). They're really sharp - red, white and black, with the big "High Speed Service" logo written across the top sides of the car.

Great loco, I have the Pennsy loco. Okay with the coupler, put a little oil on h joint where it opens.Let the oil get in there. Then hit the fire button and open it with your hand and then close it, repeating it..That will do it!!

Audi.. I have full voltage on the track, i'm using a TPC 300, and the rear coupler does open. 

Breezinup.. Thanks for the tip on the caboose, i'd love to find a scale bay window "High Speed Service" caboose to go with it. 

Cincytrains..  I'll give it a shot with the oil and opening/closing of it.  The thing that seems weird is that it does not buzz or anything, like the coil isnt getting any power.

You may need to take it to a Service Center or send it to Lionel for repairs.

I have this locomotive too.  I only run conventional so I can't help with the coupler. Hopefully it will be an easy fix and you enjoy your RS-11.

When these were cataloged, I had to have the NKP version...I chose #859.  Such a sharp paint scheme for the RS-11.  A Lehigh Valley dummy unit also found it's way to me.

Keith-

I had actually watched your videos with the RS-11 on youtube before deciding to get this loco. Glad you posted it. 

Also will give Lionel a call about the coupler on Monday, i'm not to concerned about it though.

I have one of these cabooses NIB I'd be willing to sell if you are interested. My e-mail is in my profile, in the "extended profile" thing. (that I didn't know existed until 5 minutes ago )
