The fall of 1986 brings a Roco-made Alco S-2 switcher
to the Atlas HO-scale diesel roster. The initial roadnames included Baltimore & Ohio, Rio Grande, New York Central,
Pennsylvania Railroad, Seaboard Air Line, Union Pacific, plus an undecorated example. You'll find a review of the
Atlas Alco S-2 in the Trade Topics section of the November 1986 issue of Model Railroader magazine.
The S-2 marked the first all-new model to come from Roco in Austria for
the Atlas line, since the group of 1970s releases. The S-2 followed a string of Alco releases under the Atlas banner
that began with the RS-3 and included the RSD-4/5, RS-11, and Century 424 and Century 425 diesels. Though these other
Alcos were built by Kato in Japan for Atlas in the 1980s.
