RS1s
You're talking one of my favorites here; but, unfortunately, I don't think I have any pix to share. If I should find something, however, I'll keep this thread in mind. I especially like Spokane International one with the typical Alco smoke.

Speaking of Spokane International, the WP bought two of their RS-1's for the Tidewater Southern. One still exists, land locked on the California North Coast, on what was the old NWP. It is in CCT paint, that has faded into pink now. Last I heard, it was runnable. I hope someone can save it, for a museum.

Chris,
George's web page is sorted by Railroad. To find the shot of that SI RS-1 you have to go the "S" section and look under misc. "S" railroads. There is also a couple shots of an Ann Arbor RR RS-1 that you can find by looking up "Ann Arbor" in the "A" section.
I don't think that George has his page set up so that you can search by engine type/manufacture.

Thanks for the page Dan.
I emailed train world to see if the RS1 is still on sale and for the road types.
I do like them

Chris, the problem was I didn't use Kodak K64 slide film. It was GAF film that deteriorated. I used an inexpensive slide scanner and played with the the scan to get what you see. If I took the scan and used Photoworkshop, it would probably look better. Now to find my B&W shots.

Great pictures. Pierce, the one with all the smoke at the DRM reminds me that I saw that happen on startup when I was there once; and I was told that, on at least one occasion, the neighbors called the Fire Department. You probably inow all about that; but the rest of the folks on The Gauge probably don't.

More RS 1 stuff
I forgot to add, in my last post, that I have a custom painted model of 0673, which I plan to have on display at the Finger Lakes Railfair (on a combined DRM/NHRHTA table) the last weekend in April.
If any Gaugers are going to be around the Central New York area then, stop by and say hello.
