Alco S2 w/Sound & DCC - Master(R) Gold -- Seaboard Coast Line #42 (black, yellow)

This detailed Atlas HO Scale Master Gold Alco S2 is modeled after switchers built by the American Locomotive Company (Alco). Introduced in 1940 to replace Alco's earlier high-hood switchers, over 1,500 locomotives were produced through 1950. This long-lived line of locomotives used turbocharged 539-series prime movers. The 1000 horsepower S2 was a turbocharged version of the S1. There were 1,502 S2s sold to North American Railroads. The versatility of the S2s was evidenced by their service on class 1 shortline and industrial railroads. In 2023 this model was retooled to include more accurate body details. This Atlas model features a five-pole, skew-wound motor with dual flywheels, directional LED lighting, Accumate(R) magnetic knuckle couplers, accurate decoration and roadname-appropriate body details. This replica comes equipped with a dual-mode ESU LokSound Select sound and DCC decoder for operation on DCC and DC layouts (with limited sound capabilities on in DC operation). The S2 is
