The St. Louis–San Francisco Railway sent 5 of their aging Alco RS2’s to EMD for rebuild in late 1959 and early 1960. These locomotives were rebuilt similar to other EMD RS rebuilds where the long hood was replaced with a GP9 long hood. In this case, the RS2’s received a GP9 Phase 3 Long hood (replaced 2 36″ domed fans with a single 48″ domed fan). Frisco’s RS2M’s were returned and numbered 550-554.
CMR Products offers the Frisco RS2M Locomotive shell that will fit on an Atlas RS3. CMR also offers other N Scale Alco rebuilds including MKT RS3M, Rock Island RS2M and Rock Island RS3m. HO Variants are also available through Big Dawg Originals and on our site.
At this time, we are no longer manufacturing new resin casts of this shell. We are transitioning our Resin casting operation to 3d designed Masters and printed shells.
You can find our New offerings in N Scale Here, along with any remaining new old stock.
