burnthebox Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Anyone on here interested in American stuff, Hattons have this pre-owned & runner on analogue, but not o DCC which it's fitted with,Only asking €29.00 !!!! http://www.hattons.co.uk/232467/Model_Power_MP6846_SAS_Alco_RS_2_2060_in_Southern_livery_Pre_owned_DCC_Fitted_sold_as_seen_non_runne/StockDetail.aspx
Mayner Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Its probably better to look out for a used Atlas, Walthers or Bachmann Spectrum loco. The Model Power RS2 is based on quite old tooling, the chassis and running may not be up to current standards. The Model Power RS2 was originally introduced in the 1960s manufactured for AHM and Mehano in Yugoslavia. I used a few of their N gauge locos. Best described as disposable locos, the only advantage was that the models were cheap even when compared to Bachmann and Lifelike. I don't know if running quality improved when Mantua took over production. http://www.ho-scaletrains.net/ahmhoscalelocomotives/id31.html
Warbonnet Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 29 notes is about 25 quid too much for that **** heap sadly. John is correct, you'd get better Kato, Atlas, Proto or athearn for near the same price if you shop around. Hatton's second hand prices take the wee wee a lot of the time.
