RS-1's Tackle the "Widowmaker"

I just finished modifying and putting into service the last two Atlas RS-1's to come out of the Richmond, Danville & Southern maintenance shops. Both were bought ultra cheap because the owners did not like them. This will complete the roster of seven RS-1's assigned to Charleston subdivision on the Richmond, Danville & Southern. Both received new paint, rewiring of the motors, single unmodified Soundtraxx Tsunami and the older lettering and logo styles pre-1946. Being a helper district, the consist of seven units would never happen, but I just wanted to see how the HO and N guys do it. During normal operations, no more then three would be assigned, usually only two, and helpers from Avalon would be called. Avalon sits at the base of the "Widowmaker" and is home to six ex-B&O Q4b's now used exclusively in helper service.

The second camera (hill shots) really needed an auxillary microphone as the sound is muffled, but you get the idea.
