HRC Acquires Long Island Railroad Alco

As a result of a blowout sale by my LHS the Hoschton Railway Company was able to take delivery of a brand new MTH Long Island Railroad Alco w/DCS.

The LIRR is an HRC favorite and this Alco will be a welcome addition to the HRC Fleet.  The sounds are fantastic and the smoke unit robust.  It is a good puller with some nice details.

Here she is on her maiden revenue generating run.

I am so impressed with not only the engine, but the entire LIRR train you have assembled, it made me think of my younger days living on Long Island. Thank you for the great memories!

Sweet looking RS-1. She smokes like a real ALCO! Great looking engine and train. Reminded me of the Atlantic Ave viaduct.
