I have a Dominion Atlantic Railway Proto 2000 loco number 6561.Would like to obtain the mate to it numbered 6560.Does anyone know of a place where I might be able to obtain a number 6560 Proto 2000 Dominion Atlantic loco?
Just wanted to bump this thread up in case anyone could help me with my quest.
Are you talking the RDC?

Fergmiester Are you talking the RDC?
Thank-you for the reply,Fergmiester.What I am referring to is the Proto 2000 Dominion Atlantic S3 Locomotive.I have the 6561 but need the 6560.Also have a True Line Dominion Atlantic caboose on its way to myself.
I believe the Dominion Atlantic RDC was a Proto 1000 issue.If I could find one I would not mind having one of those as well.I remember seeing them running as a boy.We always called them," Dayliners".
Yes the Dayliners are Proto 1000. I have four two are fully DCC (one with Sound) and the others are in various stages of being converted to full DCC Sound. I also lit the inside cabin (back half of the car) and it looks very nice with passengers.

Sounds like you have a nice fleet of Dominion Atlantic Dayliners.Do you have a special layout for them?
Where did you purchase the Dominion Atlantic Dayliners at and how long ago?
DAR
I picked them up at Maritime Hobbies and Crafts. Haven't seen any in ages though as I look from time to time. They do have the DAR Cabooses. Realizing the they aren't protoypical.
Justb wanted to bump this up in case someone may be able to help me in finding a Proto 2000 Dominion Atlantic #6560.
I know this is a bit old,but just wanted to see if any one knew where I could find a Proto 2000 Dominion Atlantic 6560 as I am still looking for one.

Thanks for that.I hope so to.Has to be a Proto 2000 Dominion Atlantic 6560 out there some where.:)
Took me quite sometime to find a Lionel 8040 with a Canadian National tender,but just recently I did.:)
Good luck on your continued quest! Can't say I've seen any around so won't be of any help to you.
Interestingly though, in the time since this original thread we've made a huge leap forward in regards to the RDC/dayliners, which were discussed a bit up above. Rapido's upcoming model will be the definitive offering of those models - and they are releasing DAR 9058 and 9059 (with the maroon and yellow stripes) in their first run of Phase 2 RDC-1s, arriving at the end of February. There has never been an even remotely comparable HO RDC model produced, so even if you already have the Proto 1000 DAR RDCs, these would definitely be worth a look as a replacement.

Not to upset you but one sold on e-bay last year, try the international markets as this one sold out of spain.
Have you considered buying a different road's S3, stripping the paint and re-decorating it yourself, or maybe finding someone to do it for you?
It's not a particularly elaborate paint scheme. This decal company has the lettering in stock:

There are no elaborate logos or non-standard fonts, either, so you could even make up your decals.

Thank-you all for the comments.Enjoyable to read.
Cannot say that I have considered having another loco repainted to Dominion Atlantic.Kind of have my mind set on the mate to my Proto 2000 Dominion Atlantic 6561.
Found one on Kijji today,but the picture was poor.Could not make out the loco number.Sent a PM,now waiting for a reply.
Just wondering, if any other company besides Proto 2000 made a Dominion Atlantic S-3?
Interesting that some new Dominion Atlantic Dayliners will be coming to market in February.

Since you already have one, I would think that getting another P2K S3 and replicating the paint job would allow you to get a very good color match. That decal set would be a good investment right now, since it's only $8, and you never know when the seller might go out of business or run out of those decals.
Walthers might be able to tell you what paint or mixture of paints they used for the model, too.
A very interesting idea,but I believe I will hold out until I find the real deal.:)Sooner or later I will find one.Sometimes the hunt can be as good as the finding.:)
Don't know if it's still available...... http://blackberryforums.com/store/P2k-Ho-S3-Switcher-Dominion-Atlantic-6560-dcc-_262685530456.html
Thank-you very much for posting that ,Jerrys HO.Checked it out and it is no longer available.
Had a PM for the person who had an ad for a Dominion Atlantic Proto 2000 on Kijiji.They still had the loco ,but were not sure of the number.Said they would check to see what it was.
Well no word back from the person who had the Dominion Atlantic diesel.I assume it was not the number I needed or that it has been sold.
Seems my quest goes on.:)
