Hello Hommie.... I haven,t had a lot of experience with the Alcos, but I have heard a lot of both sides of the stories. I think that the old research and developement divisions did not do their homework very well. I have had the opertunity to be around a few RS-11,s that pulled their weight on a short line very well. I also experienced them pulling much better than the EMD,s, and yes, I do miss them. I also am enjoying learing to work on a couple of them at a museum, (MRS-1's). I have a good mentor, and I love getting dirty and trying to get things working that a few years of neglect have wrought on them. My friend has worked on Alcos before, and he gives me a chance to think and try to figure it out. But back to the original subject, I think the new group will take their time and do it right the first time. I don,t think that in todays market, there will be any chance in you know where to have a chance if they don't!!
