Thank you for doing all these videos about Alco's of any kind. I grew up watching the RS-1, RS-2, & RS-3's and other Alco's on the LS&I move iron ore from the local mines where I lived. Brings back many old great 🙂memories.
Runs as smooth as I expect a Kato to run despite the nasty wheels. A little clean and it should be "good as new". I use the exact same brown Bachmann vintage power pack on my workbench as well. Mine doesn't buzz but I have noticed that the power delivery isn't very linear. It's very steppy. But it works out well for my purposes and I love using vintage gear when it's not a huge inconvenience to do so. lol. Nice little RS2 there, Peter! Thanks for the video!
