Produced brass shells for the Atlas/Riv C-Liner, 0-4-0, 0-8-0 and 4-6-2 models, along with Arnold's 0-6-0. Trivia - Back in the 1970s, a Detroit-area company called "Flint Models" And apparently it was suchĪ crummy model that not even the trash collectors over at AHM/PMI/Model Power were interested in rescuing it from the scrap heap. This locomotive dropped off the face of the earth circa 1977 (when Atlas severed their relationship with Rivarossi). The ones actually put together by Rivarossi are stamped "Atlas Made in Italy by RR". Some of the early Atlas C-Liners were assembled in Yugoslavia by Mehano (using Rivarossi parts).

(Thanks for the pictures,ĭummy (non-motored) versions were also available: I have the (presumed) later version with the additional springy contacts, and trust me, it still sucks. Sprung contacts added to the pick-up truck, along with a smaller headlight bulb. One (presumably later on) had a couple of Yeah, it can make it around my layout without tripping over itself, so no "D" or "F" here.īut honestly, it's a pretty crappy locomotive.Īpparently there were a couple of slightly different versions of this mechanism.

The motor is a cheap 3-pole job mounted vertically over the powered truck (a mounting scheme that made it particularly susceptible to Pickup comes solely from the rear truck, while propulsion is limited to the forward Or,įrankly, this is a pretty terrible locomotive. Although, truth be told, apartįrom Kato's PA, I guess back then there wasn't much good news in the diesel department coming from anybody else either. Here's another reason (along with their E8) why Rivarossi should've stuck with steam locomotives back in the early days of N scale.
