#1818 was not an ALCO locomotive, but a General-Motors EMD one.

This locomotive is preserved in ALASKA into MATI, at Wasilla.

It has now the number #1718 because, in Alaska, locomotives are numbered in series meaning their power.

So, 1700cv gives serie 17**.

Alaska railroad had five MRS1 EMD in their locomotives. They were 1714,1715, 1716, 1717 & 1718.

They had also several MRS-1 ALCO numbered in 1600 serie.

When  was a child, i've seen #1818 running in France.

Belowx, you can see #1818 in the station of my birthday town.

It was on end of october 1953.

As you can see it's different from the EMD MRS-1.

Following the consultation launched by the US Army, two manufacturers have responded.

EMD who built 13 locomotives and ALCO which produced 83.

Here, below, their respective characteristics:

Hi Bernard (Mecaso) ,

if a picture didn't make by yourself, we only need the indication of the source
under the uploaded picture.
This one is the URL to the originally picture into CODE-Tags
(the button with square bracket / angle bracket).

You made great models!

Hello

I'll try to publish a picture of each EMD MRS-1.

They were numbered 1808 to 1820.

Alas, that of 1819 is not found yet, it is sought.

It is the 1815, in its US Navy livery...

It is the 1816 in its US Navy livery...

It is the 1817 in its US Navy livery...

The 1819 picture is missing!

If anyone.......

The corresponding numbers of MRS-1 EMD locomotives....
