Yes, the SHABBONA RS-1's use Beveridge drives. They are some of the smoothest, quiet performing locomotives I have! Don is right, though, the AM drives would probably be a better choice today.
SHABBONA's FA/FB-2 set also uses Beveridge drives. However, while smooth, they are not nearly as quiet, but I have never figured out why. On the other hand, SW-1 #22 also uses a Beveridge drive, and it is also a smooth, quiet locomotive.
