Atlas Alco RS 3

[NW Modeling List]

Dan -

Would the Atlas version be comparable to the initial three RS-3s that
were purchased in 1955 and operated in the Durham area?  I know the
lettering and numbers are not the correct font for the initial engines
and I understand that there aren't any correct decals available.  Do you
know if there is a physically correct model available for the initial
GP-9s?

Thanks in advance.

Ken McWilliams; Regarding the Atlas RS3, if you contact me off list and
give me an address I will mail you an Atlas Instruction/Parts list sheet
for their RS3. Depending on how finicky you are, this model is an early
model RS3 with louvers on the hood and the earlier exhaust stack. The
N&W's
units had the later hood with the large square filter air intakes and
the
differently mounted exhaust stack. This may or may not be important to
you
but thought I would point it out. Happy railroading. Dan.
