Hey! Coupla things caught my eye--an RS3 and 40' gons! Cool!

Ya know--it was the weirdest thing. A couple of nights ago I had a dream about an RS colored for my railroad--black with a white cab and nose hood. White lettering and a black number on the side of the cab. I did a preliminary search for a Atlas RS and found several that might work, but that RS 3 looks more like my dream vision.

And shucks--we ain't had a decent 40' gon for years. I think the only one I ever found was an AHM model from 30-40 years ago. Everything else has been Athearn 50 footers. That'll be nice for my road--maybe just a couple-2 or 3.

Anybody else have an opinion about the new stuff?
