When Atlas first released the ALCO RS3 models, several followed me home. All, except one, were done in the "as delivered" green, while one received the second generation era green. As I had only side photos of the repainted 449, the roof numbers were an unknown. As the model is weathered for the Joanna ore service, the roof number will not be added. Should a photo appear showing these numbers, there will be an extra shot of oxidized ore dust weathering that would obscure the non-existent numbers. <G> Very nice modeling fellows -- so there are now at least two HO models with cab roof numbers and one without.

Did they have an undecorated with Lok Sound or just undecorated without sound? I was on the website but sometimes it is difficult to navigate the Walthers website.
