TOPIC: Bowser seeking input on new RS-3 model

Bowser seeking input on new RS-3 model 8 years 2 months ago #5082

Robin OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 173 Thank you received: 47	It's a shame about the RS3, but I do see that Bowser is coming out with a Reading Executive Line AS-16. In the artist's rendering it looks like the end handrails and under frame will be correct for RDG's first order. The headlight on the short hood is low, however. I wonder if that issue will be addressed before the model enters production.

Robin...based on the art work I pre-ordered both units.I really wish they would offer the dynamic brake equipped version of the AS16.

Bill... after the success of their C430 I e-mailed them about the possibility of a future C424 and received the same answer...Atlas offers that model.That's fine if the Atlas C424 phI was correct.Maybe in the future Atlas would make the correct changes but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

I do like the alternate history paint schemes that companies are doing.With that said,we will probably see a C415 painted in RDG colors before a RDG phI rs from Bowser.
