Total shot in the dark… I’ve got this odd bug to contemplate “upscaling” either an S-4 or NW-2 to 1:20.3, but being as how it’s a diesel and I’m usually very anti-diesel, the thought of spending actual money on the project doesn’t exactly sit well. However, I’ve got this RDC-3 sitting in the crawlspace that I’d be willing to trade for one. The RDC is test-run only, though I’ve modified the lights to tone them down a bit. (See my GR series on LEDs for the modifications.)
All three seem to be selling for right around the $240 mark, so if you’re interested in the RDC-3 but don’t have an S-4 or NW-2 to trade, I’d be open to trading greenbacks or a three-way trade with a dealer of your choice for the locos. (You pay the dealer for the switcher, they ship to me, I ship the RDC to you.) I’ll cover shipping costs of the RDC-3.
It ain’t like I’m starved for locomotive projects, but I like to keep the mind busy with possibilities. Sure, I could easily just scratchbuild something on top of the RDC-3 trucks, but it’d be a shame to waste the body if someone else can use it.
Later,
