I believe Samhongsa did these as N Scale versions of the Bowser VO-1000 as a speculative project that was offered to Atlas without their design input. The Korean designers stretched the height of the hood and the cab to fit in the light board (which was actually not necessary).
I haven’t pulled out the correct height Samhongsa Hallmark brass VO-1000 to compare to a RS, but ithe Atlas’s version is taller than the prototype...

Charlie is of of course correct. My UP Baldwin VO-1000 diagrams show the cab roof at exactly 14'. The model scales at about 14'-9". Too bad, but I think I can can live with that because they are arguably the finest performing switchers available.
