Can I request a C430 next? Or an AS616?
I'll add my request for a RS27... I need something like 5 to 7 of them lol Will probably grab a couple C636 just because, Do you still need pics of the C630 Shell?
I think the RS-27 fuel tank is unique, as well.
Can't vouch for the dimensional accuracy of these drawings but basically it has a longer long hood and shorter nose... They should at least give you an idea of the main door/grill differences (he has both sides of multiple variations on his site)http://trainiax.net/drawings/36-alco/rs/r36-alco-rs-36-dh.GIFhttp://trainiax.net/drawings/55-alco/rs/r55-alco-rs27-prr.GIFPersonally I would like the non DB version... (as would most Soo fans)http://trainiax.net/drawings/55-alco/rs/r55-alco-rs27-nodb.GIF
No, I don't think so... I saw that same one on some RS36s and maybe even an RS11... maybe not. ...
Looks good... what about magazine drawings hat I could get?
Mainline Modeler May 1988 has a drawing of the DL-640 (RS-27).Jason
You know what I'm most excited about?With all this work you're putting into these, it means Atlas will be announcing them this fall.
Cutting Edge Scale Models is producing a model of the Alco C636 in N scale! The models will be sold as fully assembled and painted shells with some extra details that are modeler-applied. Details are subject to change, but we are gauging interest for different roads of this model with the following tentative specifications:The shell will be a quality resin cast shell based on a CLIP 3D print (CLIP is a new technology that uses oxygen to inhibit the cure of some of the resin in DLP 3D printing, resulting in a part with no layer lines at all). The shell will then be detailed with open fan grilles and other prototypical etched metal detail parts - such as snow shields on some BN units. Tru-color paint will be used to decorate the models with the assistance of custom made masks (not masking tape) for complex paint schemes. Logos and text will be applied using pad printing (tampoprinting) so that the models will not exhibit "silvering" under the decals. Sideframes will be included with each model, that have been 3D printed in Shapeways High-Def Acrylate or a similar material then sanded, cleaned and painted. We chose to print the sideframes so that the spring detail is realistic on these very unique sideframes. The models will feature pre-installed laser cut windows and modeler-installed windshield wipers, along with pre-installed fiber optics that will use the pre-existing atlas LEDs to create the headlights.Cost has not been set yet. Because these are largely hand-made, low-run items, the cost of a shell will not be as low as the cost of a shell from Atlas. You can expect a shell to cost around $150, but I would again emphasize that this is subject to change. Undecorated models will cost a little less, but because of the efficiencies of pad printing, not much. We need your help to meed our minimum order quantities - 100 units in total - within one week (June 30). Please help this model come to life! (still, please be reasonable with your road name quantity indication so that we don't overestimate demand) Delivery should be late Summer 2017.
