Hi Jeff
There is also the RS-18 version that has the dynamic brakes in the short hood.  CN had a lot of these and maybe others.  DWP/CV RS-11s had the same set up.
Cheers

I would be interested in MLW RS-10 hoods for the PGE/BCR units to match the level of your latest RS-3 and RS-18 hoods.  I believe that it is one of the last remaining BCR locomotives for you to tackle.  The latest iteration of the Atlas RS-11 provides a suitable DCC-friendly mechanism.

I am not sure of the status of the suggestion for the MLW M-630W but I would definitely love to have one of those too.

The other item high on my wish list would be an updated kit for the BCR wide vision cabooses, with one piece body, one piece cupola, and etched parts for the handrails, etc.

I am also looking forward to the PGE plywood cabooses for work service, the HSC welded gondolas, and the NSC flat cars when they are ready.

All of those are on my website and ready for ordering. Drop me an email and I can get what you need ready. Also I can easily print a special RS3 body for you with the details you specifically want.

Some finished models would be nice to see, and might also help with sales too! :trollface: :P

They will come as I find the time to complete them. If any rraser has one of my models they have finished and have photos, I have discount codes for your next purchase. One coupon per customer. :)

How about an SP repeated air car, SP brake sled, or ATSF dynamometer car?

I'd like to see some long hood SD38AC/SD38/SD38-2 shells to replace Kato SD40/40-2 hoods. To replace the shell that were made by Mark4 Designs.  Really miss those shells!

I would love to see BCR or CPR GMD SD40-2 to fit the Kato chassis.

Having now seen the the Intermountain version, that is an excellent suggestion.  Modellers are faced with either having to shorten the nose on a Kato snoot or lengthening the nose on the Intermountain to get to 102".  There are other modifications such as steps and grills which make an accurate replacement shell worth doing.  Outside my era but definitely a viable suggestion in my opinion.

It would fit the Atlas SD60M.  The only differences I am aware of between the SD60M and SD60I is that the SD60I's nose door is on the opposite side of the SD60M and addition of the rubber nose seam.

Actually, there's an annoying and less obvious difference too. Similar to the nose seal, there is also one on the hood behind the cab.

You can see it here, just ahead of the dynamic brake compartment:

It's missing on the regular SD60M:

I agree with Tim and it's right for my era.  A BCR correct SD40-2 shell for the Kato chassis would be most welcome.  Please consider doing one of these.
