Jake, didn't you send me pics of the internal grid RS3 DBs? (those roof top BN shots) www.pbase.com/espeef5/rs3_dynamic_brakesI think Bob is referring to the 'external' grid version using the Eric parts. RS3s had the two different styles. The internal version (late version?) just had ducts with lids on the roof, similar to the ducts on the roof of a C630, and were usually protected by railings over top...shown in the BN pics. The ones Bob is referring to looked like the grille slats of a 39 dodge pickup on the roof. Mark R. made a nice rendition... dieseldetailer.proboards.com/thread/13361/bkrr-rs-3 |

lol yup., I remember the pics I sent.... but I;m always trying to find better and more shots of any of these items, especially roof shots, When the units were still in service,, who ever thought to a take a picture of the roof..lol. One of my biggest problems is getting into a project, and then stalling because I cant confirm something, then I move onto something else... the first one being left for years sometimes.. Thanks for the southern pic, great shot, just like your unit!

I had looked and looked for years trying to find a good roof top shot of one of the Interstate RS-3's, but never was able to until someone posted this one on the SOUTHERNmodeler list. My plans are to build a model of the #36 soon, but we all know how plans can be redirected.  |

Hello Bob
Beautiful model. Could you tell me the size of the chain you used on the truck on the engineers side. Also, what is the part name for the cooling coil neer the fuel tank area?
Thanks

Hello Bob Beautiful model. Could you tell me the size of the chain you used on the truck on the engineers side. Also, what is the part name for the cooling coil neer the fuel tank area? Thanks Vlad Vlad, the name for the cooling coil detail part is RS Cooling Coil. This part is made by Custom Finishes By Bob Rzasa and is part # C-152. The chain that you see is made by Detail Assoc., part # DA 2210. If you should choose to build this model or another RS-3 of your choice and you want to include the brake chain, be sure to drill out the chain guide BEFORE you install it under your model to make sure the chain will pass through the guide hole. I installed my guide first and then tried to thread the chain through it after the model was assembled and that action caused me to question myself as to whether I should be building model trains or cutting pulpwood.

Bob,
That's an easy one ... building models!
Thank you so much for sharing your work, and inspiring us to build models!

Very nice loco. Thanks for the pointers on using the Atlas model as the starting point.
Was this on display at the RPM show in Kennesaw, GA this fall?

Edwin, yes, the CG RS-3 was there, but when it left Kennesaw, it went to a new home. I have a very good friend that really wanted the little engine so he and I made a deal and now it's his. I think I'll build an Interstate RS-3 next. Bob |
