Hello,
I'm new to this forum and I have a question that I hope someone out here can help with. I'm planning to build a few ATSF ALCO RSD 5's by grafting a Stewart RS 3 Phase 2 car body onto an Atlas RSD 4/5 frame and drive. I have most of the detail parts to do this except for one. The Dynamic Brake detail on the short hood is what I'm missing. The part is very different from the traditional RS 3/ RSD 4/5 dynamic brake. It has two rectangular vents with what appears to be a flapper cover over them and is protected by a pair of flat iron grabs. The intakes are a pair of square louvers in the sides of the short hood and the number boards of the short hood are pushed back about a third of the way back towards the cab. The battery boxes also extend out to the end of the short hood. For several years, I've been waiting for Tiger Valley to produce this part, but it appears he's just not going to do it. Is there any other source I can try to see if I can get this part made? Thanks. Regards,
John V. Pasquariello
