sweet! I have always liked RSD1's....common early prototype that is missing in all scales....now that one looks like an ALCO built one...(EMD built them too)

MRS-1 sound right.  I've seen lots of photos of the PRR using them in the 50s with U.S. Army markings.  Would be great if someone did one of the versions.

That reminds me of the story of the two rescued at the Hanford Nuclear Energy facility in Eastern Washington.

Cool bit of history.
