Reply to "New Projects From Atlas"

You understand MTH, Lionel, Menards etc are not "O" scale mfgs/importers, only Atlas and Weaver started their O guage lines as scale "O" with necessary modifications  for producing a 3 rail product also.  When Atlas introduced the Trainman line it was with the purpose of making a more affordable, rugged entry level product, the RS series introduced in 2005 was their first motive power model in this line and it was obvious that the builder made changes in the model to probably meet the price point Atlas was looking for. In a 2006 Model Railroad News report on the new model it mentions the 3/4 " longer frame [ to allow truck swing on the RS4 for 3 rail] but does not note the extra high long and short hoods [vert mount mtrs]. just saying1
