Own a PRSL powered and unpowered RDC-1 pair from 3rd Rail. Gorgeous pieces! (as Marty has shown above). The low profile power truck motors have been smooth and dependable. A distinct virtue of the motor arrangment used in the 3rd Rail scale versions is that one has a proper flat floor throughout the length of the units permitting a full length interior without any obstructions which strongly contributes to the overall appearance of the model (A similar arrangement is used in the 3rd Rail Electroliners and the twin motors have been fine for me in my Red Arrow version).

If one is searching of the 3rd Rail RDC's in the secondary market, be aware that the satin coating on the nickel plating can be a bit touchy. Other than that one caution, the 3rd Rails make everything else look like silver painted lunch boxes.
