While I’m a huge fan of the RS-1, both Atlas and MTH have done these multiple times too. The MTH version is a RailKing model but is scale sized, and very well done for the price point with great ALCo 539T prime mover sounds.
The MTH model even has the correct handrail designs. While I’ve never seen an Atlas version first hand, from the pictures I’ve seen, they look extremely well detailed.
P.S. Both MTH and Lionel have done a high-hood RS-11. Missing of course are high-hood versions of the ALCo Century series locomotives, but I’m wondering maybe you were talking about the early HH600/900/1000 units.

I was referring the early Alco high-hoods - specifically Boston & Albany and New Haven HH600s.

The MTH RS-1s are very nice but haven't been offered lately in New York Central, New Haven or Rutland versions.

Atlas O hasn't done an RS-1 since 2005. It's about time for a rerun. Here are two views of an Atlas O New Haven RS-1 from 2004.
