For Diesel detailers/ bashers, one this is for sure, the Weaver models are easier to take apart than the WBB models and if you want to model the "long tank" RS3 version, the Weaver models fuel tank is easier to cut while preserving the interior tank speaker mounts for sound.

Wondering if you could make a photo of the trucks for both locos with the bottom of each against one another so we can see the length of the trucks.  Locos on their sides and trucks almost touching one another.  Close up,  just showing one truck sideframe on each loco.  Guess what I am wondering is WBB using the same funky truck they use on the Alco FA and the Sharknose.  The wheelbase of those trucks is too short.  Hope they are not using them on the RS3. The Weaver sideframes on both of their RS3s, chain drive and vertical drive, are quite accurate.  J
