I think PSC makes some in both brass and plastic. Not sure of the prices but I'd imagine the plastic models would be a little cheaper.
Yes, PSC did (does?) offer brass dual headlight castings for ALCo RS-series locomotives. As shown in the photos below, the PSC item # is 56179. I purchased mine in January from P&D Hobby Shop for $4.50 per 2-pack.
These P&D pieces can also be used to add the twin sealed beam headlights to a Williams Niagara. They are not quite the same, but a little judicious filing for a smoother face (or a little judicious ignoring) makes them serve the purpose.
On the MTH RSD (I have a dummy WM RSD, "scheduled" for a re-lettering, whenever), however - I had forgotten that MTH blew it on the contour of the hood ends on this shell - used for the RS-3, also - they are much too flat. It bugs me, as does like the Premier MTH NYC Hudson smoke box front door (just the door) - wrong contour there, too. I still like the RSD, but that incorrect shape error is surprising. Their RS-1 is fine.
