I have one complaint about the detail on the GGD RDCs.  Scott forgot to include the exhaust stacks in the roof top blister.  Instead there are just these blank panels where the stacks go.

 

Perhaps Scott would do the Phase 2 version of the RDC?  This way he could do the railroads he didn't do on the first run.

Searching through "Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines" by John P. Stroup (Morning Sun Books) there are numerous color photos of RDC-1's in which the roof top blisters appear to be as modeled on the 3rd Rail Brass (not GGD) model. The only error one can note is that Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines does not extend as far along the car body on the model as on the prototypes. Perhaps you can further clarify your observation?
 
Thanks in advance.

 My friend has a New Haven unit, and on the top of blister where the exhaust stacks should be (between the front and rear radiators) are just these two blank panels.

Hello Marty, did Mike Wolf say he was not going to make scale RDC cars? Very curious about that, if he is not that would be disappointing.

Ah, OK. Thanks, Stuart.

I just dug out of a box a clear plastic molding of an RDC-1, with an included metal

frame.  I used to see these occasionally and thought I would find another, splice

them, and get my scale length RDC-3. Haven't seen others lately, but notice this

has no stacks but two round radiator grilles on the dome in the casting.  The windows are not punched out, it is all one piece clear plastic, and I think this is an AMT/KMT molding?

Somebody on here was interested in AMTRAK.  In some box, I didn't find, I have a pair

of AMT/KMT F units that someone had had, looks professional, repainted for AMTRAK.

I am staying steam only, so I have no use for these F units. (nor for the RDC-3, except it has been a challenge to get)
