I have not purchased a NYC RS3, howevwer I have purchased several Bowser units over the last couple of years and I'm happy with the units.

I am interested in this RS-3 too by Bowser. I am wondering if it is being done in engine black, which is the freight colors NYC used in later versions, or in the passenger scheme which is a medium grey. The picture shows that it has a steam heat boiler with the rooftop tank and boiler exhaust pipe on the short hood.  ~Jim

My understanding that these locomotives are exactly as pictured.  That is super as far as i am concerned as I have a picture of one of them pulling NB passenger train in the 1950s at Haworth, NJ, and that station is on my model railroad.

Looking forward to these, but I'd prefer a 5500 in one of the cigar band schemes. Might get the PC version and reletter it rather than wait for another run.
