NY Central Class 3TA electric locomotives

Third Rail did one. Not sure if it's the same revision number, but I posted a pic of one I bought at an Allentown show back in 2014.

1. Has any manufacturer offered a three rail scale NY Central Class3TA electric locomotive and if so whom and when. ?

Change your title to better reflect what you’re looking for, …..it should read T3a not 3TA, ……the T is first, .

Yes.  Myself and a few other long ago posters spent a lot of time working with Scott to get that one right.  It is a brass engine that at the time went for $700 I recall.  It is really a beautiful effort and if you ever get the chance to purchase one on the used market you won't regret it.

Thanks for the information I will put one on my wish list but I may need to get a bigger wallet

T was not for tunnel.  On the NYC, we used "tunnel motor" for the engines used in the Detroit river Tunnel.

NYC assigned classes sequentially to wheel arrangements.  T class engines just happened to be built after the R class.  T-3's were used in general passenger service on the electric division.
