Saw a decent one at a train show....no box and no manufacture ID on bottom.......looked around to try and find who made it but could not find. Seller said 'Maybe Atlas'.....I liked it but didn't want to buy not knowing who made it!!! Did not look custom painted and factory high hood.......THXS

The external differences are relatively minor. The major differences were internal, particularly with modular electronics in the back wall of the cab. From a hobbyist's perspective, I'm happy with any model that captures the general flavor and performs well.

 

The Southern and N&W high-short-hood diesels were interesting as a carry-over from practices of the early diesel years, when crews were used to having a long boiler in front for more collision protection.
