Got a used Milw RSD5 off the bay and added some details to it, hood number boards and horns to cab roof. When I got it the shell was not down all the way and after I finished it would not snap down, when I removed the weights it snaped down and fit snuggly. Has anyone had this problem and do you know what is hitting? Also It is missing one end railing ,I found a roundhouse RS 3 shell and railings so I hope these will fit as finding the Atlas replacement is hard.
Can't help you with the shell issue but as far as the missing handrail try googling Sooo-much-stuff on ebay. This guy has just about everything and he ships really fast. I have used him for purchasing handrails for Athearn BB locomotives. Ralph
Thank you . Went to that seller and has a Atlas rs3 set that should be the same. I have run the engine with out the two shell weights and it runs great so for now I will leave.
