Hi Gary; The first, or nearly the first, brass commercial S scale model was an Alco RS-3, made by Alco Models, not Atlas.

Ed, I no longer own the locomotive, but I thought it was made by Atlas; one of the first ever brass locomotives. It may have even been an RS-1 or -2, but it was modified and painted as an RS-3 for me back in the early 70's by one of the premier painters. Hard to remember.....the hair, what remains, is solid white and the big 70 is right around the corner! I sold it at the NASG convention......I think??????
