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??????

I only counted commercially avaiable.....didn't want to be accused of
cheating! I did forget/overlook the Baldwin Sharks (A&B)

tonnage is
Dont't know about the weight.....too much to lift at the same time anyhow.
>While you are weighing brass, I will be at Starbucks with my pretty wife
sipping a hot toddy.
Stay away from that stuff....it'll stunt your growth! :-)
Merry Christmas, Gary
