Dear Wes One of my Kidder 44-tonners with Wagner drive is painted for SV #3; the lettering (individual letters) came out nicely except for the #3 on the cab sides. Not sure what to do about that. The RR brass 44-tonner has Ph III hoods, while the SV #3 was a Ph IV with shutters and screening on top of the hoods. Actually the PA Heritage resin body unit would be an easier starting point (come to think of it, I haven't decided how to paint mine yet); I did replace the footboards with scratchbuilt brass ones--a great improvement, if I do say so myself--and adapted SHS short draftgear couplers for a much improved appearance. I've thought more than once about SV #1 as an O scale scratchbuilding project--it is a lovely small stock semi-modern shortline locomotive prototype. And my memory may be suffering, but I thought #2 was a 43T unit? I have saved a LaBelle combine kit for rebuilding as the most-common RPO-Baggage-Passenger car to go with my Kidder.
