AFAIK Roundhouse does not currently make the model you mention. Are you referring to a model made by Athearn?

Regards.

AFAIK, they did.

If you do end up buying one, I recommend marrying it to a piece of rolling stock, because the short wheelbase has a lot of trouble on switches larger than #4.

Any idea when it was made? I'll be curious to see the selling price.

I think that was the last new thing Roundhouse came up with before being purchased by Horizon Hobby. When they added Roundhouse to their line they decided to swap around various Athearn and MDC items to make Roundhouse a line of vintage type equipment and Athearn be more modern things, as a result the Model 40 became an Athearn product, and so did the RS3.
