HO Scale Phase III RS-3

[NW Modeling List]

Dave:

I also cancelled the 3 HO RS3 that I had reserved. The famous photo of the
N&W RS3 in script herald in front of the Roanoke Shop is what the general
public knows best (see attached photo), not the as delivered herald. I know
that some wanted the black NW herald. I still will buy the Bowers blue RS3.

I have 3 O scale RS3s reserved in the Script scheme from Division Point.
Jack’s web site states blue but that is not going to happen as I have
reserved the whole run so far in script.
