They're out! Here are some shots of the new Athearn EL SD45-2s and the Erie
RS3s.

The SD45-2s are simply phenomenal - details are all great, all the next
EL-specific stuff is there (low profile details on roof, horn on bracket,
big fuel tank, extra louvers). The paint and lettering is 1st rate. The only
thing I see that can be improved is that the modeler needs to add windshield
wipers to this unit (interestingly enough, there are small "nubs" where the
windshield wipers come out of, so this is a very simple task. I haven't run
them yet to see how they do, but I'll report once I do.

The RS3's also turned out great, and it's nice to see an Erie RS3 in the
900-series that actually has a steam generator! Again, you can add extra
details to this model (wagon wheel antenna, corner marker lamps, and the
tall drop-step on the end), but it's pretty good right out of the box.

Enjoy!
