Some very strange ones at this website. There's even a mention of one with non circular wheels. Here's the gyroscopic loco to start you off.

conrail 9920 was an extremely rare (5 total) high hood rs3. it was the only one to be re-engined. note the emd switcher stacks.

penn central/ conrail 9950 was the first of the remotored rs3s, a prototype for the rebuilds that included the 9920 above. it lost its short hood in the rebuilding
