Bachmann Standard Line RS-3 with sound.

[rogertra]

I know this is just hopeful wishing but any chance of the RS-3 coming out in other railroad schemes?

I was looking and listening to one in the CPR "Pac-man" scheme.  Nice looking, running and sounding units and I would have purchased both that they had on the shelf except they were in the Pac-man colours which is too late for my 1958 GER.

How about CPR block lettering something in the not too distant future?

Yes, I know marketing decisions are made based on the colour schemes.  The perception in the marketing departments of companies the size of Bachmann are that colourful paint schemes sell better than more subdued schemes.  May work for the toy market but not for the scale hobbyists.
