DCC is *possible* - there is a space inside that may have just enough space for a small, thin decoder (I'm thinking TCS Z2 *BUT* I have NOT confirmed it - yet) Please advise what you find out. I'm all in for DCC with 2/3rd of my collection converted. |

I love this comment that was posted on the Ztrack Facebook page:
"Looks like it's time for a Z scale layout, love RS3s, wish someone would do N ones with that much detail."

We chose to do both SP and Cotton Belt. If you look close at the paint schemes they are both Black Widow, but with individual differences  |

Cotton Belt did like almost matching the SP schemes. As I recall they did something similar to their Daylight locomotives as well. Like bloodynose, pleased you didn't do the Bloody Nose scheme. As I recall not many of the earlier unit received it and more common on the rebuilds and later models as like the RS11s and 12s/ |
