HO Scale......Atlas RS-3 Locomotive.  The model is available with two road numbers, #33 and #38.  I believe the model itself is a Phase I and the real Interstate units were Phase 3's.  The model is missing the dynamic brake vent on the top of the short hood.  Overall the model is a great edition to the model railroad world.  I am glad to see Atlas offer this paint scheme.  February 2008 to the present.

Kits

  Funaro & Camerlengo makes a Southern Wood caboose that could be used to create the number 18 and 19 cabs.  There are no decals available for Interstate cabs, but it shouldn't be to hard to make your own.  The kit numbers are C-506 and C-507.  One kit is for Multi-pane windows and the other is single pane.  It doesn't matter which kit you buy, the kit has parts for both cabs.  The kits are $29.99.

Bethlehem Car Works has released a new kit in HO scale.  It is a Interstate caboose.  The kit will build number 20 and 21 cabs.  These are the two cabooses that were purchased from Lackawanna.  The kit has 4 windows on each side, so it is good for the June 1954 to May 1968.  These cabs were rebuild in 1968 to 2 windows and different siding.  The price for the kit is $65.00.   The cab is listed under the Sparrow's  point product line.
