Already been done. I have three: an SP&S, a BN and an undec.
Both of the former are great runners. For the BN one, I added weight and a decoder. It's pulled 25 cars out of a yard. The undec is still in the box.
Lee English has told me that he put off the C-415 to get out the new RS-3's. I expect he'll get to it after the RS-3's are out. That may mean just the late phase ones; or, if his sales are stunning, he might feel the need to stay with the RS-3's other phases. There is certainly more money in RS-3's than C-415's.
If Atlas said anything about doing one, it must have been a LONG time ago. I surely haven't seen a hint about it for years.

I've heard talk of two major HO manufacturer's making a C-415 available in
HO . But talk is cheap. I asked the question to both Atlas and Bowser . Both of which responded with it's in the mix.
Personally I wanted this locomotive for thirty years. Now the HO high tech,high horsepower locomotives of today are great but I'm an old school Alco guy.
Anybody know insights into if this alco will materialize into a HO model ? When ?
