ALCO RS-3

Alco's most successful road switcher, a familiar sight on US railroads in the 1950's and 1960's. Turbocharged 1500 hp, some still in service today being rebuilt for smaller railroads. The rounded contours and low hoods gave these engines the modern look of the 50's.

Alco RS-3 features: Finely cut body and details, operating headlight.
Die cast frame, steel wheels operating couplers and a three position electronic reverse unit with all AC hi-rail versions.
Efficient flywheel drive system.

Models are tested and shipped ready to run, however the modeler is to install horns, windows and railings. Instructions are included. We can install these items for an extra $25.00 if desired.
