Well over 1,300 RS-3 road-switcher locomotives were built by ALCO between 1950 and 1956. It can be considered one of the most successful four-axle diesel road-switchers ever produced by the builder. These 1,600hp locomotives were powered by an ALCO 244 V-12 engine which was complimented by rugged GE electrical components. The RS-3 was truly a versatile locomotive. It could be found in virtually every type of service from passenger and commuter runs to heavy-haul and local freight assignments. Original owners of the RS-3 tended to be in the eastern and central regions of the US (with heavier concentrations in the northeast and southeast).Features include Golden-white LEDs, Directional lighting, Separately-applied painted handrails (where appropriate), Blackened metal wheels, Scale Speed motor, Factory-installed AccuMate magnetic knuckle couplers, Accurate painting and printing, AccuMate couplers are made under license from AccuRail, Inc.
