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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring this same time-period, ALCO offered a six-axle road-switcher which was more commonly found in the west. The RSD-4\/5 was externally very similar to the RS-3, having six-axle trucks as an obvious spotting feature. They produced the same 1,600hp as an RS-3, but offered increased tractive effort due to the use of a larger generator. Many RSD-4\/5s were assigned to operate in mountainous territory (with varying degrees of success) on the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and the Utah Railway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGolden-white LEDs\u003cbr\u003eDirectional lighting\u003cbr\u003eSeparately-applied painted handrails (where appropriate)\u003cbr\u003eBlackened metal wheels\u003cbr\u003eScale Speed™ motor\u003cbr\u003eFactory-installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003eAccurate painting and printing","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53147522957609,"sku":"104221","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/7882\/9865\/files\/834730da-1b24-5a28-a331-2994a3a2008b.webp?v=1778460071","url":"https:\/\/nightwatchtrains.com\/products\/atlas-40-005-487-n-scale-louisville-nashville-alco-rs-3-diesel-locomotive-105","provider":"Nightwatch Trains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
