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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately-applied handrails and stanchions, including separate drop step detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory installed AccuMate couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual flywheel-equipped five-pole skewed armature motor for optimum performance at all speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate painting and printing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Road number may vary from picture shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eNOTE: NOS (New Old Stock) \/ USED items are as-is and not returnable.
