This locomotive, classified by Alco as model DL-701, was their replacement for the very popular RS-3 road-switcher. Featuring a V-12, 1,800hp 251B diesel engine, the RS-11 was Alco’s answer to EMD’s very successful GP9. The turbocharged RS-11 accelerated faster, had a higher tractive effort rating and typically used less fuel than the competition. It was also quite versatile and could be found in heavy haul freight as well as passenger service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe largest owner of RS-11’s was Norfolk \u0026amp; Western which purchased a total of 99 units (an additional 35 were added to the fleet after the merger with Nickel Plate). Other major purchasers included Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania and Southern Pacific, all of whom placed repeat orders. With approximately 426 units built for the US and Mexico over 8 years of production, the RS-11 was successful for Alco in that it provided ongoing competition for EMD’s popular road-switchers. A few examples of this model are still in service today and can be found working for various shortlines in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC\/Sound version available with LokSound decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden-white LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic die-cast mainframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-equipped with AccuMate® knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately-applied wire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU hoses and coupler cut bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo painted crew members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMRA 8-pin plug for DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports all DCC-programming modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA total of six DCC function outputs are available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices\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.
