HO RS-3 Locomotive Southern Railway Unit #6214 (ATH-2143)

An HO-scale Southern Railway RS-3 diesel-electric locomotive (SOU 6214) that is ready to run, designed to faithfully reproduce the ALCO RS-3 on HO layouts. This model brings mid-century American railroading to life with prototype-accurate detailing and dependable operation, ideal for both operating sessions and display.

Inside, a quiet, powerful can motor powers a smooth drive, with DCC-ready Quick Plug technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, plus LED lighting, a heavy die-cast frame, etched radiator fans, fine-scale handrails and metal grab irons for a highly realistic look. It rides on RP25 wheels with all-wheel electrical pickup for reliable performance, and comes fully assembled with McHenry knuckle couplers. Sound-equipped versions include a DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Econami and a single cube speaker, delivering engine, horn and bell sounds that work in both DC and DCC modes with CV-based customization. Minimum layout radius is 18 inches (22 inches recommended) to ensure smooth operation on most HO layouts.
