HO RS-3 Locomotive NYSW 101 (ATH-2149)

HO Scale RS-3 Locomotive in NYSW livery, Number 101 — a detailed, ready-to-run model of the classic ALCO RS-3 diesel-electric locomotive, representing the 1,600-horsepower prototype from the 1950s. This HO model captures the era with authentic detailing, including see-through etched radiator fans and cab windows, metal grab irons, and fine-scale handrails. It ships fully assembled and ready to run, making it a natural centerpiece for NYSW-era layouts.

Designed for reliable, realistic operation on HO layouts, it features a newly designed can motor for stronger, quieter performance and DCC-ready Quick Plug technology with a 21-pin NEM connector. Sound-equipped versions add Econami sound with a cube speaker and can operate on both DC and DCC. The model uses all-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth motion, RP25 wheels for compatibility with popular track, a heavy die-cast frame for traction, and fine details such as McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, etched radiator fans, cab windows, metal grab irons, and handrails. A minimum 18-inch radius is recommended (22 inches for best results on curves).
