HO RS-3 Locomotive with DCC and Sound LIRR 1520 (ATH-2157)

An HO‑scale RS‑3 diesel locomotive modeled after the ALCO RS‑3, finished in Long Island Rail Road livery as number 1520 for HO layouts. This model is available in DCC‑ready form for easy decoder installation or as a sound‑equipped version featuring SoundTraxx Econami and a cube speaker for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds. LED lighting provides durable, bright illumination on the layout.

Designed for smooth, dependable performance, it uses a heavy die‑cast frame, a 5‑pole motor, and all‑wheel drive with precise gearing for quiet operation. Detailing includes see‑through etched radiator fan and cab windows, metal grab irons, and fine‑scale handrails, plus McHenry scale knuckle couplers and RP25 wheels compatible with most popular track brands. Fully assembled and ready to run, it requires a minimum 18-inch radius (22 inches recommended) for best results on realistic layouts.
