HO RS-3 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, SOU #6214 (ATH-2158)

HO Scale RS-3 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Southern Railway livery, 6214, is a faithful HO-scale reproduction of the ALCO RS-3 diesel-electric locomotive. Fully assembled and ready to run, this model brings authentic mid-century detailing and modern DCC operation to your layout, letting you enjoy lifelike sound, lighting, and movement as you operate a Southern Railway roster.

Built for realism and reliability, it features a heavy die-cast frame for traction, a five-pole motor with flywheels for smooth, quiet pulling power, and all-wheel drive with precision gears. Fine details include etched radiator fans and cab windows, metal grab irons, and fine-scale handrails, plus McHenry scale knuckle couplers and RP25-contoured wheels that run on most major brands of track. The DCC-equipped version uses a SoundTraxx Econami decoder with a cube speaker, delivering engine, horn, and bell sounds and operating on both DC and DCC. Many functions are NMRA-compatible and adjustable via CVs (CV chart included for setup and MU lashups). A minimum radius of 18 inches is required, with 22 inches recommended for best performance, and the model ships securely in packaging designed for safe storage.
