HO RS-3 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, SOU #6222 (ATH-2160)

RS-3 Locomotive with DCC and Sound in Southern #6222 is an HO-scale replica of ALCO’s RS-3 diesel, built to deliver authentic operation and a prototypical presence on a model railroad. This ready-to-run model pairs a quiet, powerful drive with DCC and SoundTraxx Econami onboard sound and a cube speaker for crisp engine notes. Realistic details include LED lighting, see-through etched radiator fans and cab windows, and fine-scale metal grab irons and handrails, all mounted on a heavy die-cast frame for extra traction and pulling power.

Designed for easy setup and operation, it’s DCC-ready with Quick Plug plug-and-play technology and a 21-pin NEM connector, and supports both DC and DCC. The locomotive uses all-wheel drive with precision gears and a 5-pole motor with flywheels for smooth, quiet running, while RP25 wheels and McHenry knuckle couplers add authenticity. It arrives fully assembled and prototype-painted, and is suitable for layouts with minimum radii of 18 inches (22 inches recommended), including MU lashups and other RS-3 units.
