HO RTR RS-3 D&RGW #5203 Locomotive (ATH28678)

HO Scale RS-3 Locomotive in D&RGW livery, numbered 5203, is a detailed, ready-to-run model designed for HO layouts. It reproduces the classic ALCO RS-3 and is ideal for local and switching work on a home or club railroad.

Built for realism and dependable operation, the RS-3 features metal grab irons, fine-scale handrails, see-through etched radiator fan and cab windows, RP25-contoured wheels, and McHenry knuckle couplers compatible with Kadee. It delivers smooth, quiet performance thanks to a newly designed can motor and precision gears, with all-wheel electrical pickup for steady power. DCC-ready versions include a 21-pin plug for easy digital control, while sound-equipped models pair Tsunami2 sound with a cube speaker to reproduce engine, horn, and bell sounds on both DC and DCC layouts. LED lighting adds longevity, and the minimum radius is 18 inches, making it suitable for most HO layouts. The model ships fully assembled and ready to run.
