HO RTR RS-3 with DCC and Sound - Burlington Northern #4054 (ATH28779)

HO-scale Burlington Northern RS-3 diesel locomotive with DCC and sound, a ready-to-run model designed for HO layouts. This detailed rendition blends the RS-3's classic silhouette with modern electronics—onboard Tsunami2 sound with a cube speaker, LED lighting, and a newly designed, more powerful and quieter can motor. It ships as a DCC-ready unit with a 21-pin plug for easy DCC installation and remains NMRA-compatible in DCC mode; in DC operation, engine, horn, and bell sounds still operate for authentic feel. Painted and decorated in Burlington Northern livery, it’s fully assembled and ready to roll straight from the box.

On the tracks it delivers reliability and realism: all-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth, quiet operation, plus all-wheel electrical pickup. The finely detailed injection-molded body features metal grab irons, fine-scale handrails, and see-through radiator fans and cab windows. McHenry scale knuckle couplers (Kadee-compatible) and RP25-contoured wheels help it couple and roll with a wide range of HO rolling stock. With an 18-inch minimum radius, LED lighting, and comprehensive DCC/sound features, this RS-3 offers immersive operation for both simple sidings and busy mainlines.
