HO RTR RS-3 Locomotive with DCC and Sound, BN #4064 (ATH28781)

This HO-scale, ready-to-run RS-3 locomotive with DCC and sound is a faithful, versatile model built for HO enthusiasts who want an authentic representation of the classic RS-3. Fully assembled, it features a robust five-pole skew-wound motor for smooth, quiet operation, all‑wheel drive for steady pulling power, and RP25 wheel contours for reliable running on standard tracks. The highly detailed injection‑molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration, with see‑through cab windows and etched radiator fans that enhance the prototype look. DCC‑ready Quick Plug technology keeps decoder installation straightforward, and the model is designed to run on 18‑inch minimum‑radius curves.

Sound‑equipped versions include onboard Tsunami2 DCC/Sound with a cube speaker for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds on both DC and DCC layouts. In DC some functions are limited, while DCC mode provides the full NMRA‑compatible feature set and operating lighting (headlights and ditch lights) via F5 and/or F6. The RS‑3 also features metal grab irons, scale handrails, and McHenry‑scale knuckle couplers compatible with Kadee, delivering a convincing, ready‑to‑run locomotive that fits a wide range of HO layouts.
