HO RTR RS-3

An Athearn classic is back and this time with factory installed LED lights and Tsunami2 sound! Produced from May of 1950 to August of 1956 by American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) a total of 1,265 RS-3s were produced. Locomotives like the RS-3 quickly sidelined mainline and branchline steam due to the reduced maintenance cost and upkeep, with many ALCO RS-3s still working today. Shop Now
