ALCO Road Switchers Models RSD-4, RDS-5 Catalog |
order sheet in preparation |
Alco's continuing improvement of the RS-2 road switcher led to the Model RS-3 in mid-1950. The uprated GT581 traction generator and the 1,600-hp V-12 244 prime mover resulted permitted an optional weight of 250,00 pounds. Unlike the earlier RS-2, dynamic brakes were available on the RS-3, and steam generators could be installed in the short hood. Though most roads ran the RS-3 long end forward, many roads ran the sort hood forward. Offshoots were the RSC-3 series with A1A-A1A trucks and the RSD-4 and RSD-5 with C-C trucks.
The Division Point and Ajin Train Models will offer the RS-3 in various roads and paint schemes. Since many RS-3s continue in service, later schemes will also be offered. You are well advised to contact your dealer to reserve yours!
