Atlas HO RS-3 Locomotive | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Well over 1,300 RS-3 road-switcher locomotives were built by ALCO between 1950 and 1956. It can be considered one of the most successful four-axle diesel road-switchers ever produced by the builder. These 1,600hp locomotives were powered by an ALCO 244 V-12 engine which was complimented by rugged GE electrical components. The RS-3 was truly a versatile locomotive. It could be found in virtually every type of service from passenger and commuter runs to heavy-haul and local freight assignments. Original owners of the RS-3 tended to be in the eastern and central regions of the US (with heavier concentrations in the northeast and southeast).

Atlas HO ACF® 5701 Grain Hopper | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The first ready-to-run high-cube grain hopper to be offered as a R-T-R model in HO and N scale. The ACF 5701 grain hopper is similar to its 5701 plastics relative except it is equipped with continuous loading hatches and gravity outlets. The larger size was needed to transport lower density grain-related and similar agricultural products (e.g. feed, sunflower seeds etc) more efficiently than the then standard 4650, 4740, and 4750 cubic foot capacity grain hoppers. These were originally built as 263,000 GRL (Gross Rail Loading) cars but many have recently been rebuilt into the higher 286,000 GRL. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
