Very cool locomotive
By Kevin P. Griffis
I'm working on modeling the New York Central railroad in the early 1950s time period. This Alco RS-3 is a great addition to my Alco HH600. The locomotive has a good amount of detail (it's currently in a display case on the shelf while the track layout gets worked out) and it runs well. I can't speak to its DCC abilities as I've only run it under DC. It crawls well and hits a decent top speed.
