Prototype and Background Info:

ALCO built the RS-3 to compete with EMD, Fairbanks-Morse, and Baldwin Locomotive Works. They made more improvements than the RS-2. ALCO produced 377 RS-2s and 1,418 RS-3s.

The new model had 1,600 hp, more than the earlier design. Visually, the RS3 is similar to the RS2. They were more stylish than ALCO’s first diesel, the RS1. With curves and beveled edges, it had a streamlined look. Some railroads used RS3 diesels for passenger/commuter service. Many liked it for its versatility and reliability. RS3s were one of Alco’s popular locomotives.

Using this Athearn RS-3 locomotive model is a breeze. First, make sure you've got the right power source. If you're using a DCC system, just plug it in using the Quick Plug™ technology. If it's DC, connect it to your DC power supply. The sound unit will work in both DC and DCC, but some functions might be limited in DC. When you start it up, enjoy the smooth and quiet operation thanks to the all - wheel drive and precision gears. You can also use the lighting functions by pressing F5 or F6. As for maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the body, handrails, and other parts. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint or plastic parts. Store it in the interior plastic blister when not in use to protect it from scratches and damage. Also, check the wheels and gears regularly to make sure they're in good condition. If you notice any issues, it's best to get it checked by a professional.
