Scale Alco RS-3 Diesel
|
|
Introduced in 1950, the all-purpose, 1600-HSP RS-3 diesel
locomotive had the stamina and strength for freight and
passenger service yet was agile enough for yard work.
With its
rugged, dependable design, it’s no wonder that
many of these versatile RS-3 locomotives are still working
today on short lines, tourist lines, and hauling freight.
Bachmann’s DCC-equipped model adds digital
control and versatility to your stable of locomotives..

A
Brief note regarding Bachmann: The
company goes all the way back to 1833. In 1899
through merger, the name changed to
Bachmann Bros. Over the years, they focused on
entry-level train sets, eventually turning to
China for production purposes. Facing a downturn
in business,
they sold the company to Kader Group (their Hong
Kong based Chinese supplier) in 1984. The name
was changed to Bachmann Industries. Through additional
acquisitions (Liliput - Austria) / (Graham Farish
- England) / Williams Electric - US) / (Sanda
Kan - China), Kader is now by far and away the
largest
manufacturer of trains in the world today.
More importantly as far as N scalers are concerned, they have substantially
upgraded the quality, performance and detail of their high-end line-up. Their
2 latest N scale offerings were outstanding ... photos
