Looking for an authentic ALCO road switcher for your consists? The Bowser Executive Line ALCO RS-3 in Delaware & Hudson colors (the "Blue Dip" scheme), equipped with DCC and sound, is exactly what you need.

What sets this model apart is the attention to detail the Bowser Executive Line is known for: railroad- and era-specific body variations, applied details (air hoses, windshield wipers, grab irons, coupler lift bars), road-specific fuel tanks, and window glazing. This version is equipped with an ESU LokSound V5 sound and DCC decoder and operates on both DCC and DC layouts (limited sound features on DC). An operating headlight, can motor with dual flywheels, nickel silver wheels with RP25 flanges, and knuckle couplers ensure smooth, reliable operation.
