Interstate Railroad ALCO RS-3 Phase 3 Diesel Locomotive

The ALCO RS-3 was a versatile four-axle road switcher used by railroads throughout North America for freight service, switching, and local operations. Powered by ALCO's 244-series diesel engine, the prototype became a familiar sight on both major railroads and smaller regional lines during the transition from steam to diesel power.

The Interstate Railroad operated in the coal-producing regions of southwestern Virginia, making its ALCO road switchers especially appealing to modelers recreating Appalachian coal operations and eastern railroad history.

Bowser's Executive Line HO scale Interstate #35 represents the Phase 3 RS-3 configuration, featuring detailed bodywork, railroad-specific features, and factory-applied paint and lettering. Its DC mechanism includes a 21-pin decoder socket for modelers who wish to install DCC later.
