Walthers is pleased to announce new roadnames for PROTO N Alco RS-2 locomotives. These vintage diesels are perfect for 1940s to 1970s layouts.

Fast Facts: The RS-2 was Alco's first roadswitcher to incorporate its new 244-Series prime mover. Designed for versatility, the 1500-horsepower diesels were equally at home working road freights or switch runs. If equipped with a steam generator, they were adept at working commuter and secondary passenger runs. Production began in 1946, with just over 350 units constructed for U.S. and Canadian roads before the unit was succeeded by the 1,600-horsepower RS-3 in 1950. RS-2s have worked for Class I, shortline and industrial lines across the continent. The engines were long lived, with one survivor still holding down daily freight duties in 2008. A few others still see service at museum and tourist lines.

Features: PROTO N Alco RS-2 locomotives include laser-sharp printing, all-wheel drive and electrical pickup, Accumate® knuckle couplers, dual machined brass flywheels, a heavy diecast split-frame chassis and RP-25 wheels for operation on Code 55 or larger rail. The models are equipped with a five-pole skew-wound armature motor, constant intensity and directional headlights and a DCC-friendly mechanism with a clip-fit circuit board.
