RSC-2s Were Perfect for Branchlines and Lightweight Bridges
The RSC-2 was essentially an Alco RS-2 on six axles and was designed for
branches and other lines with light rail and bridges. Adding the third axle
on each truck helped spread the weight over more wheels. Equally at home
working freight and passenger runs, many were purchased for a specific
branch where they spent most of their working lives. Their distinctive
trucks and the scenic routes they typically worked have made them popular
with fans and modelers.
These models feature a five-pole, skew-wound motor and dual flywheels,
12-wheel drive and electrical pickup, directional headlights and knuckle
couplers, so they'll perform as good as they look.
