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.
