Description

The Alco RSD-15’s were built between 1956 and 1960 in Schenectady, New York. The RSD-15 was powered by an Alco 251 16-cylinder V-type engine. Rated at 2,400 horsepower, these versatile locomotives were suited for mainline freight and passenger service. The locomotive rode on 3-axle trucks with all axles powered by GE model 752 traction motors. The trucks have asymmetrical axle spacing because of the position of the traction motors. The six-motor design allowed for higher tractive effort at lower speeds than a similar four-motor design.

The RSD-15’s could be ordered with either a high or low short hood, and the low hood versions quickly earned the nickname “alligators” due to their unusually long noses.

True scale and true to life miniature model for adult collectors.
Not suitable for children under 14 years.
