This locomotive, classified by Alco as model DL-701, was their replacement for the very popular RS-3 road-switcher. Featuring a V-12, 1,800hp 251B diesel engine, the RS-11 was Alco’s answer to EMD’s very successful GP9. The turbocharged RS-11 accelerated faster, had a higher tractive effort rating and typically used less fuel than the competition. It was also quite versatile and could be found in heavy haul freight as well as passenger service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe largest owner of RS-11s was Norfolk \u0026amp; Western which purchased a total of 99 units (an additional 35 were added to the fleet after the merger with Nickel Plate). Other major purchasers included Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania and Southern Pacific, all of whom placed repeat orders. With approximately 426 units built for the US and Mexico over 8 years of production, the RS-11 was successful for Alco in that it provided ongoing competition for EMD’s popular road-switchers. A few examples of this model are still in service today and can be found working for various shortlines in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"story\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull pilots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccuMate® couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden-white LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate handrails and side sill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect wheelbase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable DCC Ready \u0026amp; DCC Equipped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas Master Series Silver Additional Features:**\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtlas Silver Sound Ready models are equipped with a speaker for easy conversion to sound with the addition of a decoder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDCC Operation Features (GOLD LOCOMOTIVES ONLY)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:**\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports all DCC-programming modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC includes RailCom and RailComPlus, with 14, 28 or 128 speed steps and with 2-digit and 4-digit addressing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible mapping of function keys F0 to F28.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA total of 6 DCC function outputs are available, and all can be function mapped (disable, brightness, light effects) individually\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eESU LokSound Features (GOLD LOCOMOTIVES ONLY):**\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 20 sound effects are available, including engine start-up and shutdown, prime mover sounds through all eight notches, bell, air horn, air compressor,\u003cbr\u003edynamic brakes and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere are up to 16 user-selectable horns, 2 user-selectable bells, and 2 user-selectable synchronized brake squeals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual and Automatic Notching modes with the ability to change modes ”on the fly” are provided for true realism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #ff0000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLombard Hobbies = Big Inventory ∙ Value Pricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas N","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48941383090329,"sku":"ATL40005869","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/n40005869.jpg?v=1787850303","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/atlas-master-silver-series-n-40005868-dcc-ready-alco-rs11-locomotive-conrail-cr-7598-copy","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
