Up for your consideration and review is N Scale New N Scale BLI ALCO RSD-15 with DCC and Sound in new condition. Two units are available with numbers 8612 and 8611.

This listing is for one unit only. The Alco RSD-15 was built between 1956 and 1960 in Schenectady, New York.

The RSD-15 was powered by an Alco 251 16-cylinder V-type engine. 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.
