Southern RS-3

104k RailfanEthan  7.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on LatteCoffee55's Southern RS-3

With 1,600 horsepower, American Locomotive Company's beast was a common sight for almost every railroad. Produced from 1950-1956, over 1,400 units were made. Some of them went to Mexico, Brazil, and Canada.

This has to be the most parts I've uploaded. Shoutout to LatteCoffee55 for turning my iPad into a vegetable and helping out extensively on the build.

Controls:
1-2 is lights
Roll steers
Trim is throttle

Enjoy!

    @RailfanEthan I cannot even download this because the number of parts exceeded the download limit which is 800. Really?
    I appreciate your efforts. But can you, say, upload a cockpit-detached version? (cockpit not on the train and system will only count the cockpit, so it is always one part, and your train is unattached and not counted. We can attach the cockpit later). I mean, for a rail fan like me(although I said nothing), I want to have these downloaded and have fun with.

    Same. Some locomotives like that are just normal ones with a full hood (yes, that's what the small part is). Others... who knows? @RailfanEthan
