Add classic Alco power to your Union Pacific roster with this Walthers Mainline HO scale Alco RSC-2 decorated as Union Pacific #1285. The RSC-2 was a six-axle relative of the four-axle RS-2, using A1A trucks to spread the locomotive's weight over the lighter rail of branch and secondary lines. First produced in 1946, the 1,500 hp Alco worked freight, passenger, and yard switching assignments from the late 1940s through the 1970s.

Item 910-10724 is a ready-to-run Standard DC locomotive that captures the RSC-2's accurate proportions and signature long trucks, with an air- or water-cooled exhaust stack matched to the prototype. Molded drill starter points make adding correct curved Alco grab irons easy with the separately sold Walthers Mainline RS-2 Diesel Detail Kit (910-260). It shares the same drive as Walthers Proto models, including a five-pole skew-wound motor, 14 to 1 gear ratio, helical-cut gears, all-wheel drive and electrical pickup, and a machined brass flywheel.
