This model comes with factory installed knuckle couplers and is DCC ready with a NMRA compliant plug. The ALCO S-1 and S-3 were 660 horsepower switcher diesel-electric locomotives produced by ALCO and their Canadian subsidiary Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW). Basically, the two locomotives differed only in trucks, with the S-1 using ALCO's own Blunt trucks, and the S-3 riding on standard AAR type A switcher trucks. The S-1 was built between April 1940 and June 1950, with a total of 543 completed, while the S-3 was constructed between February 1950 and November 1953 (MLW until 1957) with total sales of 300. A modified version, the S-10, was built by MLW only; 13 were built between January and June 1958. Both the S-1 and S-3 were powered with the Alco 539 Straight 6 cylinder Four Stroke natural aspiration diesel prime mover. The GE GT 552-A generator powered the four GE 731 Traction Motors.
