Product Information:

Rapido is proud to announce the Montreal Locomotive Works S-13 and RS-23 locomotives! These two models are virtually identical from the frame up. In fact, they both used the same MLW-style switcher body and underframe of the previous S-11 and S-12 designs. Under the hood both used an ALCO 251c prime mover which generated 1,000hp. The major difference between the two versions was the S-13 rode on “switching style” AAR trucks while the RS-23 utilized road trucks.
