Alco S-2 switcher diesel engine with Proto-Sound 3.0, Green Bay \u0026amp; Western. Cab number: 201. Buoyed by a moratorium on competing diesel switcher manufacturing during World War II, the American Locomotive Company was able to cement itself as the premier switch engine manufacturer of its day with the release of its S Model engines beginning in 1940.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to replace the hi-hood Alco diesel switchers of the previous decade, the low-hood S-1 thru S-6 models were incredibly successful, with over 3,200 produced by 1961. Just over 1,500 S-2s were produced, outfitted with a turbocharged 1,000 horsepower 6 cylinder diesel engine that greatly improved upon the nearly 700 horsepower S-1. In fact, the S-2 proved to be the most successful of all the S Model switchers, capable of mainline passenger or freight work in addition to the usual yard work handled by most switch engines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturning to the M.T.H. Premier Line in all-new schemes, the Also S-2 may be one of the finest O Scale switchers ever produced. One listen to its Proto-Sound 3.0 locomotive start-up sequence, followed by a quick run in the switch yard, is proof-positive that this is one serious little locomotive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eDirectionally controlled headlights\u003cbr\u003eIntricately detailed ABS body\u003cbr\u003eMetal wheels, axles and gears\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast truck sides, pilots and fuel tank\u003cbr\u003eTwo remotely controlled Proto-Couplers\u003cbr\u003eColorful paint scheme\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast metal chassis\u003cbr\u003eMetal handrails and decorative horn\u003cbr\u003eTwo precision flywheel equipped motors\u003cbr\u003eLocomotive speed control in scale MPH increments\u003cbr\u003eProto-scale 3-2 3-rail\/2-rail conversion capable\u003cbr\u003eLighted cab interior\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003cbr\u003eTwo engineer cab figures\u003cbr\u003eOperating smoke unit\u003cbr\u003eOnboard DCC receiver\u003cbr\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 with The Digital Command System featuring: freight yard Proto-Effects\u003cbr\u003eUnit measures: 12 x 2 3\/4 x 3 3\/4\u003cbr\u003eOperates on O-31 curves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiesel DCC features:\u003cbr\u003eHeadlight\u003cbr\u003eBell\u003cbr\u003eWhistle\/Horn\u003cbr\u003eRear Coupler\u003cbr\u003eStart Up\/Shut Down\u003cbr\u003eFront coupler\u003cbr\u003eEngine sounds on\/off\u003cbr\u003eSound volume\u003cbr\u003eDitch lights auto\/on\/off\u003cbr\u003eForward signal\u003cbr\u003eReverse signal\u003cbr\u003eGrade crossing signal\u003cbr\u003eCab light on\/off\u003cbr\u003eExtended start up\u003cbr\u003eExtended shut down\u003cbr\u003eRev up\u003cbr\u003eRev down\u003cbr\u003eCoupler slack sound\u003cbr\u003eCoupler close\u003cbr\u003eOne-shot Doppler\u003cbr\u003eFeature reset\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 1\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 2\u003cbr\u003eIdle sequence 3\u003cbr\u003eBrakes auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eCab chatter auto\/off\u003cbr\u003eClickety-clack auto\/off\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
