The S-3 is the culminating iteration of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad's own 1930 S-1 Northern design. In 1937, Baldwin delivered 30 S-2s into service and in 1940 delivered another 10 S-2 locomotives. Finally, in 1943, Alco built the 10 S-3 locomotives - road numbers 260 - 269. They were used in freight and passenger service during the ten years they were operating.Two S3's survive today. #261 was retired in 1956 and donated to the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Today the locomotive is owned and operated by the Friends of the 261, which uses the locomotive for occasional excursions. #265 was retired in September 1956 and donated to the city of Milwaukee. It sat on display until 1975, and then was moved to the Illinois Railway Museum where it still resides.Industry-leading Model Features:Paragon3 Sound & Control SystemSynchronized Puffing Smoke with Chuff SoundVariable Puffing Smoke Intensity Integral DCC Decoder with Back EMF for Industry Best Slow Speed Operation in DC and DCCPrecision Drive Mechanism engineered for continuous heavy load towing and smooth slow speed operation5-Pole Can Motor with Skew Wound ArmatureHeavy Die Cast Boiler, Tender Body, and Chassis for Increased Tractive EffortPremium Caliber Painting with Authentic Paint SchemePrototypical Light Operation with Separately Controllable Headlight, Rear Light, Cab Light, and Red Mars LightFactory-installed Engineer and Fireman FiguresPrototypically Accurate Road NumberMany Separately Applied Details such as Handrails, Ladders, Piping, Whistle, and Brass BellEquipped with Rubber Traction Tires for Increased Pulling Power
