Rapido’s famous HO Scale FT Locomotive has many state-of-the-art features for an FT model! These include a close coupling system with a coupler or drawbar, tons of lighting features, numberboard and class light placements and weight that can pull a barn door off its hinges!
This run includes some neat detail variations never before seen on an HO Scale FT Locomotive. The Rio Grande A-Units feature a unique class light casting that sits on top of the nose, creating a truly odd bug-eye appearance. Western Pacific’s units feature numberboards on top of the cab along with a wagon wheel-style antenna and the headlight on the roof of the B-unit. Atlantic Coast Line units feature new pilot and MU nose along with nose-side ladders.
Artwork is preliminary and subject to change before final production.
