Dear HO Scale Customers;

Rapido Trains Inc. is excited to announce the EMD (Electro-Motive Division) FT Diesel Locomotives

Rapido’s famous HO Scale FT Locomotive have 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 see on an HO Scale FT Locomotive. The Rio Grande A-Units feature a unique class light casting that the sits on top of the nose, creating a true bug-eye appearance. Western Pacific's units feature the numberboards on top of the cab roof along with a wagon wheel-style antenna and the usual bulb reflector headlight.
