HO & O Gauge LokPilot 5 DCC Decoder - 21MTC NEM660
Features:
We know that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. Therefore we have the LokPilot 5DCC packed with function outputs. Depending on the interface version, each LokPilot offers 5 DCC Decoder at least 10 amplified function outputs with 250mA output current each. In the executions with PluX22 or 21MTC interface there are 4 outputs to control servos or Logic level outputs added. All-important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately. The decoder masters automatic pushing and pulling when uncoupling for ROCO, Krois and Telex couplings.
Motor control:
The engine control of the LokPilot 5 DCC has been fundamentally improved again. A variably adjustable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super quiet operation, especially with bell-armature motors. Operation - The typical hum is a thing of the past. The load control now has up to10 CVs which can be adjusted for difficult cases. The unique Autotune function enables the automatic calibration of the decoder to the motor. The LokPilot 5 DCC decoder delivers up to 1.5A of motor current. Enough juice even for older motors.
Operational safety:
On request, a Power Pack can be fitted to the LokPilot 5 DCC to bridge dirty rail sections.
Protection:
Of course, all function outputs and the motor output are protected against overload.
We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.

HO 89Ft Bethlehem Flush-Deck Flatcar - TTX WTTX #157939
Product Information
From the 1970s to the present, these WalthersProto 89Ft Bethlehem Flush-Deck Flatcars are a must for modeling trailer-on-flat-car service on your HO layout!
Designed especially for use with overhead- or side-loading cranes, these later variations of the 89Ft flatcar eliminated the deep channel sidesills that served as rub rails when trailers were driven on or off the cars. Introduced in the 1970s when 40Ft trailers were still standard, the cars were later updated to handle the bigger 45Ft trailers that came into service in the early 1980s by repositioning the hitches. These cars would remain the backbone of intermodal fleets for years, and were later put to work fitted with autoracks and specialized loading equipment where some can still be seen today. A verstaile addition to your freightcar fleet, these WalthersProto models are available in several authentic versions and feature:

HO Wood Coaling Tower - Plastic Kit
Product Information
Based on a typical two-track design, the Walthers Cornerstone Wood Coaling Tower will be a focal point in any engine terminal. Towers like this were built in yards at servicing facilities as well as along the mainlines and branchlines to refuel engines on the road. This easy-to-build plastic model features a realistic coal bunker plus detailed chutes and mechanisms. A hopper unloading shed sits along one side for receiving coal. Like the prototype, it can serve two tracks at once, making it an ideal choice for maximizing service in minimum space. Place it in the vicinity of a roundhouse or engine shed, turntable, water tank and sand tower and youll have a complete engine servicing facility for your railroad. The Wood Coaling Tower could still be standing in a late-steam or early-diesel era scene, a reminder of how things used to be.

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
By the early 1970s, many first generation diesels were reaching the end of their service lives. The most common replacement locomotives became the GP40-2. EMD began production of the 16-cylinder, turbocharged, 3000 horsepower engine in 1972. These locomotive were developed for service where higher horsepower and faster service were preferable. A major feature for the GP40-2 was the introduction of the -dash 2- modular electrical cabinet. For more than 40 years, the GP40-2 has worked main line freights, locals, switching jobs, yard service, and helper service. Many remain in service today.

N Scale Modern Tagger Graffiti Decals - Set #11 (9pcs)
Love it or hate it, graffiti is everywhere. We do not condone painting graffiti on real railroad cars, buildings, bridges, etc. and it is against the law. But defacing your model railroad with Blair Lines Graffiti Decals is fun and still legal as far as we know! All decals are reproductions of graffiti found on real railroad cars.
All of these graffiti decal sets are now lasercut! What this means is you will no longer have to trim these decals close. You only have to cut a couple of small tabs and soak the sheet in water. As an added bonus, the decals are now printed on white decal paper making them more opaque!

HO Scale H1b Hudson Steam - DC/DCC Ready - Canadian Pacific (Beaver Shield) No #
-Late walkway
Designed by Chief of Motive Power & Rolling Stock Henry Blane Bowen, Canadian Pacifics H1a and H1b class
4-6-4 Hudson locos were state-of-the-art steam power when delivered. A total of twenty locos were delivered
in two batches of ten each. The first batch, numbers #2800-2809, were delivered in 1929 and classified H1a. The second ten, numbers #2810-2819, were delivered in 1930 and were classified H1b. These locomotives were used on mainline passenger trains across the CPs system. So successful were they that CP used their design as the basis for its -Royal Hudsons- seven years later, which were designated as class H1c through H1d. Both classes survived intact until the end of steam, with the first retirements not coming until 1957.
Rapidos H1a/b HO scale models are based on our hugely successful Royal Hudson. We are offering several
different detail variations which allow you to model these locos at any point throughout their service life,
including the preserved #2816.

Product Information
When the domestic intermodal container market settled out in the late 90s, the 53Ft long container emerged the winner. Car builders responded with new wells of like size to accommodate the new standard. Introduced in series service in early 2000, Thralls triple 53Ft articulated well car was certainly the best looking of the 53Ft wells. Angular wheel cutouts, 3 flared-bottom wide and 8 narrow side posts give this intermodal age well car character.

HO MLW M420 - DCC Ready- Ontario Southland Railway(Red/White/Blue) #646 Otter Valley Railroad Exclusive
Each model comes with a signed certificate of authenticity from CEOs of Ontario Southland and Otter Valley Railroad
-NOTE:
Preliminary artwork. Subject to change or revisions before production.
The M420 was equipped with the ALCO 12V-251c3 prime mover producing 2000 H.P. Most M420 units rode on MLW ZWT (Zero Weight- Transfer) trucks. The only exception to this were the 5 units built for the Providence & Worcester, which rode on ALCO trade-in FA trucks. The P&W required a different bolster design and different truck spacing, making them unique.
MLW constructed 103 M420s between May 1973 and February 1977 for four railways including CN (80), BCR (16 including eight B units), Ferrocarriles del Estado (2), Providence & Worcester (5).
CN would take delivery of the M420s in 3 groups: MR-20a class 2500-2529 (delivered 1973), MR-20b class 2530- 2559 (delivered 1974), and MR-20c class 2560-2579 (delivered 1976).
All of the CN units were retired by 1998 and today many of these locomotives have found second careers on short lines all over North America.
The M420 Locomotive features:
3D scanned from an actual M420. This is as close to real as
it gets!
MR-20b and MR-20c classes available in the first run

Model Wash - Olive Green - 35ml Bottle
Model Wash is a range of washes created with a unique water-based formula. The product provides the model painter with new techniques for rendering the processes of ageing and exposure to the elements. Colors with a matt finish and of high capillarity, formulated to bring forth the minute details of the panels of the model and the contrasts produced by the wear and accumulated grime caused by operative and weather exposure. The versatility of Model Wash makes the product equally useful for a quick shading as for the creation of caked dust and dirt around the details of the model, such as rivets and panel lines. The washes are also used as a filter, applied in a uniform manner on the model to modify the base color. Model Wash can be applied by brush and airbrush and dries very quickly so that after some 20 minutes the painting or weathering process can be continued. Painting tools are cleaned with water.
SAFETY: Model Wash is not flammable, and does not contain solvents.
PACKAGING: 35 ml bottle with a flip top/eyedropper closure.
APPLICATIONS: Model Wash Olive Green is recommended for adding shadows around rivets or recessed details on vehicles painted in Olive Green or faded Pale Green.

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
Kaolin, a fine white clay, is produced by the natural chemical weathering of aluminum silicate minerals such as feldspar. Mined in the southeast United States (primarily Georgia and Florida), kaolin is used in the manufacture of ceramics, bricks, light bulbs, cosmetics, medicines and food additives. The largest use is in the manufacturing of paper, especially in creating glossy paper. Kaolin is shipped both as a dry powder in covered hoppers and in tank cars with water as a slurry. In the slurry form the weight of water requires the tank cars be smaller capacity compared to other liquids such as ethanol and LPG. Identical tank cars are also used to haul calcium carbonate slurry, used in the making of lime and cement.
One of the more modern versions of the 16K Gallon Tank car is designed and manufactured by UTLX Manufacturing Inc (formerly Union Tank Car). The car is a 286K (referring to a 286,000 pound gross rail load limit) design with a capacity of approximately 16,000 gallons. The capacity varies slightly between UTLX and Englehard, the operators of the cars. The car is an AAR Plate C clearance car with a 111-inch I.D. tank and an overall length of 44 feet. For a complete bottom unloading the car incorporates a Funnel-Flow design. The cars are lined and kept in dedicated service to avoid cross-contamination.

Spray Can - Metallic Green (100mL)
This product is considered HAZARDOUS. Shipping restrictions may apply. This item may not be shipped by air.
Tamiya TS clear-coat spray is a synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time. The spray paint is extremely useful for painting large model surfaces. Tamiya spray paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints, therefore, following the painting of the entire assembly, details can be added or highlighted using enamel and/or acrylic paints.
Allow paint to fully cure before using clear coat. This will prevent the clear coat from cracking due to different cure rates from the paint underneath. For best results allow up to one week. Make sure to test clear coating over decals before applying to a finished project. Applying clear coat can harm some decals.
NOTE: TAMIYA TS paint is not designed to be used with clear Polycarbonate/LEXAN R/C body shells. The paint will flake off. For Polycarbonate applications please use Tamiya PS spray paint.

In the early 1980s, CN embarked on a rebuild program in their Pointe Ste. Charles shops to extend the operating lives of the GP9s. The -GP9RM- was the result, which was divided into three groups: The 4000/4100 series were rebuilt as road units, the 7000 series as switchers and the 7200/200 series as -mother- and -slug- pairs. The slugs lacked a prime mover, instead drawing power from the mother to operate the traction motors. The long hoods were cut down and ballast added to help weigh them down.
The GP9RM fleet included a chopped short hood, addition of three coloured marker lights on both ends, the bell moved to the side of the hood and the dynamic brake blister converted to intake filters. Internally, the units had upgraded 16-645C prime movers and improved electrical systems. The 4000/4100 series road units were changed to have the short hood end designated as the front, with the control stand reoriented, while the 7000/7200 switchers retained the long hood designated as the front. As with any rebuild project, there were differences from one loco to the next as well as minor changes over the ten year rebuild program. One could see these locos all across the CN North American system.
The Rapido GP9RM represents the locomotives rebuilt from the original phase II GP9 locomotives, with details corresponding to the earliest rebuilds, right on up to the last, in 1988. The biggest variation of the slug rebuilds was the use of Blomberg and Flexicoil trucks. Both variations are represented! Starting in 1994, CN applied Belt-Pack remote control systems to the 7200/200 series locomotives. Some of these new features included extra antennas and strobe lights ? all details that will be featured on the 7200 series from Rapido!

Acrylic Flat Colors - Light Blue - 3/4oz (23mL) Bottle
XF-23
Tamiya acrylic paints are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for either brush painting or air-brushing. These paints can be used on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood, plus all of the common model plastics. The paint covers well, flows smoothly and can be blended easily.
When airbrushing make sure to use any of the following Tamiya thinners: 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077
X designated colors have a glossy finish while XF designated colors are flat finish.
The paint can be also thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner. Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will yield faster drying results and a harder finish.
For better paint brushing results use Paint Retarder for a smoother brushstroke free finish.

Vallejo 73826 - Model Wash - Weathering FX - Mud and Grass - 40mL Bottle
Model Wash is a range of washes created with a unique water-based formula. The product provides the model painter with new techniques for rendering the processes of ageing and exposure to the elements. Colors with a matt finish and of high capillarity, formulated to bring forth the minute details of the panels of the model and the contrasts produced by the wear and accumulated grime caused by operative and weather exposure. The versatility of Model Wash makes the product equally useful for a quick shading as for the creation of caked dust and dirt around the details of the model, such as rivets and panel lines. The washes are also used as a filter, applied in a uniform manner on the model to modify the base color. Model Wash can be applied by brush and airbrush and dries very quickly so that after some 20 minutes the painting or weathering process can be continued. Painting tools are cleaned with water.
SAFETY: Model Wash is not flammable, and does not contain solvents.
PACKAGING: 35 ml bottle with a flip top/eyedropper closure.
APPLICATIONS: Model Wash Blue Grey is recommended for vehicles with a Panzer Grey base color, as well as all vehicles with a similar grey base.

HO Scale SD30C-ECO - DCC & Sound - Canadian Pacific #5026
The SD30C-ECOs have been delivered in two batches:
the first batch was comprised of unit numbers 5000-5019 (delivered in 2013) and the second batch included units 5020-5049. (delivered in 2015/16)
All of the SD30C-ECOs were rebuilt from -donor- SD40-2s and were given brand new pilots, fuel tanks, cabs, and noses, but retained the frames, steps, and trucks of their donor units. (as well as a great deal of the internal mechanical parts) The long hoods of the donor units were cut up and some components were spliced into the rebuild construction, so the rear-most section of the long hood containing the cooling fans and angled radiator grids is all new material but the section of the long hood between the rear wall of the cab and the back of the DB blister is retained from the donor unit. This means that there are several variations of exhaust hatches and traction motor blower ducts depending on which class of SD40-2 the donor unit came from. Most units in both orders were built from Canadian donor units and have GMD ladder-style steps and end platform handrails, but there are a few units mixed into both orders that were built from American donor units and have the angled steps and handrail profile characteristic of La Grange-built SD40-2s. Despite the unit-to-unit inconsistencies owing to the varied classes of the donor units, there are (luckily) a few spotting differences that are consistent between the two batches of rebuilds.
Units 5000-5019 are not locotrol equipped and all feature a single tubular -radome- on the cab roof that encloses all antennae. (GPS, EOT, and radio) All units from this order have standard road numbers but no additional information or lettering on the cab sides. Horns are mounted on top of the conductors side of the long hood just behind the DB fans, and the bells are located under the frame on the conductors side, just ahead of the fuel tank.

HO Slab-Side Covered Hopper - CGLX #402
Features:
Highly detailed
Prototypically accurate
Era-appropriate paint schemes and lettering
Product Information
This detailed, ready-to-run Atlas Master HO Scale Slab-Side Covered Hopper is a highly detailed model of a car that was a mainstay for hauling all kinds of granulated materials. The Atlas model of this distinctive car is available in 6, 8, and 12 hatch versions, with or without the side sill openings. The Slab-Side Covered Hopper features a detailed, injection-molded body, appropriate trucks with metal wheels, body-mounted AccuMate knuckle couplers and accurate decoration. The development of the covered hopper car for the transport of bulk commodities for the agricultural, chemical, and construction industries entered a new phase in the late 1940s, when the shops of the Canadian Pacific Railroad introduced a 70-ton, 3000 cubic foot, interior braced hopper with smooth, welded sides similar in appearance to the Canadian offset side open hoppers of the era. This -slab side- design actually maximized the interior width of the car, thereby lowering the center of gravity and improving tracking stability. Cars of this design were produced from 1950-1964 by National Steel Car Company, Canadian Car and Foundry, Marine Industries and even Montreal Locomotive Works. Over the years of production, a number of different roof hatch arrangements for product loading were available, and the openings along the side sills - an early design change made by CP to give better access to the discharge mechanisms - became standard on all cars produced after 1954. These cars were a common sight on Canadian and US rails through the late 1990s hauling grain, malt, sugar, cement, or even sand for company use.

HO MLW M420 - DCC & Sound - British Columbia (Two-Tone Stripe) #646
-NOTE:
Preliminary artwork. Subject to change or revisions before production.
The M420 was equipped with the ALCO 12V-251c3 prime mover producing 2000 H.P. Most M420 units rode on MLW ZWT (Zero
Weight- Transfer) trucks. The only exception to this were the 5 units built for the Providence & Worcester, which rode on ALCO
trade-in FA trucks. The P&W required a different bolster design and different truck spacing, making them unique.
MLW constructed 103 M420s between May 1973 and February 1977 for four railways including CN (80), BCR (16 including
eight B units), Ferrocarriles del Estado (2), Providence & Worcester (5).
CN would take delivery of the M420s in 3 groups: MR-20a class 2500-2529 (delivered 1973), MR-20b class 2530- 2559
(delivered 1974), and MR-20c class 2560-2579 (delivered 1976).
All of the CN units were retired by 1998 and today many of these locomotives have found second careers on short lines all over
North America.
The M420 Locomotive features:
3D scanned from an actual M420. This is as close to real as

These paint masks are precision cut to fit popular high quality HO scale wheel sets. It not only keeps paint off of the wheel treads leaving just the front and back wheel faces and axle exposed for color, but keeps the modeler?s hands clean as well. The mask will hold four axles and, once painted, each of its fingers can be individually pulled apart to release one wheel set at a time. Unlike cardboard masks, these will last for years! The mask is easy to assemble from 5 clear acrylic parts; a plastic solvent glue is all that is required.

HO Hyundai 48ft Exterior Post - NACS #680023
PROTOTYPE TYPE:
48ft Exterior Post containers were introduced in 1986 and were a common site on nearly all double stack container trains of the later 80s, 90s, and 2000s. These containers were used for domestic freight service and were purchased by numerous railroads and freight operators in large numbers. These containers were a unique design in which the front and side container panels were supported by aluminum channel posts mounted outside of the container box to provide additional capacity space for larger pallet stacks within the container interior. The posts are a simple spotting feature for these styles of containers. Hyundai was one of a handful of manufacturers of exterior post containers, and while nearly-identical in design to one of their competitors, the additional drainage channel on the top of the container at the head end, and full-height end corner posts differentiate this container from its competitors design. Some of these containers served secondary lives for more than one operator, leading to some interesting graphic combinations over their lifespans. Changes to over-the-road length allowances for 53ft containers and trailers brought about the eventual demise of the 48ft container and a majority of them were withdrawn from service during the mid-2000s and beyond, though limited numbers still remain in service today.
FEATURES:
Hyundai Roof Configuration Version:
A unique feature of the Hyundai design was the additional water drainage channel near the front end of the container and the forward vertical framing members that extended the full height of the container. We have modeled the detail that differentiates this container from those of other manufacturers of 48ft exterior post containers.
Sharp And Accurate Paint And Lettering:
Classonemodelworks.com provides accurate paint and lettering taken from photographs of the prototype, and numbering that matches the class numbers for each operator or railroad. Our containers come with the exterior posts already painted to match the aluminum color of the prototype containers and galvanized coloring for the upper and lower structural channels.
Accurately Dimensioned:
These containers have been accurately reproduced from hand-measured field dimensions of the actual containers, right down to every visible detail. Classonemodelorks.com stands for accuracy and we strive to provide that with every model we produce.
Accurate scale Door latching Details:
Classonemodelworks.com believes in providing models that accurately depict the prototype equipment. Keeping that as our core, we are proud to provide highly-detailed cast door locking bars, latching mechanisms, door bumpers and angled bar lifter.

HO MLW M420 - DC/DCC Ready - Canadian National (North American Scheme) #3561
-NOTE:
Preliminary artwork. Subject to change or revisions before production.
The M420 was equipped with the ALCO 12V-251c3 prime mover producing 2000 H.P. Most M420 units rode on MLW ZWT (Zero
Weight- Transfer) trucks. The only exception to this were the 5 units built for the Providence & Worcester, which rode on ALCO
trade-in FA trucks. The P&W required a different bolster design and different truck spacing, making them unique.
MLW constructed 103 M420s between May 1973 and February 1977 for four railways including CN (80), BCR (16 including
eight B units), Ferrocarriles del Estado (2), Providence & Worcester (5).
CN would take delivery of the M420s in 3 groups: MR-20a class 2500-2529 (delivered 1973), MR-20b class 2530- 2559
(delivered 1974), and MR-20c class 2560-2579 (delivered 1976).
All of the CN units were retired by 1998 and today many of these locomotives have found second careers on short lines all over
North America.
The M420 Locomotive features:
3D scanned from an actual M420. This is as close to real as
it gets!
MR-20b and MR-20c classes available in the first run

Acrylic Glossy Colors - Clear Red - 3/4oz (23mL) Bottle
X-27
Tamiya acrylic paints are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for either brush painting or air-brushing. These paints can be used on styrol resins, Styrofoam, wood, plus all of the common model plastics. The paint covers well, flows smoothly and can be blended easily.
When airbrushing make sure to use any of the following Tamiya thinners: 81020, 81030, 81040, 81520, 87077
X designated colors have a glossy finish while XF designated colors are flat finish.
The paint can be also thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner. Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will yield faster drying results and a harder finish.
For better paint brushing results use Paint Retarder for a smoother brushstroke free finish.

Spray Can - NATO Green (100mL)
This product is considered HAZARDOUS. Shipping restrictions may apply. This item may not be shipped by air.
Tamiya TS clear-coat spray is a synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time. The spray paint is extremely useful for painting large model surfaces. Tamiya spray paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints, therefore, following the painting of the entire assembly, details can be added or highlighted using enamel and/or acrylic paints.
Allow paint to fully cure before using clear coat. This will prevent the clear coat from cracking due to different cure rates from the paint underneath. For best results allow up to one week. Make sure to test clear coating over decals before applying to a finished project. Applying clear coat can harm some decals.
NOTE: TAMIYA TS paint is not designed to be used with clear Polycarbonate/LEXAN R/C body shells. The paint will flake off. For Polycarbonate applications please use Tamiya PS spray paint.

HO 4-8-4 Class FEF-2 - Sound/DC/DCC with Smoke - Union Pacific TTG w/Aluminum #827
The Northern type locomotives on the Union Pacific were built by Alco Schenectady Works in 3 classes between August 1937 and December 1944. The first class, designated FEF-1, for Four Eight Four, comprised numbers 800-819. Fitted with 77-inch drivers and a 300-pound boiler pressure, UP was impressed by their performance and took delivery of 15 additional 4-8-4 locomotives in Aug-Oct 1939, numbers 820-834. These locomotives were equipped with 80-inch drivers and larger 14-wheel centipede style tenders with a 23,500 gallon capacity and were class FEF-2. In Dec 1944, 10 additional 4-8-4 locomotives were delivered, these equipped with low-backpressure double stacks, numbered 835-844, and designated FEF-3. All three classes developed 63,800 lbs of tractive effort.
Throughout their service careers multiple modifications were made, including conversion to oil, feedwater heater systems, addition of smoke lifters (designated Wind Wings on UP drawings) and a Mars light, and replacement of stacks from singles to doubles and even triple stacks. UP 844, the final steam locomotive delivered to UP, has been in continuous service on Union Pacific since it was built in 1944; renumbered from UP 844 to UP 8444 between June 1962 and June 1989.
In this production, BLI is modeling the FEF-2 Class and also the #844 with its Mars Light. Notable features are listed below:
Accurately modeled FEF-2 double stack and triple stack - prototypically accurate for each road number
Accurately modeled turret casing
Individual side rods
Centipede-style oil tenders with finely detailed oil inserts. #844 has the Heritage Fleet containment dam, other road numbers do not.
Options for Worthington and Sellers FWH
Wind Wings on models where prototypically accurate
Prototypically accurate FEF-2 front end and pilot (except #844)

The Union Pacific acquisition of the Southern Pacific in 1996 saw the transfer of SP newly acquired AC4400CWs to a new railroad. As they were essentially brand new, there was no push to repaint these units and they existed for several years without modification. Eventually the AC4400CWs were renumbered with simple patches over the SP paint, but as this was done on a unit-by-unit basis where they were, the patches all had a measure of uniqueness.

HO Scale H1a Hudson Steam - DC/DCC Ready - Canadian Pacific (Spans the World) #2808
-Late walkway
Designed by Chief of Motive Power & Rolling Stock Henry Blane Bowen, Canadian Pacifics H1a and H1b class
4-6-4 Hudson locos were state-of-the-art steam power when delivered. A total of twenty locos were delivered
in two batches of ten each. The first batch, numbers #2800-2809, were delivered in 1929 and classified H1a. The second ten, numbers #2810-2819, were delivered in 1930 and were classified H1b. These locomotives were used on mainline passenger trains across the CPs system. So successful were they that CP used their design as the basis for its -Royal Hudsons- seven years later, which were designated as class H1c through H1d. Both classes survived intact until the end of steam, with the first retirements not coming until 1957.
Rapidos H1a/b HO scale models are based on our hugely successful Royal Hudson. We are offering several
different detail variations which allow you to model these locos at any point throughout their service life,
including the preserved #2816.

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
The 3-bay CenterFlow covered hopper first entered service in the mid-1960s, built by American Car and Foundry. The cars handle loads such as grain, corn and similar bulk commodities. The Centerflow design relies on the cars rounded body to provide structural strength - eliminating the traditional center sill, and making gravity unloading easier. Our 3-bay car represents the common 4600 cu.ft. capacity version. The railroads looking to replace their aging 40Ft box cars in grain service needed a modern hopper design - one that could operate within the tighter Plate B clearances for light branchline and industrial service. ACFs design won them many contracts from a plethora of railroads. One can find these cars still in revenue service today in grain trains and other similar service.

In 1955, Fairbanks Morse offered a new design for their existing H16-44 Phase I/II model locomotives. These changes involved raising the walkway & simplifying the short & long hood to make construction easier. Exterior-wise the locomotives looked much like their bigger brother – the H24-66 but with 4 axles instead of 6. Under the hood the locomotives were nearly identical to the earlier phases of H16-44 except for replacing the Westinghouse Electrical System with a more reliable General Electric system.
A total of 165 of the H16-44 Phase III Locomotives were built between 1955 and 1963. Locomotives for the Canadian Pacific Railway & Canadian National Railway were built by Fairbanks Morse subsidiary Canadian Locomotive Company. A total of 58 H16-44s of were built at this plant. The last H16-44 was built for the Ferrorcarril de Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad in 1963. This was the last Fairbanks Morse Locomotive to roll off the assembly line as the company folded the same year.

HO 85Ft General American G85 Flatcar - GTTX (Yellow) #300444
Product Information
WalthersMainline 85Ft General American G85 Flatcar is based on a widely used car built in the 1960s by General American. The prototypes handled 40Ft, 45Ft and 48Ft trailers and 20Ft and 40Ft containers from 1961 to the 1980s. The cars appeared in passenger consists in the 1960s hauling expedited trailers and containers, and some were used for trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC) and container-on-flatcar (COFC) service into the late 2000s. This HO Scale model is available in five different body configurations as appropriate for each roadname and era, with trailer hitches for piggyback TOFC or container pedestals for COFC service as appropriate. The 85Ft General American G85 Flatcar comes fully weighted for great performance loaded or empty, features underbody details with brake gear and is equipped with 70-ton roller bearing trucks, 33inch RP-25 turned-metal wheels and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.

Plastic-Cure Brush-On Gap Filling Cyanoacrylate Glue (.5oz)
Features:
-CA glue with a brush on applicator
-Easy to use – Brush on one surface and hold tightly for 10 seconds.
-Fast Drying!
-Bonds most plastics.
Plastic-Cure is a gap-filling formulation of CA that works best on plastics. It is packaged in a bottle with a brush built into its top, which in many cases is an easier way to apply the CA. As long as brush is put back into the bottle after use, the bristles of the brush will not harden. Care must be taken, however, not to introduce foreign material into the bottle. The brush should not be used, for example, to apply CA to wood that has been freshly sanded. Plastic-Cure will also bond wood, but its brush applicator at times will not be the best way to apply it. Plastic-Cure is superior for the application of false nails and wraps on fingernails, where its brush is the preferred method of application.

Spray Can - Bright Mica Red (100mL)
This product is considered HAZARDOUS. Shipping restrictions may apply. This item may not be shipped by air.
Tamiya TS clear-coat spray is a synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time. The spray paint is extremely useful for painting large model surfaces. Tamiya spray paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints, therefore, following the painting of the entire assembly, details can be added or highlighted using enamel and/or acrylic paints.
Allow paint to fully cure before using clear coat. This will prevent the clear coat from cracking due to different cure rates from the paint underneath. For best results allow up to one week. Make sure to test clear coating over decals before applying to a finished project. Applying clear coat can harm some decals.
NOTE: TAMIYA TS paint is not designed to be used with clear Polycarbonate/LEXAN R/C body shells. The paint will flake off. For Polycarbonate applications please use Tamiya PS spray paint.

During the late 1980s, CSX Transportation modified many of their GP40-2s into -slug mothers- that powered RDMT (CSX term, short for Road-Mate) road slugs. The -slug- is a term used for (in most cases) a secondary locomotive that has a removed/deactivated engine but kept its traction motors. The -mother- unit at slow speeds can produce enough power to provide electric current to other traction motors using the same amount of fuel consumption. The -mother- and -slug- combination can provide the power of two locomotives using a single diesel powered unit. CSX liked the results, and modified many older GP30 and GP35s into road slugs, retaining their cab controls so that they could still be operated in lead position, but without the noise from the prime mover.

Tru Color Paint - Acrylic - CSX (Y2K) Blue - 1oz
Tru-Color Railroad Color Acrylic Paint is a line of airbrush-ready paint accurately matched to colors used by railroads across the continent. The acrylic solvent based paint that is designed to be airbrushed directly from the bottle without thinning. The paint is designed for use on plastic models with no priming necessary, although you can use a primer if desired. Brass models must be sandblasted or treated before applying Tru-Color or the paint will not adhere properly. No additional gloss coat is necessary before applying decals to gloss or semi-gloss colors. Use acetone for airbrush cleanup, but do NOT thin Tru-Color Paint with acetone. Recommended airbrush pressure is 28 to 35psi. Not mixable with any other brands of paint, but can be sprayed over most fully cured colors from other manufacturers (experiment on a small section before proceeding).

Tamiya TS clear-coat spray is a synthetic lacquer that cures in a short period of time. The spray paint is extremely useful for painting large model surfaces. Tamiya spray paints are not affected by acrylic or enamel paints, therefore, following the painting of the entire assembly, details can be added or highlighted using enamel and/or acrylic paints.
Allow paint to fully cure before using clear coat. This will prevent the clear coat from cracking due to different cure rates from the paint underneath. For best results allow up to one week. Make sure to test clear coating over decals before applying to a finished project. Applying clear coat can harm some decals.
NOTE: TAMIYA TS paint is not designed to be used with clear Polycarbonate/LEXAN R/C body shells. The paint will flake off. For Polycarbonate applications please use Tamiya PS spray paint.

Details:
-All are Ready-to-Run
-Laser Sharp Painting and Printing
-36inch InterMountain Metal Wheelsets
-Metal Knuckle Couplers
Minimum Radius - 18inch
Conrail rostered a large fleet of coalporter cars. Hollidaysburg Car shops rebuilt old triple hoppers, built in the mid-1960s, into the G52H, G52L and G52R class starting in 1991.
The orange ends denote that the car was used in one of two Electronic Air Braking System (EABS) Test Trains in 1996. One train had orange painted ends and one had yellow painted ends. EABS applies the brakes to every car of a train simultaneously via an electronic brake signal, allowing a train to stop smoothly in 30-70percent less distance than traditional brake-equipped trains.
Each of the two EABS equipped trains had a device called the Head End Unit (HEU) in the lead locomotive of that train. In -full electronic- mode, which required all cars in the train to be EABS equipped, the engineer used the HEU to apply the brakes. The HEU then electronically and simultaneously transmitted this information via intercar connectors to Car Control Units (CCU), which were mounted on every cars braking system. The CCUs adjusted the brake cylinder pressure accordingly until the HEU issued a different command. Every car then braked the same amount at the same time.
When Conrail finished their testing, they removed the systems from the cars and placed the train back into regular unit coal service. Eventually, the cars were assigned to other unit coal trains and general merchandise service. They retained their orange or yellow ends, with some cars never having their Car Control Units removed.
Some of the G52L class remained in service well into the 2000s, some lasting into 2012.

Both of Canadas two major railways started piggyback (TOFC) services in the 1950s. By the late 60s early 70s this traffic had grown substantially and both railroads saw a need to purchase purpose-built flatcars that could handle both 26-foot and longer trailers, up to the then-new standard of 45-foot.
Canadian National placed a order for 283 cars with Vancouver Iron and Engineering Works (V.I.E.W.). Delivery on these cars started in 1966. They would continue in service well into the late 1980s, after a major rebuild in 1976 to a single hitch configuration which resulted in the cars being renumbered into the 688000?688184 series.
Canadian Pacific ordered a large batch of 305 cars from Marine Industries Limited (MIL) in 1972, which were delivered as road numbers 505625-505930. These cars would soldier on in service after several rebuilding programs. As well as the removal of second hitch, container pedestals were later added to many of the cars. A final group of cars were reconfigured for the Southern Ontario XpressWay service with rub-rails for the circus-style loading and unloading at terminals.

HO Scale SD30C-ECO - DCC & Sound - Canadian Pacific #5041
The SD30C-ECOs have been delivered in two batches:
the first batch was comprised of unit numbers 5000-5019 (delivered in 2013) and the second batch included units 5020-5049. (delivered in 2015/16)
All of the SD30C-ECOs were rebuilt from -donor- SD40-2s and were given brand new pilots, fuel tanks, cabs, and noses, but retained the frames, steps, and trucks of their donor units. (as well as a great deal of the internal mechanical parts) The long hoods of the donor units were cut up and some components were spliced into the rebuild construction, so the rear-most section of the long hood containing the cooling fans and angled radiator grids is all new material but the section of the long hood between the rear wall of the cab and the back of the DB blister is retained from the donor unit. This means that there are several variations of exhaust hatches and traction motor blower ducts depending on which class of SD40-2 the donor unit came from. Most units in both orders were built from Canadian donor units and have GMD ladder-style steps and end platform handrails, but there are a few units mixed into both orders that were built from American donor units and have the angled steps and handrail profile characteristic of La Grange-built SD40-2s. Despite the unit-to-unit inconsistencies owing to the varied classes of the donor units, there are (luckily) a few spotting differences that are consistent between the two batches of rebuilds.
Units 5000-5019 are not locotrol equipped and all feature a single tubular -radome- on the cab roof that encloses all antennae. (GPS, EOT, and radio) All units from this order have standard road numbers but no additional information or lettering on the cab sides. Horns are mounted on top of the conductors side of the long hood just behind the DB fans, and the bells are located under the frame on the conductors side, just ahead of the fuel tank.

HO, N, TT - LED Lighting Strip w/DCC Decoder and Red Marker Lights - Warm White
The LokSound by ESU LED Interior Lighting Strips are perfect for lighting HO and N Scale passenger car interiors operating on DCC layouts. Theyre designed for use only on track power (electrical wipers and accessories available separately). Offered with warm white (397-50708) or yellow (397-50709) LEDs they allow you to match your lighting color to your modeling era. The strips include a small potentiometer so you can adjust the brightness. For shorter cars or cabooses the strips can be cut. The red marker LEDs are on wire leads for easy placement where needed.
The integral ESU decoder supports both Motorola(R) and DCC, and also works on DC analogue layouts. The operating mode is detected automatically. In addition to the basic maximum brightness adjusted with the control knob on the lighting strip, brightness may be further adjusted by means of the software. Various prototypical lighting effects such as soft dimming, fluorescent lamp effect, faulty fluorescent lamp, battery powered lighting and many others provide realistic results. The 11 LEDs are wired in several groups, which can be switched separately. Function mapping allows you to assign the LEDs to the function button of your choice. Two additional outputs may be used for the red end-of-train lights or for directional lighting in a cab control car. All effects can also be programmed once the lighting strip has been installed and the values of your DCC LED Interior Lighting Strips can be read on a programming track.

Additionally, the Standard Railway Equipment roof received a coat of light gray paint. The prototype Illinois Terminal lettering above the cupola and the ITC with road number was applied onto thin metal placards which were bolted onto the car side and had an off-white appearance, which we have replicated this -off-white- reflective color with our graphics. Similar to our NYC offerings, our models include large (unlit) oil lanterns on one end of the caboose. The fully-painted and apportioned interior for these models includes the two tone green scheme as found in the original cabooses. Check out those double bunks as you peek through the large windows.

Prototype Information:
In 1955, Fairbanks Morse offered a new design for their existing H16-44 Phase I/II model locomotives. These changes involved raising the walkway & simplifying the short & long hood to make construction easier. Exterior-wise the locomotives looked much like their bigger brother – the H24-66 but with 4 axles instead of 6. Under the hood the locomotives were nearly identical to the earlier phases of H16-44 except for replacing the Westinghouse Electrical System with a more reliable General Electric system.
A total of 165 of the H16-44 Phase III Locomotives were built between 1955 and 1963. Locomotives for the Canadian Pacific Railway & Canadian National Railway were built by Fairbanks Morse subsidiary Canadian Locomotive Company. A total of 58 H16-44s of were built at this plant. The last H16-44 was built for the Ferrorcarril de Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad in 1963. This was the last Fairbanks Morse Locomotive to roll off the assembly line as the company folded the same year.

VIA Rail HEP 1 (2020 to Present)
Rapido is pleased to announce the Superior Stainless Budd Coaches, as well as VIA Rail HEP1 & HEP2 Coaches, in HO Scale.
All 30 Coaches were delivered to Canadian Pacific in 1954 and 1955 and were initially numbered in the 100-series under Canadian Pacific. All but one of the original coaches were transferred to VIA Rail Canada in 1978 and, save for those damaged in derailments, are all still in use today. They form the backbone of most of VIA Rail Canadas services to this day, found not only on the busy Quebec City-Windsor corridor, but on all other services across the country, including The Canadian, Ocean, Hudson Bay and northern Quebec services.
Beginning in the late 1980s, VIA Rail upgraded its entire ex CPR Budd stainless steel fleet with Head End Power (referred to as HEP), which allowed newer locomotives to be able to heat the trains without the need for aging steam generator cars. These cars are called HEP1 cars and are typically found on long-distance trains today. Many coaches and baggage cars can also be found in intercity service on the Quebec City-Windsor corridor.
Additionally, VIA Rail began purchasing second-hand Budd cars throughout 1990s from Amtrak and other second/third/forth-hand owners to supplement its fleet and allow for expansion. These cars would be completely rebuilt as either first class VIA 1 Cars or Coaches and were called HEP2 cars. These cars contain pass-through MU (multiple unit) cables and are almost exclusively found in intercity service on the Quebec City-Windsor corridor.
Our models are based on the original, steam-heated Canadian Pacific cars. However, we have tooled new HEP2 car sides as well as both HEP1 and HEP2 car ends.
Most of the Budd cars originally purchased by Canadian Pacific, as well as those bought used by VIA Rail, continue to form an integral part of both intercity and long distance services to this day. They will no doubt find a suitable use on your model railroad too.
Each Rapido Superior Stainless Coach includes:
- Realistic stainless steel finish
- HEP2 cars feature an all-new side window arrangements
- HEP1 and HEP2 cars feature all-new end tooling with HEP receptacles and cables
- HEP1 and HEP2 cars feature working end marker lights
- Track-powered interior lighting compatible with DC and DCC layouts
- Full underbody detail including separate air, steam and electrical lines
- Separate metal grab irons, stirrups and end gates

Both of Canadas two major railways started piggyback (TOFC) services in the 1950s. By the late 60s early 70s this traffic had grown substantially and both railroads saw a need to purchase purpose-built flatcars that could handle both 26-foot and longer trailers, up to the then-new standard of 45-foot.
Canadian National placed a order for 283 cars with Vancouver Iron and Engineering Works (V.I.E.W.). Delivery on these cars started in 1966. They would continue in service well into the late 1980s, after a major rebuild in 1976 to a single hitch configuration which resulted in the cars being renumbered into the 688000?688184 series.
Canadian Pacific ordered a large batch of 305 cars from Marine Industries Limited (MIL) in 1972, which were delivered as road numbers 505625-505930. These cars would soldier on in service after several rebuilding programs. As well as the removal of second hitch, container pedestals were later added to many of the cars. A final group of cars were reconfigured for the Southern Ontario XpressWay service with rub-rails for the circus-style loading and unloading at terminals.

In 1960, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad merged with the Erie Railroad to form Erie-Lackawanna. The Erie had owned a sizeable number of EMD GP7s, which were all less than 10 years old at the time of the merger and still giving good service. Rather than spend precious money to repaint these units immediately, the EL decided to retain the Erie paint scheme, but omitted the -wings- on the ends of the units and added their own logos. The units continued in this guise until the mid-to-late 1960s when most were repainted in the grey-and-maroon EL scheme.

HO Norfolk Southern G41A Repaint 1976 w/o Hoods PRR Shops G41A Coil Car
NS GP67 Repaint 2005+ is an exciting release for us. NS rebuilt some of their G41A cars around 2000 and placed them in the GP67 class. These rebuilds were changed from 6 troughs to 5 troughs to accommodate larger diameter coils. This major change, along with yellow trough bracing, makes these cars really stand out in the crowd. The Tangent offering picks up in 2005+, where the NS cars have received their conspicuity stripes. The troughs received not-so-subtle wide white stripes down the centerline of the car to assist loading. If you read the data carefully, you will find accurate 50 Year Life Extension stenciling and painted diamonds labeling the cars for HOT steel coil service. The 125-Ton trucks feature NS reporting mark and car numbers along with 38in wheels and rotating Timken caps. These are some HOT cars for the modern era.

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
Trinity Steel was founded by C. J. Bender in Dallas in 1933. The company didnt enter into the railroad freight car market until 1984, when Trinity acquired the railcar designs and production facilities of the Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Company, once the largest railcar manufacturer in North America. That same year Trinity also acquired the railcar designs of General American Transportation Corporation. In 1986 the rail car designs and production facilities of Greenville Steel Car Company were purchased, including the auto rack designs of Portec-Paragon. Also acquired in 1986 were the railcar designs of North American Car Corporation, and in 1987 Ortner Freight Car was acquired.
With this collective experience across several facilities, Trinity developed many new designs that became ubiquitous to present day railroading. One of their most famous designs is the 3-bay 5161cuft covered hopper. This covered hopper is optimized to transport agricultural products, sugar, dry chemicals, or other similar products and can be seen in unit train assignments all over North America. Introduced around 1995, these cars are extremely common today and owned by many Class 1 and short line railroads alike.
