Prototype Information:
The SD50Fs were built by General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in two batches ? in 1985 and 1987, respectively. It is the Canadian variant of the EMD SD50 six-axle diesel-electric freight locomotive. Nicknamed the ?Draper Taper? after CN?s Chief of Motive Power at the time, it has a full-width cowl body and cab, with a tapered section immediately behind the cab for improved rear visibility. A total of 60 units were built, all for the Canadian National Railway. They saw extensive mainline freight service on the CN network across Canada and in the United States. They were retired by CN in 2008. A limited number of locomotives still operate today with second-hand owners.
The SD50AFs were built General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in 1985. They were effectively ?demonstrator? SD60F units with the then-new 710 prime mover installed in place of the 645 used on the SD50 series. A total of 4 units were built for the Canadian National Railway. Initially numbered CN 9900-9903, they were renumbered to CN 5500-5503 by 1989. All 4 units were retired by CN in 2017. Units 5500 and 5501 still operate today with the Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad in the United States.

HO MLW M420 - DCC & Sound - Providence & Worcester (As Delivered) #2001
-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.

HO 4-6-6-4 Steam Challenger - DCC & Sound - Union Pacific (TTG) #3997
Detailed Information
Union Pacific
In the spring of 1941 UP locomotive designers began working on a locomotive to team up with the new 4-8-8-4 Big Boys then under construction at Alco. The Big Boys were designed to pull heavy freights up the Wasatch Range in Utah to the division point at Green River, WY. What was needed was a locomotive to take over at that point that could speed the freights eastward across the Wyoming Division. Building on their experience with the original CSA 4-6-6-4 Challengers UP and Alcos designers developed a newer and better Challenger type locomotive. The result was a group of 65 4-6-6-4 Challenger built in three separate groups during World War II.

HO 4-8-4 Class FEF-2 - Sound/DC/DCC with Smoke - Union Pacific TTG w/Yellow #829
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

HO Scale SD30C-ECO - DC/DCC Ready - Canadian Pacific #5047
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 MLW M420 A/B Set - DCC & Sound - British Columbia (Lightning Stripe) #645, 688
-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

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
The GP38-2 series of locomotives were some of EMD’s most successful designs. Produced from 1970s to mid 1980s the GP38-2 and GP50 were quickly found in many different tasks of the railroad. From switching to pulling high priority freight trains across country, these versatile locomotives could be seen all over North America. Many of these locomotives are now being rebuilt with ecologically sound emission control for higher population centers. A new era emerges as technology meets proven reliability for these EMD products.

Rapido is happy to announce the next in their series of classic General Electric locomotives, the C30-7 in HO scale.
The C30-7 was General Electrics improvement of the U30C locomotive, featuring a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower diesel engine. Built between September 1976 and May 1986, over 1100 units were produced for many of the Class I railroads across the United States for use primarily in heavy-haul freight. A fair number would go on to have extended careers with both short/regional lines and private industrial railroads, owing to the locomotives reliability and pulling power.
It is, perhaps, the most polarizing locomotive from the 1980s and early 90s. The C30-7 was GEs answer to the SD40-2. When one thinks of Powder River and coal, the C30-7 isnt far behind. Burlington Northern owned the most in the States, with just over 240 examples. Santa Fe was a distant second with 157 C30s.
The C30-7 later gave way to the similar C36-7, as well as various unique models such as the Conrail C30-7A and the BC Rail C36-8m, rebuilt from former Conrail C30-7s.

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.

Prototype Information:
The SD50Fs were built by General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in two batches ? in 1985 and 1987, respectively. It is the Canadian variant of the EMD SD50 six-axle diesel-electric freight locomotive. Nicknamed the ?Draper Taper? after CN?s Chief of Motive Power at the time, it has a full-width cowl body and cab, with a tapered section immediately behind the cab for improved rear visibility. A total of 60 units were built, all for the Canadian National Railway. They saw extensive mainline freight service on the CN network across Canada and in the United States. They were retired by CN in 2008. A limited number of locomotives still operate today with second-hand owners.
The SD50AFs were built General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in 1985. They were effectively ?demonstrator? SD60F units with the then-new 710 prime mover installed in place of the 645 used on the SD50 series. A total of 4 units were built for the Canadian National Railway. Initially numbered CN 9900-9903, they were renumbered to CN 5500-5503 by 1989. All 4 units were retired by CN in 2017. Units 5500 and 5501 still operate today with the Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad in the United States.

Conrail ordered 100 GP15-1s in 1979. Intended for secondary and branch line trains, they featured snowplows on both ends for bidirectional use. Signal boxes were also standard equipment, allowing the GP15s to be used for road service when required. Most survived till the end of Conrail in 1998. They then joined the NS and CSX locomotive fleets with many retaining their Conrail blue and white paint with NS or CSX patches.

PRLX features:
All PRLX locomotives are Primed for Grime with road numberspecific patches and fading
Many of BNSFs SD75Ms were in storage by 2014-2015. The 20plus year old units were definately past their prime at this point, however, most of them still had a future. Norfolk Southern bought a total of seven units, to become NS 2800-2806. In addition, Progress Rail Leasing (PRLX) bought a large group of the units. They arrived to PRLX wearing several paint schemes, including the Santa Fe Warbonnet as well as BNSFs Heritage II paint. The units were hastily patched and placed into service, as of this writing they are leased to CN and KCS, but future leasing assignments are likely.
Primed for grime models feature:
Duplicated look and feel of -In Service- equipment, -Tattered and Torn- just like the real thing
Faded base colors matched to the prototype
Patches applied and shaped per roadnumber matching each corresponding side to the prototype
Perfect starting point for adding grime and rust
HO Scale H1a Hudson Steam - DCC & Sound - Canadian Pacific (Beaver Shield) #2806
-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

Rapido is happy to announce the next in their series of classic General Electric locomotives, the C30-7 in HO scale.
The C30-7 was General Electrics improvement of the U30C locomotive, featuring a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower diesel engine. Built between September 1976 and May 1986, over 1100 units were produced for many of the Class I railroads across the United States for use primarily in heavy-haul freight. A fair number would go on to have extended careers with both short/regional lines and private industrial railroads, owing to the locomotives reliability and pulling power.
It is, perhaps, the most polarizing locomotive from the 1980s and early 90s. The C30-7 was GEs answer to the SD40-2. When one thinks of Powder River and coal, the C30-7 isnt far behind. Burlington Northern owned the most in the States, with just over 240 examples. Santa Fe was a distant second with 157 C30s.
The C30-7 later gave way to the similar C36-7, as well as various unique models such as the Conrail C30-7A and the BC Rail C36-8m, rebuilt from former Conrail C30-7s.

SPECIFICATIONS:
DCC: Ready/21-Pin NEM
PROTOTYPE MANUFACTURER: EMD
Axles: 6
LIGHTED: LED Lighting
PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
In 1984, Electro-Motive (EMD) introduced the 60 series locomotive. These had many improvements over the earlier models including features such as: New and improved EMD 710 power plant producing 3600 HP, wheel slip control, computerized cabinet replacing the older and unreliable components.
This design spawned into many other upgrades within its class like the modernized wide cab, Isolated cab, and even the start of AC traction technology.
These locomotives were suited for just about any mainline service that could be thrown at them. The model was fairly popular with class one railroads, with Norfolk Southern purchasing the most at 151 units. Most of them are still in service today. Norfolk Southern in 2010 started a large full rebuild program of their SD60s (including purchasing cores from other sources) into SD60Es, which rebuilt them from the frame up with new electrical components and a newly designed cab to improve visibility and forward crash impact safety.
HO SD90MAC-H Phase I - DCC Ready - Union Pacific #8520

#8509, #8512, and #8520 are modeled with the starter capacitor removed and the EOT mounted further forward on the fuel tank.
Union Pacific became the only buyer of the SD90MAC-H, known to them as SD90AC, when Canadian Pacific transferred their order to the Phase 2 variant. The first 7 were considered pre-production units and wore 2-3 numbers during their lifetime. The 8500 series we are offering represents the second and third order of SD90MAC-Hs that were delivered between 1997-1999 and before their final renumbering to the 8900 series.

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.

HO 4-6-6-4 Steam Challenger - DCC & Sound - Union Pacific (Modern) #3985
Detailed Information
Union Pacific
In the spring of 1941 UP locomotive designers began working on a locomotive to team up with the new 4-8-8-4 Big Boys then under construction at Alco. The Big Boys were designed to pull heavy freights up the Wasatch Range in Utah to the division point at Green River, WY. What was needed was a locomotive to take over at that point that could speed the freights eastward across the Wyoming Division. Building on their experience with the original CSA 4-6-6-4 Challengers UP and Alcos designers developed a newer and better Challenger type locomotive. The result was a group of 65 4-6-6-4 Challenger built in three separate groups during World War II.

HO Scale SD30C-ECO - DC/DCC Ready - Canadian Pacific #5013
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.

Sound-equipped units feature ESU Loksound V5 decoders
Rapido is happy to announce the next in their series of classic General Electric locomotives, the C30-7 in HO scale.
The C30-7 was General Electrics improvement of the U30C locomotive, featuring a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower diesel engine. Built between September 1976 and May 1986, over 1100 units were produced for many of the Class I railroads across the United States for use primarily in heavy-haul freight. A fair number would go on to have extended careers with both short/regional lines and private industrial railroads, owing to the locomotives reliability and pulling power.
It is, perhaps, the most polarizing locomotive from the 1980s and early 90s. The C30-7 was GEs answer to the SD40-2. When one thinks of Powder River and coal, the C30-7 isnt far behind. Burlington Northern owned the most in the States, with just over 240 examples. Santa Fe was a distant second with 157 C30s.
The C30-7 later gave way to the similar C36-7, as well as various unique models such as the Conrail C30-7A and the BC Rail C36-8m, rebuilt from former Conrail C30-7s.

Continuing upon the successful SD60-series, in 1992 EMD debuted the next step in locomotive evolution with the SD70-series. While outwardly similar at first glance to the SD60M, the D.C.-drive SD70M featured several external design refinements from the predecessor model. Battery boxes were relocated to the left-hand side walkway immediately behind the cab, a large, boxy forward traction motor blower housing replaced the angular version used on SD60s, the raised walkway duct on the left hand walkway was eliminated, and an intake for the rear traction motor blower on the left hand side of the carbody, directly under the rear radiator intake grill, was added.
Internally, the SD70 boasted improvements as well; a 16-710GB prime mover, rated at 4,000hp, was coupled to a new alternator design, the AR20. New D70TR traction motors were standard, and controlling all of this power and locomotive function was EMD’s new EM2000 microprocessor, which boasted more memory, twice the processing speed, and improved locomotive self-diagnostic capabilities compared to the processor suite used in the SD60. Even more revolutionary was the inclusion of EMD’s patented “Radial†truck design, the HTC-R. This design, which made its debut under EMD Demo SD60 #3, replaced the venerable HT-C truck, and is unique in its ability to shift, or “steerâ€, the wheelsets laterally through curves, resulting in greatly reduced wheelset and track wear, and coupled with the new D70TR traction motors and EM2000 microprocessor, greatly improved adhesion.
Continuing with previous practice, EMD built a set of Demonstrator SD70Ms, EMD 7000-7002, all equipped with the North American safety-cab (hence the “M†in their model designation), and decked out in an attractive gray, silver, and burgundy paint scheme. These units travelled all over North America, showing off the latest technology from EMD. Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and eventually Norfolk Southern would sign up for the SD70M models. Although NS started out with the “Spartan†cab SD70, they eventually returned for the SD70M model. By 2004 the SD70M began to be delivered with the familiar “flared†radiator grilles. Both NS and UP have examples of these locomotives on their roster, and you can still find most of the entire fleet of SD70Ms in regular service today.

SPECIFICATIONS:
DCC: Equipped with Econami2
PROTOTYPE MANUFACTURER: EMD
Axles: 6
LIGHTED: LED Lighting
PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
In 1984, Electro-Motive (EMD) introduced the 60 series locomotive. These had many improvements over the earlier models including features such as: New and improved EMD 710 power plant producing 3600 HP, wheel slip control, computerized cabinet replacing the older and unreliable components.
This design spawned into many other upgrades within its class like the modernized wide cab, Isolated cab, and even the start of AC traction technology.
These locomotives were suited for just about any mainline service that could be thrown at them. The model was fairly popular with class one railroads, with Norfolk Southern purchasing the most at 151 units. Most of them are still in service today. Norfolk Southern in 2010 started a large full rebuild program of their SD60s (including purchasing cores from other sources) into SD60Es, which rebuilt them from the frame up with new electrical components and a newly designed cab to improve visibility and forward crash impact safety.

The GP38. That -other- Geep youve been waiting for! At long last there is a proto-specific, dynamically detailed, Electro-Motive
General Purpose -38- class locomotive. And it only took 50 years since the last straight 38 rolled out of La Grange, Illinois. This
venerable locomotive packed 2,000 hp, low or high short hoods and paved the way for future -GP- models to follow. 706 of these
four-axle beasts were manufactured at EMDs La Grange Plant, at the heart of railroad world. Of the 706 built, Penn Central, B&O
and Southern were the largest purchasers of this model. Southerns were unique in that they continued an age-old tradition of
ordering high short hoods for added crew safety. Their eye-pleasing black, white and gold striping along with their harmonious
Nathan P horns certainly made them fan favorites.
By the 90s, many GP38s were worn down and ready for a rebuild. Many roads either sold them to leasing companies or elected
to rebuild them to Dash 2 standards, some chopping the high hoods down. With the reduction of many four-axle locomotives on
class one rosters, many of these locomotives can still be found racking up miles on regional roads and shortlines. In fact, even some
tourist and museums have GP38s!

Part of BNSFs order in 1999, these were originally painted in the -Heritage 2- scheme from the factory. Over time with normal wear and tear, these units paint began to fade. As they got outshopped for major repairs, some were repainted into BNSFs current -Wedge- scheme. It was also common to see different variations of paint and parts used. Air conditioners and antennas were commonly changed out over time as seen on other equipment. We offer these variations based on collected research photos.

The GP38. That -other- Geep youve been waiting for! At long last there is a proto-specific, dynamically detailed, Electro-Motive
General Purpose -38- class locomotive. And it only took 50 years since the last straight 38 rolled out of La Grange, Illinois. This
venerable locomotive packed 2,000 hp, low or high short hoods and paved the way for future -GP- models to follow. 706 of these
four-axle beasts were manufactured at EMDs La Grange Plant, at the heart of railroad world. Of the 706 built, Penn Central, B&O
and Southern were the largest purchasers of this model. Southerns were unique in that they continued an age-old tradition of
ordering high short hoods for added crew safety. Their eye-pleasing black, white and gold striping along with their harmonious
Nathan P horns certainly made them fan favorites.
By the 90s, many GP38s were worn down and ready for a rebuild. Many roads either sold them to leasing companies or elected
to rebuild them to Dash 2 standards, some chopping the high hoods down. With the reduction of many four-axle locomotives on
class one rosters, many of these locomotives can still be found racking up miles on regional roads and shortlines. In fact, even some
tourist and museums have GP38s!

HO MLW M420 A/B Set - DCC & Sound - BC Rail (Red/White/Blue) #647, 686
-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.

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
During the early-1990s, EMD teamed-up with German engineering company Siemens to produce a freight locomotive that was capable of providing AC-traction drive currents, and thus providing a high-horsepower rating and lower fuel consumption for railroads which had an ever-increasing demand for saving fuel consumption by using a lesser amount of units to haul most of their trains.
The EMD SD70MAC was first introduced in early 1993, and began production later-on during the same year after numerous tests and improvements were made. Since then, the EMD SD70MAC has been a staple of heavy freight lines across the country.

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.

Rapido is happy to announce the next in their series of classic General Electric locomotives, the C30-7 in HO scale.
The C30-7 was General Electrics improvement of the U30C locomotive, featuring a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower diesel engine. Built between September 1976 and May 1986, over 1100 units were produced for many of the Class I railroads across the United States for use primarily in heavy-haul freight. A fair number would go on to have extended careers with both short/regional lines and private industrial railroads, owing to the locomotives reliability and pulling power.
It is, perhaps, the most polarizing locomotive from the 1980s and early 90s. The C30-7 was GEs answer to the SD40-2. When one thinks of Powder River and coal, the C30-7 isnt far behind. Burlington Northern owned the most in the States, with just over 240 examples. Santa Fe was a distant second with 157 C30s.
The C30-7 later gave way to the similar C36-7, as well as various unique models such as the Conrail C30-7A and the BC Rail C36-8m, rebuilt from former Conrail C30-7s.

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.

HO Scale SD30C-ECO - DCC & Sound - Canadian Pacific #5009
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 MLW M420 A/B Set - DC/DCC Ready - BC Rail (Red/White/Blue) #641, 681
-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.

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
The GP38-2 series of locomotives were some of EMDs most successful designs. Produced from 1970s to mid 1980s the GP38-2 and GP50 were quickly found in many different tasks of the railroad. From switching to pulling high priority freight trains across country, these versatile locomotives could be seen all over North America. Many of these locomotives are now being rebuilt with ecologically sound emission control for higher population centers. A new era emerges as technology meets proven reliability for these EMD products.

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!

BAR was an early supporter of EMDs road switcher concept, purchasing 12 GP7s in late 1949 and another 4 in 1952. Starting in the early 1960s, the units were repainted in a simplified solid blue scheme. The former BAR 73 was selected in 1975 to receive a colorful scheme of red, white, and blue to commemorate the nations Bicentennial. The unit carried the name Jeremiah OBrien, a Maine patriot, and a new number, 1776. The BAR GP7s were true travelers, being leased to the PRR starting in 1951 to assist with summer ore traffic, an agreement which lasted through the Penn Central era. They were also leased to the LV and LIRR to assist with power shortages on those roads.

Continuing upon the successful SD60-series, in 1992 EMD debuted the next step in locomotive evolution with the SD70-series. While outwardly similar at first glance to the SD60M, the D.C.-drive SD70M featured several external design refinements from the predecessor model. Battery boxes were relocated to the left-hand side walkway immediately behind the cab, a large, boxy forward traction motor blower housing replaced the angular version used on SD60s, the raised walkway duct on the left hand walkway was eliminated, and an intake for the rear traction motor blower on the left hand side of the carbody, directly under the rear radiator intake grill, was added.
Internally, the SD70 boasted improvements as well; a 16-710GB prime mover, rated at 4,000hp, was coupled to a new alternator design, the AR20. New D70TR traction motors were standard, and controlling all of this power and locomotive function was EMD’s new EM2000 microprocessor, which boasted more memory, twice the processing speed, and improved locomotive self-diagnostic capabilities compared to the processor suite used in the SD60. Even more revolutionary was the inclusion of EMD’s patented “Radial†truck design, the HTC-R. This design, which made its debut under EMD Demo SD60 #3, replaced the venerable HT-C truck, and is unique in its ability to shift, or “steerâ€, the wheelsets laterally through curves, resulting in greatly reduced wheelset and track wear, and coupled with the new D70TR traction motors and EM2000 microprocessor, greatly improved adhesion.
Continuing with previous practice, EMD built a set of Demonstrator SD70Ms, EMD 7000-7002, all equipped with the North American safety-cab (hence the “M†in their model designation), and decked out in an attractive gray, silver, and burgundy paint scheme. These units travelled all over North America, showing off the latest technology from EMD. Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and eventually Norfolk Southern would sign up for the SD70M models. Although NS started out with the “Spartan†cab SD70, they eventually returned for the SD70M model. By 2004 the SD70M began to be delivered with the familiar “flared†radiator grilles. Both NS and UP have examples of these locomotives on their roster, and you can still find most of the entire fleet of SD70Ms in regular service today.

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!

HO MLW M420 - DCC Ready- Ontario Southland Railway(Red/White/Blue) #647 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!

The GP38. That -other- Geep youve been waiting for! At long last there is a proto-specific, dynamically detailed, Electro-Motive
General Purpose -38- class locomotive. And it only took 50 years since the last straight 38 rolled out of La Grange, Illinois. This
venerable locomotive packed 2,000 hp, low or high short hoods and paved the way for future -GP- models to follow. 706 of these
four-axle beasts were manufactured at EMDs La Grange Plant, at the heart of railroad world. Of the 706 built, Penn Central, B&O
and Southern were the largest purchasers of this model. Southerns were unique in that they continued an age-old tradition of
ordering high short hoods for added crew safety. Their eye-pleasing black, white and gold striping along with their harmonious
Nathan P horns certainly made them fan favorites.
By the 90s, many GP38s were worn down and ready for a rebuild. Many roads either sold them to leasing companies or elected
to rebuild them to Dash 2 standards, some chopping the high hoods down. With the reduction of many four-axle locomotives on
class one rosters, many of these locomotives can still be found racking up miles on regional roads and shortlines. In fact, even some
tourist and museums have GP38s!

Prototype Information:
The SD50Fs were built by General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in two batches ? in 1985 and 1987, respectively. It is the Canadian variant of the EMD SD50 six-axle diesel-electric freight locomotive. Nicknamed the ?Draper Taper? after CN?s Chief of Motive Power at the time, it has a full-width cowl body and cab, with a tapered section immediately behind the cab for improved rear visibility. A total of 60 units were built, all for the Canadian National Railway. They saw extensive mainline freight service on the CN network across Canada and in the United States. They were retired by CN in 2008. A limited number of locomotives still operate today with second-hand owners.
The SD50AFs were built General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in 1985. They were effectively ?demonstrator? SD60F units with the then-new 710 prime mover installed in place of the 645 used on the SD50 series. A total of 4 units were built for the Canadian National Railway. Initially numbered CN 9900-9903, they were renumbered to CN 5500-5503 by 1989. All 4 units were retired by CN in 2017. Units 5500 and 5501 still operate today with the Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad in the United States.

An earlier purchaser of the AC4400CW, the units purchased by Chicago & Northwestern were again dressed in the attractive -Lighting Stripe- paint scheme, but now with the addition of an Operation Lifesaver decoration on the long hood. The AC traction paired well with the long heavy coal trains CNW was pulling out of the Powder River Basin. Many of these units lasted well after the UP acquisition of CNW in their original paint or with minor patching. These early versions rode on the first iteration of the Hi-Adhesion trucks with struts on all four corners of each trucks that were both shorter and inboard of the brake cylinders compared to later variations.

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.

When the Union Pacific absorbed the Southern Pacific in 1996, a number of SD45T-2 diesels started parting ranks from the parent railroad. While the MRL or the SRY never owned the SD45T-2, there was a time where the railfan community was hopeful that these rag-tag units would find their way to the MRL. Former SP EMD 20-cyl diesels had made it to the MRL in the early 1990s, making this scenario plausible. In the summer of 2004 a group of NREX SD45T-2s were being stored in Livingston, MT. further fueling the hopes of railfans.
As some MRL power migrated to the SRY, it could have been possible that the SRY brought an ex MRL SD45T-2 diesel into British Columbia. While none of this happened in real, model railroading allows for bending the rules a bit and admiring what could have been.

SP FEATURES:
Nathan P3 Horn
Signal lights per road number
Large fuel tank
Dynamic brakes
Whip antenna
During the 1970s, SP went on an ambitious task to rebuild their GP9 fleet, known as the -GRIP- program. This program included new wiring, new main generator, complete rebuild of the prime mover with new parts, improved battery box doors, and removed rear light packages (in some cases). A small batch of GP9s were renumbered into the 2868-2899 class. Demoted to -switchers- in order to save maintenance costs, this class included rebuilt and non rebuilt units.
We are offering #2873, which retained its full light package on both ends. #2873 currently enjoys its retirement at a Northern California museum. It may be the last locomotives in this scheme still operating. Out of the large batch of SP GP9Es, only 9 were painted into these colors.

HO EMD F40PH Ph2 w/ditch lights - DCC Ready - AMT Montreal Transit #274
Amtraks second F40PH order incorporated several changes to the original Phase 1 design. Phase 2a and 2b units (230-279, 280-328) received larger 1800-gallon fuel tanks mounted toward the front of the frame. The air reservoirs were shifted toward the rear and to the engineers side, while the battery boxes were located on the firemans side. Newer and wider Nathan K5LA horns were specified, requiring a wider horn notch on the cab roof. Units 280-328 (termed Phase 2b) had four vertical ribs at the rear of each side.
When new EPA regulations took effect in 1980, the radiator fans were replaced by quieter Q-fans creating the Phase 3 version of the F40PH. Phase 3 F40s share other spotting features with the Phase 2b F40. Many Phase 3 units were built for commuter agencies as well, but without dynamic brakes.
Amtraks F40PH units were eventually fitted with nose ditch lights. Around the same time the cab side steps and door were modified. Several F40PH units were sold to second-hand owners for use in regional and tourist services.
Rapido will offer both versions of the Phase 2b – original and ditch light-equipped with modified cab details – as well as a non-dynamic brake Phase 3 commuter unit.

GP15-1 - DCC Ready - Chicago North Western No.4405
In the mid-1970s EMD developed the new GP15-1 model in an
effort to offer their customers a replacement for their medium sized
road switchers which were wearing out. Many railroads (i.e. ATSF,
SP & ICG) were rebuilding their older road switchers and EMD
wanted to offer them a different option. Unfortunately there were not
a lot of takers and only 310 units were built for US railroads. This
small 1,500 horsepower unit came with a radiator intake section
similar in appearance to the special one that EMD was using on
the larger SD40/45T-2 models being produced for the Rio Grande
and Southern Pacific to alleviate overheating issues in their many
tunnels. Railfans dubbed these lager units Tunnel Motors which
led to the smaller GP15-1s receiving the moniker -Baby Tunnel
motors.- Many GP15-1s remain in service today for major Class 1
railroads, regional railroads and shortlines.

HO Scale H1b Hudson Steam - DCC & Sound - Canadian Pacific (Delivery) #2816
-Early walkway w/smoke deflectors
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.

The GP38. That -other- Geep youve been waiting for! At long last there is a proto-specific, dynamically detailed, Electro-Motive
General Purpose -38- class locomotive. And it only took 50 years since the last straight 38 rolled out of La Grange, Illinois. This
venerable locomotive packed 2,000 hp, low or high short hoods and paved the way for future -GP- models to follow. 706 of these
four-axle beasts were manufactured at EMDs La Grange Plant, at the heart of railroad world. Of the 706 built, Penn Central, B&O
and Southern were the largest purchasers of this model. Southerns were unique in that they continued an age-old tradition of
ordering high short hoods for added crew safety. Their eye-pleasing black, white and gold striping along with their harmonious
Nathan P horns certainly made them fan favorites.
By the 90s, many GP38s were worn down and ready for a rebuild. Many roads either sold them to leasing companies or elected
to rebuild them to Dash 2 standards, some chopping the high hoods down. With the reduction of many four-axle locomotives on
class one rosters, many of these locomotives can still be found racking up miles on regional roads and shortlines. In fact, even some
tourist and museums have GP38s!

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.

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
The GP38-2 series of locomotives were some of EMD’s most successful designs. Produced from 1970s to mid 1980s the GP38-2 and GP50 were quickly found in many different tasks of the railroad. From switching to pulling high priority freight trains across country, these versatile locomotives could be seen all over North America. Many of these locomotives are now being rebuilt with ecologically sound emission control for higher population centers. A new era emerges as technology meets proven reliability for these EMD products.

Rapido is happy to announce the next in their series of classic General Electric locomotives, the C30-7 in HO scale.
The C30-7 was General Electrics improvement of the U30C locomotive, featuring a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower diesel engine. Built between September 1976 and May 1986, over 1100 units were produced for many of the Class I railroads across the United States for use primarily in heavy-haul freight. A fair number would go on to have extended careers with both short/regional lines and private industrial railroads, owing to the locomotives reliability and pulling power.
It is, perhaps, the most polarizing locomotive from the 1980s and early 90s. The C30-7 was GEs answer to the SD40-2. When one thinks of Powder River and coal, the C30-7 isnt far behind. Burlington Northern owned the most in the States, with just over 240 examples. Santa Fe was a distant second with 157 C30s.
The C30-7 later gave way to the similar C36-7, as well as various unique models such as the Conrail C30-7A and the BC Rail C36-8m, rebuilt from former Conrail C30-7s.

Continuing upon the successful SD60-series, in 1992 EMD debuted the next step in locomotive evolution with the SD70-series. While outwardly similar at first glance to the SD60M, the D.C.-drive SD70M featured several external design refinements from the predecessor model. Battery boxes were relocated to the left-hand side walkway immediately behind the cab, a large, boxy forward traction motor blower housing replaced the angular version used on SD60s, the raised walkway duct on the left hand walkway was eliminated, and an intake for the rear traction motor blower on the left hand side of the carbody, directly under the rear radiator intake grill, was added.
Internally, the SD70 boasted improvements as well; a 16-710GB prime mover, rated at 4,000hp, was coupled to a new alternator design, the AR20. New D70TR traction motors were standard, and controlling all of this power and locomotive function was EMD’s new EM2000 microprocessor, which boasted more memory, twice the processing speed, and improved locomotive self-diagnostic capabilities compared to the processor suite used in the SD60. Even more revolutionary was the inclusion of EMD’s patented “Radial†truck design, the HTC-R. This design, which made its debut under EMD Demo SD60 #3, replaced the venerable HT-C truck, and is unique in its ability to shift, or “steerâ€, the wheelsets laterally through curves, resulting in greatly reduced wheelset and track wear, and coupled with the new D70TR traction motors and EM2000 microprocessor, greatly improved adhesion.
Continuing with previous practice, EMD built a set of Demonstrator SD70Ms, EMD 7000-7002, all equipped with the North American safety-cab (hence the “M†in their model designation), and decked out in an attractive gray, silver, and burgundy paint scheme. These units travelled all over North America, showing off the latest technology from EMD. Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and eventually Norfolk Southern would sign up for the SD70M models. Although NS started out with the “Spartan†cab SD70, they eventually returned for the SD70M model. By 2004 the SD70M began to be delivered with the familiar “flared†radiator grilles. Both NS and UP have examples of these locomotives on their roster, and you can still find most of the entire fleet of SD70Ms in regular service today.

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
The GP38-2 series of locomotives were some of EMDs most successful designs. Produced from 1970s to mid 1980s the GP38-2 and GP50 were quickly found in many different tasks of the railroad. From switching to pulling high priority freight trains across country, these versatile locomotives could be seen all over North America. Many of these locomotives are now being rebuilt with ecologically sound emission control for higher population centers. A new era emerges as technology meets proven reliability for these EMD products.

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
In the decade between 1974 and 1984, EMD produced the GP39-2 for seven North American railroads. The basic design followed most four axle road diesel switchers for the time. Borrowing improvements from the GP38-2 and GP40-2 designs, this mid-horsepower road switcher utilized a turbocharged 12-cylinder EMD 645E3 diesel engine for its prime mover. With 4 fewer cylinders, the smaller engine provided a distinctive long hood on the phase II and phase III bodies, where the clean room/engine compartment doors were set back from the cab further than predecessor locomotives.
Sensitivity to fuel economy in the 1970s justified the GP39-2 in the locomotive market. It also laid the ground work for EMD to start exploring locomotive designs that utilize engines with larger piston displacement yet possess fewer cylinders. This approach has become the foundation to modern locomotive technology.

Expert approved art
Between 1955 and 1957 C&O bought 363 GP9s. These units were the backbone of the fleet, used on both road trains as well as local service. In the mid 60s C&O adopted a new simplified paint scheme with the large C&O initials on the long hood. Although the purchase of newer high horsepower units displaced many GP9s to secondary service, most of the fleet soldiered on into the mid 80s. Many units were retired in this version of C&O dress. These road numbers lasted into the mid 1980s which allow the widest range of modelers to benefit from this release.

HO MLW M420 A/B Set - DC/DCC Ready - BC Rail (Red/White/Blue) #647, 686
-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).

Sound-equipped units feature ESU Loksound V5 decoders
Rapido is happy to announce the next in their series of classic General Electric locomotives, the C30-7 in HO scale.
The C30-7 was General Electrics improvement of the U30C locomotive, featuring a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower diesel engine. Built between September 1976 and May 1986, over 1100 units were produced for many of the Class I railroads across the United States for use primarily in heavy-haul freight. A fair number would go on to have extended careers with both short/regional lines and private industrial railroads, owing to the locomotives reliability and pulling power.
It is, perhaps, the most polarizing locomotive from the 1980s and early 90s. The C30-7 was GEs answer to the SD40-2. When one thinks of Powder River and coal, the C30-7 isnt far behind. Burlington Northern owned the most in the States, with just over 240 examples. Santa Fe was a distant second with 157 C30s.
The C30-7 later gave way to the similar C36-7, as well as various unique models such as the Conrail C30-7A and the BC Rail C36-8m, rebuilt from former Conrail C30-7s.

Prototype Information:
The SD50Fs were built by General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in two batches ? in 1985 and 1987, respectively. It is the Canadian variant of the EMD SD50 six-axle diesel-electric freight locomotive. Nicknamed the ?Draper Taper? after CN?s Chief of Motive Power at the time, it has a full-width cowl body and cab, with a tapered section immediately behind the cab for improved rear visibility. A total of 60 units were built, all for the Canadian National Railway. They saw extensive mainline freight service on the CN network across Canada and in the United States. They were retired by CN in 2008. A limited number of locomotives still operate today with second-hand owners.
The SD50AFs were built General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in 1985. They were effectively ?demonstrator? SD60F units with the then-new 710 prime mover installed in place of the 645 used on the SD50 series. A total of 4 units were built for the Canadian National Railway. Initially numbered CN 9900-9903, they were renumbered to CN 5500-5503 by 1989. All 4 units were retired by CN in 2017. Units 5500 and 5501 still operate today with the Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad in the United States.

MODEL FEATURES:

SPECIFICATIONS:
DCC: Equipped with Econami2
PROTOTYPE MANUFACTURER: EMD
Axles: 6
LIGHTED: LED Lighting
PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
In 1984, Electro-Motive (EMD) introduced the 60 series locomotive. These had many improvements over the earlier models including features such as: New and improved EMD 710 power plant producing 3600 HP, wheel slip control, computerized cabinet replacing the older and unreliable components.
This design spawned into many other upgrades within its class like the modernized wide cab, Isolated cab, and even the start of AC traction technology.
These locomotives were suited for just about any mainline service that could be thrown at them. The model was fairly popular with class one railroads, with Norfolk Southern purchasing the most at 151 units. Most of them are still in service today. Norfolk Southern in 2010 started a large full rebuild program of their SD60s (including purchasing cores from other sources) into SD60Es, which rebuilt them from the frame up with new electrical components and a newly designed cab to improve visibility and forward crash impact safety.
HO Scale SD30C-ECO - DC/DCC Ready - Canadian Pacific #5009
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.

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.

HO MLW M420 - DCC Ready- Ontario Southland Railway(Red/White/Blue) #647 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!

Prototype Information:
The SD50Fs were built by General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in two batches ? in 1985 and 1987, respectively. It is the Canadian variant of the EMD SD50 six-axle diesel-electric freight locomotive. Nicknamed the ?Draper Taper? after CN?s Chief of Motive Power at the time, it has a full-width cowl body and cab, with a tapered section immediately behind the cab for improved rear visibility. A total of 60 units were built, all for the Canadian National Railway. They saw extensive mainline freight service on the CN network across Canada and in the United States. They were retired by CN in 2008. A limited number of locomotives still operate today with second-hand owners.
The SD50AFs were built General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in 1985. They were effectively ?demonstrator? SD60F units with the then-new 710 prime mover installed in place of the 645 used on the SD50 series. A total of 4 units were built for the Canadian National Railway. Initially numbered CN 9900-9903, they were renumbered to CN 5500-5503 by 1989. All 4 units were retired by CN in 2017. Units 5500 and 5501 still operate today with the Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad in the United States.

Continuing upon the successful SD60-series, in 1992 EMD debuted the next step in locomotive evolution with the SD70-series. While outwardly similar at first glance to the SD60M, the D.C.-drive SD70M featured several external design refinements from the predecessor model. Battery boxes were relocated to the left-hand side walkway immediately behind the cab, a large, boxy forward traction motor blower housing replaced the angular version used on SD60s, the raised walkway duct on the left hand walkway was eliminated, and an intake for the rear traction motor blower on the left hand side of the carbody, directly under the rear radiator intake grill, was added.
Internally, the SD70 boasted improvements as well; a 16-710GB prime mover, rated at 4,000hp, was coupled to a new alternator design, the AR20. New D70TR traction motors were standard, and controlling all of this power and locomotive function was EMD’s new EM2000 microprocessor, which boasted more memory, twice the processing speed, and improved locomotive self-diagnostic capabilities compared to the processor suite used in the SD60. Even more revolutionary was the inclusion of EMD’s patented “Radial†truck design, the HTC-R. This design, which made its debut under EMD Demo SD60 #3, replaced the venerable HT-C truck, and is unique in its ability to shift, or “steerâ€, the wheelsets laterally through curves, resulting in greatly reduced wheelset and track wear, and coupled with the new D70TR traction motors and EM2000 microprocessor, greatly improved adhesion.
Continuing with previous practice, EMD built a set of Demonstrator SD70Ms, EMD 7000-7002, all equipped with the North American safety-cab (hence the “M†in their model designation), and decked out in an attractive gray, silver, and burgundy paint scheme. These units travelled all over North America, showing off the latest technology from EMD. Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and eventually Norfolk Southern would sign up for the SD70M models. Although NS started out with the “Spartan†cab SD70, they eventually returned for the SD70M model. By 2004 the SD70M began to be delivered with the familiar “flared†radiator grilles. Both NS and UP have examples of these locomotives on their roster, and you can still find most of the entire fleet of SD70Ms in regular service today.

Part of BNSFs order in 1999, these were originally painted in the -Heritage 2- scheme from the factory. Over time with normal wear and tear, these units paint began to fade. As they got outshopped for major repairs, some were repainted into BNSFs current -Wedge- scheme. It was also common to see different variations of paint and parts used. Air conditioners and antennas were commonly changed out over time as seen on other equipment. We offer these variations based on collected research photos.

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
During the early-1990s, EMD teamed-up with German engineering company Siemens to produce a freight locomotive that was capable of providing AC-traction drive currents, and thus providing a high-horsepower rating and lower fuel consumption for railroads which had an ever-increasing demand for saving fuel consumption by using a lesser amount of units to haul most of their trains.
The EMD SD70MAC was first introduced in early 1993, and began production later-on during the same year after numerous tests and improvements were made. Since then, the EMD SD70MAC has been a staple of heavy freight lines across the country.

HO Scale H1b Hudson Steam - DCC & Sound - Canadian Pacific (Spans the World) #2818
-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,

Prototype Information:
The SD50Fs were built by General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in two batches ? in 1985 and 1987, respectively. It is the Canadian variant of the EMD SD50 six-axle diesel-electric freight locomotive. Nicknamed the ?Draper Taper? after CN?s Chief of Motive Power at the time, it has a full-width cowl body and cab, with a tapered section immediately behind the cab for improved rear visibility. A total of 60 units were built, all for the Canadian National Railway. They saw extensive mainline freight service on the CN network across Canada and in the United States. They were retired by CN in 2008. A limited number of locomotives still operate today with second-hand owners.
The SD50AFs were built General Motors Diesel Division (GMDD) in London, Ontario, Canada in 1985. They were effectively ?demonstrator? SD60F units with the then-new 710 prime mover installed in place of the 645 used on the SD50 series. A total of 4 units were built for the Canadian National Railway. Initially numbered CN 9900-9903, they were renumbered to CN 5500-5503 by 1989. All 4 units were retired by CN in 2017. Units 5500 and 5501 still operate today with the Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad in the United States.

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.
HO MLW M420 - DCC & Sound - 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.

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!

In the late 1970s Amtrak acquired a fleet of second-hand GP7s which were painted in a bright orange color for use in maintenance-of-way service (MOW). These highly visible units were quickly and unofficially named -Pumpkins- by the railfan community. They were frequently spotted hauling Amtrak ballast cars, flat cars equipped with special racks to carry rail, or gondolas that were used to gather scrap steel and wooden ties that accumulated on the right-of-way. Aside from MOW use, these units were used to couple Amtrak express Roadrailers to soon-to- arrive passenger trains. Pumpkins could also be found in service on non-Amtrak rails. For example, Amtrak -Pumpkins- were involved in the rebuilding of the Doylestown branch for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (SEPTA), and the Atlantic City line for New Jersey Transit. This bright paint scheme with unique details such as cab mounted strobes and end mounted emergency beacons will surely be an -attention grabber- on your layout.

BAR was an early supporter of EMDs road switcher concept, purchasing 12 GP7s in late 1949 and another 4 in 1952. Starting in the early 1960s, the units were repainted in a simplified solid blue scheme. The former BAR 73 was selected in 1975 to receive a colorful scheme of red, white, and blue to commemorate the nations Bicentennial. The unit carried the name Jeremiah OBrien, a Maine patriot, and a new number, 1776. The BAR GP7s were true travelers, being leased to the PRR starting in 1951 to assist with summer ore traffic, an agreement which lasted through the Penn Central era. They were also leased to the LV and LIRR to assist with power shortages on those roads.

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.

PROTOTYPE INFO:
In 1949, EMD introduced the GP7. The basic design followed most diesel switchers with the addition of a short hood instead of an end-cab. The hoods were also full height to better accommodate the diesel engine and mechanical and electrical components.
In 1954 EMD upgraded the GP7 to become the 1,750 horsepower GP9. Externally, the first GP9s were virtually unchanged from the last GP7s. Later versions would include different louver arrangements and the last ones would come without the frame skirting. The GP9 was available with all of the fuel tank, steam generator, and dynamic brake options as the GP7, including -torpedo tube- air tanks mounted on the roof.
Many railroads chose to rebuild their GP7s and GP9s for continued service. Often times, it was cheaper to do this rather than purchasing brand-new locomotives.

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.

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
During the early-1990s, EMD teamed-up with German engineering company Siemens to produce a freight locomotive that was capable of providing AC-traction drive currents, and thus providing a high-horsepower rating and lower fuel consumption for railroads which had an ever-increasing demand for saving fuel consumption by using a lesser amount of units to haul most of their trains.
The EMD SD70MAC was first introduced in early 1993, and began production later-on during the same year after numerous tests and improvements were made. Since then, the EMD SD70MAC has been a staple of heavy freight lines across the country.

PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
In 1984, Electro-Motive (EMD) introduced the 60 series locomotive. These had many improvements over the earlier models including features such as: New and improved EMD 710 power plant producing 3600 HP, wheel slip control, computerized cabinet replacing the older and unreliable components.
This design spawned into many other upgrades within its class like the modernized wide cab, Isolated cab, and even the start of AC traction technology.
These locomotives were suited for just about any mainline service that could be thrown at them. The model was fairly popular with class one railroads, with Norfolk Southern purchasing the most at 151 units. Most of them are still in service today. Norfolk Southern in 2010 started a large full rebuild program of their SD60s (including purchasing cores from other sources) into SD60Es, which rebuilt them from the frame up with new electrical components and a newly designed cab to improve visibility and forward crash impact safety.

During the 1970s, SP went on an ambitious task to rebuild their GP9 fleet, known as the -GRIP- program. This program included new wiring, new main generator, complete rebuild of the prime mover with new parts, improved battery box doors, and removed rear light packages (in some cases). A small batch of GP9s were renumbered into the 2868-2899 class. Demoted to -switchers- in order to save maintenance costs, this class included rebuilt and non rebuilt units.
We are offering #2873, which retained its full light package on both ends. #2873 currently enjoys its retirement at a Northern California museum. It may be the last locomotives in this scheme still operating. Out of the large batch of SP GP9Es, only 9 were painted into these colors.

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.

Rapido is happy to announce the next in their series of classic General Electric locomotives, the C30-7 in HO scale.
The C30-7 was General Electrics improvement of the U30C locomotive, featuring a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower diesel engine. Built between September 1976 and May 1986, over 1100 units were produced for many of the Class I railroads across the United States for use primarily in heavy-haul freight. A fair number would go on to have extended careers with both short/regional lines and private industrial railroads, owing to the locomotives reliability and pulling power.
It is, perhaps, the most polarizing locomotive from the 1980s and early 90s. The C30-7 was GEs answer to the SD40-2. When one thinks of Powder River and coal, the C30-7 isnt far behind. Burlington Northern owned the most in the States, with just over 240 examples. Santa Fe was a distant second with 157 C30s.
The C30-7 later gave way to the similar C36-7, as well as various unique models such as the Conrail C30-7A and the BC Rail C36-8m, rebuilt from former Conrail C30-7s.

HO Scale H1a Hudson Steam - DCC & Sound - Canadian Pacific (Beaver Shield) #2809
-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.

Continuing upon the successful SD60-series, in 1992 EMD debuted the next step in locomotive evolution with the SD70-series. While outwardly similar at first glance to the SD60M, the D.C.-drive SD70M featured several external design refinements from the predecessor model. Battery boxes were relocated to the left-hand side walkway immediately behind the cab, a large, boxy forward traction motor blower housing replaced the angular version used on SD60s, the raised walkway duct on the left hand walkway was eliminated, and an intake for the rear traction motor blower on the left hand side of the carbody, directly under the rear radiator intake grill, was added.
Internally, the SD70 boasted improvements as well; a 16-710GB prime mover, rated at 4,000hp, was coupled to a new alternator design, the AR20. New D70TR traction motors were standard, and controlling all of this power and locomotive function was EMD’s new EM2000 microprocessor, which boasted more memory, twice the processing speed, and improved locomotive self-diagnostic capabilities compared to the processor suite used in the SD60. Even more revolutionary was the inclusion of EMD’s patented “Radial†truck design, the HTC-R. This design, which made its debut under EMD Demo SD60 #3, replaced the venerable HT-C truck, and is unique in its ability to shift, or “steerâ€, the wheelsets laterally through curves, resulting in greatly reduced wheelset and track wear, and coupled with the new D70TR traction motors and EM2000 microprocessor, greatly improved adhesion.
Continuing with previous practice, EMD built a set of Demonstrator SD70Ms, EMD 7000-7002, all equipped with the North American safety-cab (hence the “M†in their model designation), and decked out in an attractive gray, silver, and burgundy paint scheme. These units travelled all over North America, showing off the latest technology from EMD. Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and eventually Norfolk Southern would sign up for the SD70M models. Although NS started out with the “Spartan†cab SD70, they eventually returned for the SD70M model. By 2004 the SD70M began to be delivered with the familiar “flared†radiator grilles. Both NS and UP have examples of these locomotives on their roster, and you can still find most of the entire fleet of SD70Ms in regular service today.

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!

Rapido is happy to announce the next in their series of classic General Electric locomotives, the C30-7 in HO scale.
The C30-7 was General Electrics improvement of the U30C locomotive, featuring a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower diesel engine. Built between September 1976 and May 1986, over 1100 units were produced for many of the Class I railroads across the United States for use primarily in heavy-haul freight. A fair number would go on to have extended careers with both short/regional lines and private industrial railroads, owing to the locomotives reliability and pulling power.
It is, perhaps, the most polarizing locomotive from the 1980s and early 90s. The C30-7 was GEs answer to the SD40-2. When one thinks of Powder River and coal, the C30-7 isnt far behind. Burlington Northern owned the most in the States, with just over 240 examples. Santa Fe was a distant second with 157 C30s.
The C30-7 later gave way to the similar C36-7, as well as various unique models such as the Conrail C30-7A and the BC Rail C36-8m, rebuilt from former Conrail C30-7s.

In the early 1970s Precision National was a one of the first companies that remanufactured diesel locomotives and then leased them out to railroads that needed them to bolster their fleets when they were power short. Their shops were located in Mount Vernon, IL which later on became the home for National Railway Equipment, a company that became a major supplier of leased and rebuilt diesels locomotives. PNC developed a uniform green and yellow paint scheme for their lease fleet that could be seen around the country.

PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
During the early-1990s, EMD teamed-up with German engineering company Siemens to produce a freight locomotive that was capable of providing AC-traction drive currents, and thus providing a high-horsepower rating and lower fuel consumption for railroads which had an ever-increasing demand for saving fuel consumption by using a lesser amount of units to haul most of their trains.
The EMD SD70MAC was first introduced in early 1993, and began production later-on during the same year after numerous tests and improvements were made. Since then, the EMD SD70MAC has been a staple of heavy freight lines across the country.

DC/Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DC/DCC/ESU LokSound
The GP38. That -other- Geep youve been waiting for! At long last there is a proto-specific, dynamically detailed, Electro-Motive
General Purpose -38- class locomotive. And it only took 50 years since the last straight 38 rolled out of La Grange, Illinois. This
venerable locomotive packed 2,000 hp, low or high short hoods and paved the way for future -GP- models to follow. 706 of these
four-axle beasts were manufactured at EMDs La Grange Plant, at the heart of railroad world. Of the 706 built, Penn Central, B&O
and Southern were the largest purchasers of this model. Southerns were unique in that they continued an age-old tradition of
ordering high short hoods for added crew safety. Their eye-pleasing black, white and gold striping along with their harmonious
Nathan P horns certainly made them fan favorites.
By the 90s, many GP38s were worn down and ready for a rebuild. Many roads either sold them to leasing companies or elected
to rebuild them to Dash 2 standards, some chopping the high hoods down. With the reduction of many four-axle locomotives on
class one rosters, many of these locomotives can still be found racking up miles on regional roads and shortlines. In fact, even some
tourist and museums have GP38s!

HO Scale H1b Hudson Steam - DC/DCC Ready - Canadian Pacific (Spans the World) #2817
-Late walkway w/smoke deflectors
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,

Canadian Pacific (CP) unveiled five specially painted locomotives on Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in the U.S. honouring the culture and history of the armed forces. The five Electro-Motive Diesel SD70ACUs will take the message of military pride across the CP system.
CP 6644 wears the camouflage colors applied to Royal Canadian Air Force -Spitfire- fighter planes flown at the Allied invasion of Normandy, France,
on June 6, 1944.
CP 7020 wears North Atlantic Treaty Organization green, which the Canadian and U.S. armies apply to fighting vehicles and equipment serving in
temperate climates.
CP 7021 wears the sand color that the Canadian and U.S. armies apply to fighting vehicles and equipment serving in arid climates.
CP 7022 wears the grey, red and black color pattern of modern Canadian and American warships.

Rapido is happy to announce the next in their series of classic General Electric locomotives, the C30-7 in HO scale.
The C30-7 was General Electrics improvement of the U30C locomotive, featuring a 16-cylinder 3,000 horsepower diesel engine. Built between September 1976 and May 1986, over 1100 units were produced for many of the Class I railroads across the United States for use primarily in heavy-haul freight. A fair number would go on to have extended careers with both short/regional lines and private industrial railroads, owing to the locomotives reliability and pulling power.
It is, perhaps, the most polarizing locomotive from the 1980s and early 90s. The C30-7 was GEs answer to the SD40-2. When one thinks of Powder River and coal, the C30-7 isnt far behind. Burlington Northern owned the most in the States, with just over 240 examples. Santa Fe was a distant second with 157 C30s.
The C30-7 later gave way to the similar C36-7, as well as various unique models such as the Conrail C30-7A and the BC Rail C36-8m, rebuilt from former Conrail C30-7s.

HO MLW M420 A/B Set - DCC & Sound - British Columbia (Two-Tone Stripe) #641, 681
-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!

Prototype Overview:
In 1966 EMD introduced a new line of locomotives based on the 16-cylinder 645-series prime mover. The
40-series included a six-axle and four-axle model, the latter being the GP40. A total of 1,145 units were
produced between 1966 and 1972. These turbocharged 3,000hp locomotives were used primarily in road
freight service. The GP40 was a versatile locomotive that could be found across the US hauling drag freights
over mountain passes and leading high-speed intermodal trains across flat terrain. Three rooftop radiator fans
at the rear of the long hood differentiate a GP40 from its lower horsepower counterpart, the GP38, which has
two fans at this location.
Concurrent with GP40 production, EMD offered a lower horsepower, non-turbocharged locomotive based on the
same 645-series prime mover. The four-axle GP38 was rated at 2,000 hp and had the advantage of costing less
than the GP40. A total of 727 units were produced between 1966 and 1971 when the model was superseded.
The wheelbase of the GP38 was identical to that of the GP40. Both units shared the same EMD road-switcher
style body that was introduced with the GP35 in 1963. A desire for standardization caused the GP38 to share
the same wheelbase, frame and many external components as the GP40. The GP38 was purchased by large and
small roads alike. It was routinely found in local and road freight service throughout the US. Many GP38s and
40s are still in service today, either having been rebuilt or modified. A locomotive that has withstood the test of
time.
Many options exist on the Atlas GP38 and GP40 models. Some of these are: Long hood with or without dynamic
brakes, multiple fuel tanks, high or shoot hoods, and more.

HO Scale SD30C-ECO - DCC & Sound - Canadian Pacific #5004
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.

An earlier purchaser of the AC4400CW, the units purchased by Chicago & Northwestern were again dressed in the attractive -Lighting Stripe- paint scheme, but now with the addition of an Operation Lifesaver decoration on the long hood. The AC traction paired well with the long heavy coal trains CNW was pulling out of the Powder River Basin. Many of these units lasted well after the UP acquisition of CNW in their original paint or with minor patching. These early versions rode on the first iteration of the Hi-Adhesion trucks with struts on all four corners of each trucks that were both shorter and inboard of the brake cylinders compared to later variations.
