Description
HO-scale GE 44-Tonner Switcher Locomotive in NYO&W Grey, 103. This compact General Electric diesel switcher is designed for light yard and industrial switching, and the HO model from Rapido Trains uses all-new tooling to faithfully reproduce multiple production phasesâ€â€from Phase Ic to Phase IVâ€â€in NYO&W livery.
Built for realism and reliable operation, the model features a heavy die-cast chassis and fuel tank for a sturdy feel, with two fuel-tank skirt styles and separately applied door latches. It includes a full cab interior and photo-etched cab steps, and a smooth-running coreless motor with dual flywheels ensures steady operation. DC models are DCC-ready with a NEXT-18 decoder socket and speakers, while DCC models are equipped with ESU decoders and sound plus a Mo-Power capacitor. The lineup covers several phasesâ€â€Phase Ic (with or without lighted hood-side number boards), Phase III with positionable top-hood hatches, and Phase IVâ€â€so collectors can choose the exact look they want.
