Description
HO scale Alco PA-1 and PB locomotives in a DCC-equipped, sound-enabled two-unit set designed for authentic operation on HO layouts. This second-run release from Rapido Trains offers road-name options such as Santa Fe and Canadian National, delivering period-correct styling and ready-to-run performance for model railroaders seeking mid-century power in their collection.
Highlights include 3D-scanned nose and roof profiles for accuracy, full underbody piping and conduit, separate grab irons and handrails, etched-metal grilles, lit number boards and a full cab interior. Santa Fe units feature distinctive roof blisters and EMD-style fans, and the line supports A units or A-B sets with dynamic or non-dynamic braking where appropriate. The drive system is Rapido’s proven design, with DC/Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DC/DCC/Sound options powered by ESU LokSound V5 decoders, delivering smooth operation and authentic sound in a robust HO package.
