Description
HO Scale H16-44 Phase III Locomotive in CP Rail Action Red is a highly detailed HO model designed to bring Fairbanks Morse’s 1600 HP road-switcher to life on modern layouts. The Phase III update gives the silhouette a faithful profile, with road-name specific touches such as hood doors and handrails, plus lit number boards, headlights, and green-and-white class lights. Factory-installed grab irons and handrails, full underbody piping, and accurate dimensions enhance the prototypical look for a convincing Canadian Pacific roster.
Designed for DC or DCC operation, this model offers DC/Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DC/DCC/Sound options. The drive system is Rapido’s proven design, adapted from the FA-2, delivering smooth performance on the rails. Prototypical Dofasco or Fairbanks Morse trucks, road-name dependent fuel tanks, steam generators where appropriate, and Macdonald-Cartier magnetic couplers mounted at the correct height all contribute to authentic operation and handling on the layout.
