Rapido 21568, HO ALCo FA-2 with ESU DCC & Sound Erie Lackawanna EL #7391

The Rapido Trains Inc. HO Scale FA-2 and FPA-2 was widely regarded as one of the best locomotive releases of 2017, so Rapido is very pleased to reveal their highly anticipated second run of the classic Alco/MLW cabs. They’ve chosen the most popular requested paint schemes, so there’s sure to be something of interest to you.

If the first run of freight FA-2 and dual-service FPA-2 locomotives majored in those gorgeous 1950s delivery schemes, the second run has something of a 1960s flavor and loads of new to Rapido roadnames as well. To cater for this expansion into new territory we’ve tooled up additional body styles and loads of extra road specific details too. That’s Rapido, eh! Oh yeah, and they’re making the B units (FB-2 and FPB-2) as well!

Features Include:

• Correct nose and roof profiles 3D scanned from the prototype
• Operating number boards, headlights and green and white class lights
