[Pre-Order] Rapido 1048039 | EMD SD70MAC - DC Silent - Texas & Great Northern #2608 | HO Scale

Rapido's Home Shops line paints real locomotives in schemes that never quite happened. This SD70MAC wears Texas & Great Northern colours, and if that road is not in your rulebook, that is rather the point. It is a fine excuse to run something nobody else at the club has. The SD70MAC family were EMD's AC-traction heavy haulers, and Rapido has modelled them with the detail differences that separate one railroad's order from another rather than shipping one generic shell for every road.

Rapido has not published a date for this run yet. We ship it the day it reaches us and will keep the listing updated as dates firm up. How does the pre-order work? Pick your terms at checkout: pay in full, or pay a 10% deposit with the balance invoiced before it ships. Either way your unit is held for you. Will it run on my layout? Yes, on DC as supplied. There is no decoder fitted, so the choice of decoder is yours. Minimum radius is 22 inches. Is Texas & Great Northern a real railroad? It is a Rapido Home Shops scheme, a paint job the prototype never actually wore. The locomotive underneath is the real thing.
