The popular ALCo PA and PB series returns for a second run! Following the success of the first run, Rapido is pleased to offer new schemes and a twist: ATSF 51A, B and L! These were the three Santa Fe PAs that were repowered in 1954 with 567C prime movers putting out 1750 horsepower. To account for the extra space needed to house the taller EMD power assemblies, the middle of the carbody was raised with the addition of dual exhausts and four button-top EMD-style fans. While successful, this endeavor was not economical in the long run and not repeated on any other ALCo PA.
We are also excited to offer the ALCo-GE and the short-lived MLW-GE demonstrator in its Canadian National schemes, in addition to the new schemes being offered. As usual, the ALCo PA and PB Locomotives feature the highest quality, roadname-specific details, silky smooth drives and razor sharp paint and printing.
