Rapido's 2026 run of the HO scale Santa Fe CF7 — the square-cab rebuild that Santa Fe's Cleburne Shops turned out of tired F7s between 1969 and 1978, and that went on to a second life on regionals and short lines across North America. 30 road numbers across 14 roads: Santa Fe Red Warbonnet, Aberdeen & Rockfish, Ashley Drew & Northern, Gloster Southern, Massachusetts Central, Mexicana de Cobre, MidSouth, Midwest Coal Hauling, Minnesota Commercial, Pioneer Valley, Reading & Northern, Rescar, Santa Cruz Big Trees & Pacific and Indiana Rail Road — each offered DC/Silent (DCC-ready) or with factory ESU LokSound DC/DCC/Sound. New for this run: ditch lights on the appropriate roads, working ground lights and beacons, five cab and two hood variations.
