The Rapido 1004509 is an HO scale EMD FT A and B unit set, road numbers #105A / 105AX — DC/DCC/Sound with a factory-installed ESU LokSound decoder. It is finished in B&O's blue, gray and black scheme (1948+).
The FT was EMD's breakthrough freight diesel — the A-B units that proved diesels could replace steam in heavy road service, and that went on to work freight and passenger trains alike for decades. Rapido's HO FT returns with new schemes and never-before-seen detail variations, and the close-coupling system that keeps A and B units tight on straights and curves.
- Close-coupling system, with drawbar or coupler connection between A and B units
- Working headlights, ground lights, number boards and back-up lights
- Correct nose and windshield contours; multiple number-board styles and three dynamic-brake hatch styles as appropriate
- Etched side and fan screens, separate grab irons and handrails, full underbody detail including piping and draft gear
- Full multi-colour interior; heavy die-cast chassis; suggested minimum radius 18"
- ESU LokSound DC/DCC/Sound decoder with MoPower capacitor for uninterrupted power
