Steam Heater Car: CN Rail - Wet Noodle Scheme

SOUND included: special sound chip by Rapido

Steam Heater Cars, known in Canada as Steam Generator Units or SGUs, were introduced in the diesel era to provide steam heat to passenger trains in cooler weather. When passenger trains were hauled by steam locomotives, there was always a reliable source of steam. Unless a diesel locomotive was equipped with a boiler and water tank, heat could not be provided. This was before the days of electrical Head End Power for passenger cars.   ..... cont./

EMD E8A
Canadian Pacific - Early Maroon: #1802

DCC/Sound by ESU LokSound

EMD’s E-8 (and successor, E-9) were the quintessential North American passenger locomotive of the 1950s through the 1970s. 450 E8A and 46 E8B units were produced, with an additional 100 E9A and 44 E9B locos following. The first E8s were delivered in 1949, with the last E9 being produced in 1964. These units pulled passenger trains from coast to coast, and later became the backbone of Amtrak’s fleet in its early days. Many more were later used in commuter service before being retired. Today several units live on in museums and tourist railroads throughout North America.

The M420 was equipped with the ALCO 12V-251c3 prime mover producing 2000 H.P. Most M420 quired a different bolster design and a slightly different truck spacing, making them unique. MLW constructed 103 M420s between May 1973 and February 1977 for four railways including CN (80), BCR (16 including eight B units), Ferrocarriles del Estado (2), Providence & Worcester (5 CN would take delivery of the M420s in 3 groups: MR-20a class 2500-2529 (delivered 1973), MR-20b class 2530- 2559 (delivered 1974), and MR-20c class 2560-2579 (delivered 1976).

Marine Industries Bulkhead Flatcar: CP Rail - Action Red

This is the first accurate model of a Canadian 66ft bulkhead flatcar ever produced. Rapido Train's HO model is based on cars that were built in huge quantities in the 1970s to early 1980s, and will be right at home on any layout based from the late 1970s to today. This car design is a true work horse of the industry.

Loaded with everything from finished wood, building materials, sheet steel, pipe, structural steel, heavy equipment. These cars have been fitted with log bunks, stake sides for moving coils of wire, and canvas tops to protect cargo and many have rebuilt to center beam style cars.

Union X-3 Tankcar: UTLX - 1950s Paint

The X-3 cars were built in various capacities and configurations, including 6,500 gallon, 8,000 gallon and 12,000 gallon tanks. They were also built with single, double and triple domes. However, none of these variants were more numerous than the basic 10,000 gallon, single-dome version. From the 1920s onwards Union Tank Car (UTLX) fielded the largest fleet of tank cars in North America, and the 10,000 gallon X-3 accounted for nearly 13,000 of them!

The basic X-3 was used to haul fuel oil, gasoline, vegetable oils – essentially any liquid that did not require special handling features. These cars went EVERYWHERE

HO NSC 73’ Centerbeam Flatcar - Single Car

One of the most overlooked, and yet common loads carried by North American railroads is finished wood products. Over 20,000 examples of this car were produced by National Steel Car, between 1987 through the mid 2000s, with some car variations along the way.

Whenever you see a general merchandise freight pass by you, there’s a high probability that you will see at least four or more centerbeams mixed in. But have you taken notice of the road names/ownership of those cars? Centerbeams are unique in that they are owned by large class I railroads, leasing companies and smaller shortlines.
