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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes Rapido’s E8 and E9 models different than every E8 or E9 that has come before? Simple – we’re doing it right. Every E8 model out there is a “best guess” as to the nose, roof and windshield contours of the real thing. At Rapido we don’t believe in making guesses. That’s why we commissioned a 3D laser scan of Union Pacific E8 #942 at the Southern California Railway Museum. A 3D scan ensures that we get those impossible-to-guess contours bang-on accurate. Our engineers trace the scan and shrink it down to HO scale.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Rapido Trains HO scale EMD E8A \u0026amp; E8B locomotives feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"stylish_list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D laser-scanned body shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate nose and roof contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven different noses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree different back ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo different sides – with and without lifting lug covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree different steam generator options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36” fan, 48” fan or non-dynamic brake options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle- or dual-headlight configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreight or passenger pilots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree styles of side grills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal porthole sides or rebuilt with blanked sides (including unique variations)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkirted or non-skirted fuel tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal square and sloped or Hyatt roller bearing journal boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth running drive system with all wheels powered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete lighting effects – headlights, class lights, backup lights, ground lights, cab lights and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumerous road-specific detail parts in both plastic and etched metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Rapido Trains HO scale EMD E8A \u0026amp; E8B locomotives feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"stylish_list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D laser-scanned body shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate nose and roof contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven different noses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree different back ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo different sides – with and without lifting lug covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree different steam generator options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36” fan, 48” fan or non-dynamic brake options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle- or dual-headlight configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreight or passenger pilots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree styles of side grills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal porthole sides or rebuilt with blanked sides (including unique variations)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkirted or non-skirted fuel tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal square and sloped or Hyatt roller bearing journal boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die-cast chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth running drive system with all wheels powered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete lighting effects – headlights, class lights, backup lights, ground lights, cab lights and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumerous road-specific detail parts in both plastic and etched metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Photo might not show actual road number.

Charles shops to extend the operating lives of the GP9s. The “GP9RM” was the result, which was divided into three groups: The 4000\/4100 series were rebuilt as road units, the 7000 series as switchers and the 7200\/200 series as “mother” and “slug” pairs. The slugs lacked a prime mover, instead drawing power from the mother to operate the traction motors. The long hoods were cut down and ballast was added to help weigh them down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"V07TJJ8\"\u003e     The GP9RM fleet included a chopped short hood, addition of three coloured marker lights on both ends, the bell moved to the side of the hood and the dynamic brake blister converted to intake filters. Internally, the units had upgraded 16-645C prime movers and improved electrical systems. The 4000\/4100 series road units were changed to have the short hood end designated as the front, with the control stand reoriented, while the 7000\/7200 switchers retained the long hood designated as the front. As with any rebuild project, there were differences from one loco to the next as well as minor changes over the ten year rebuild program. One could see these locos all across the CN North American system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e      The Rapido GP9RM represents the locomotives rebuilt from the original phase II GP9 locomotives, with details corresponding to the earliest rebuilds, right on up to the last, in 1988. The biggest variation of the slug rebuilds was the use of Blomberg and Flexicoil trucks. Both variations are represented! Starting in 1994, CN applied Belt-Pack remote control systems to the 7200\/200 series locomotives.

HO Scale Amtrak RTL Turboliner Phase V DCC with Sound - 25505","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the 1970s - with Amtrak still reeling from inheriting a proverbial mixed bag of equipment from the former passenger carriers - efforts were made to improve passenger services along key corridors. Following the success of the French-built RTG Turboliners in the mid-1970s in the Midwest, Amtrak turned to Rohr Industries in California to build modernized Turboliners for use along the Empire Corridor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEntering service starting in September 1976, these new RTL Turboliners quickly proved their value, bringing passengers back to the rails. Equipped with third-rail shoes, they operated on electric power through New York's Grand Central Terminal (and later Penn Station), switching to gas-turbine power once out of New York City. Painted in Amtrak's stunning red, white and blue Phase III paint scheme, they operated on most Empire Corridor services, as well as regular appearances on the Adirondack to and from Montreal in the early years. Occasional equipment needs even put the Turbos on other rare adventures outside their normal call of duty, including the Niagara Rainbow to Detroit via Southwestern Ontario, and the Maple Leaf to Toronto via Niagara Falls.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter nearly 20 years of service under their belts, Amtrak selected one RTL set in 1994 to be rebuilt into what would be called the RTL-II, incorporating several improvements including new turbines, a remodelled interior, a striking new demonstrator paint scheme, in addition to extending the lifespan of the set for several more years. While this set continued in service until 2003, no other RTL-II sets were ever commissioned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFurther redevelopments and improvements of the fleet into the RTL-IIIs was never fully realized, and all were retired from active service in 2004. Conventional equipment has since been utilized on the Empire Corridor services in place of the once mighty Turboliners.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccurately designed using original blueprints and field measurements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTinted windows, full interior details and flicker-free interior lighting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeparate factory installed grab irons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull underbody details and highly-detailed trucks, including third-rail shoes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46863588360448,"sku":"RAP25505","price":764.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/rapido-ho-scale-amtrak-rtl-turboliner-phase-v-dcc-with-sound-25505-5470650.jpg?v=1760777930"}],"url":"https:\/\/fusionscalehobbies.com\/collections\/rapido-trains-in-stock.oembed?page=7","provider":"Fusion Scale Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
