Rapido HO Scale Erie Lackawanna Alco FA-1/FB-1 Set EL #7254, #7263 - DCC/Sound

Bring classic Erie Lackawanna diesel power to your HO scale railroad with the Rapido Trains Alco FA-1/FB-1 locomotive set, featuring Erie Lackawanna FA-1 #7254 and FB-1 #7263 in the distinctive grey and maroon paint scheme. This two-unit set combines the unmistakable appearance of Alco's first-generation freight locomotives with Rapido's prototype-specific detailing and factory-installed DCC/Sound.

Originally introduced in 1946, the Alco FA-1 and cabless FB-1 booster were designed for mainline freight service. Each unit produced 1,500 horsepower from Alco's 244 diesel prime mover. These streamlined locomotives became a familiar sight on North American railroads during the transition from steam to diesel power, with many remaining in service into the 1960s.
