Create Prototypical Santa Fe Freight Consists

Santa Fe was one of the pioneering railroads to embrace EMD FT locomotives for heavy freight service. Unlike many railroads, Santa Fe equipped its FT units with couplers on both ends, making it possible to assemble A+B+B and even A+B+B+B locomotive combinations as traffic demands increased. This unnumbered booster unit gives HO scale modelers the flexibility to build accurate Santa Fe diesel consists for mainline freight operations during the 1940s and early 1950s. 

Premium Rapido Engineering & Detail

Rapido's EMD FT Booster is packed with prototype-specific features, including accurate body contours, road-specific details, etched metal side and fan screens, separately applied grab irons, full underbody piping, a heavy die-cast chassis, a smooth five-pole motor with dual flywheels, detailed multi-color interior components, and factory-installed ESU LokSound DCC and sound. These features combine to deliver dependable operation and exceptional prototype fidelity on any HO scale railroad.

Ideal for Transition Era Freight Operations

Whether you're assembling long freight lash-ups or expanding an existing Santa Fe diesel fleet, this FT Booster is the perfect companion to Rapido's matching A-units. Its classic freight paint scheme and premium operating features make it an excellent choice for layouts depicting the early diesel era, when the EMD FT helped reshape North American railroading.
