The story behind the FT
Rapido’s famous HO Scale FT Locomotive returns with state-of-the-art features, distinctive road-specific details and impressive pulling power. These versatile locomotives served in freight and passenger operations, and Rapido has reproduced their characteristic contours and details in HO scale.
This 2026 production introduces detail variations not previously seen on Rapido’s HO Scale FT. Denver & Rio Grande Western A-units feature prominent nose-mounted class lights for a true “bug-eye” appearance. Western Pacific examples feature roof-mounted numberboards, a wagon wheel-style antenna and a bulb-reflector headlight.
The innovative close-coupling system offers a drawbar or semi-scale coupler option, while the heavy die-cast chassis gives these locomotives substantial traction.
