Rapido Trains HO Scale GE P32AC-DM DC/DCC/Sound

Metro-North • America 250 • Road Number 250

Product Overview

Rapido’s HO Scale GE P32AC-DM brings one of the Northeast’s most recognizable dual-mode passenger locomotives to life with exceptional prototype detail, modern tooling, and road-specific accuracy. This DC/DCC/Sound version comes factory-equipped for sound operation, making it a premium choice for modelers who want realistic lighting, sound, and performance right out of the box.

This Metro-North America 250 release captures road number 250 in a special commemorative scheme, making it a standout addition for collectors of modern passenger power, Metro-North equipment, and limited-run commemorative paint schemes.

Metro-North GE P32AC-DM

The GE P32AC-DM was developed for passenger service where dual-mode operation was essential, allowing locomotives to operate by diesel power outside the city and electric third-rail power in restricted terminal areas. Metro-North’s fleet has become closely associated with service into Grand Central Terminal, making the P32AC-DM an important modern commuter locomotive for New York-area passenger operations.
