Add a colorful "what-if" Santa Fe locomotive to your HO scale roster with Rapido's ATSF CF7 #2526. Inspired by the Bicentennial paint applied to several Santa Fe SD45-2s in 1976, this special CF7 brings the patriotic scheme to a locomotive that never received it in prototype service — but looks remarkably at home wearing it.

Product Overview
This is one that should have been made — so Rapido made it. Santa Fe famously applied patriotic Bicentennial decoration to a number of SD45-2 locomotives in 1976, and that eye-catching red, white, and blue treatment inspired this special CF7 interpretation.
ATSF #2526 combines that imaginative Bicentennial appearance with the extensive detail found throughout Rapido's CF7 line, including a heavy die-cast chassis, etched-metal details, separately applied metal handrails and grab irons, a fully detailed multi-color cab interior, extensive lighting, and the distinctive Stratolite beacon mounted on the cab roof. This DC/Silent version is also equipped with a 21-pin interface for modelers who wish to install their own DCC decoder.
Product Features
Why We Love This Model
This one is pure model-railroad fun. The Santa Fe Bicentennial scheme is already memorable on the locomotives that actually wore it, and applying the same design language to a CF7 creates a convincing "what if" that feels surprisingly natural. The working Stratolite beacon is a particularly fun touch, while Rapido's detailed interior, lighting, etched components, metal handrails, and heavy chassis give the model plenty of substance beyond the special paint scheme.
Add the Bicentennial CF7 That Should Have Been
Bring ATSF #2526 to your HO scale roster and enjoy a distinctive Bicentennial "what-if" locomotive packed with Rapido's signature detail, lighting, heavy construction, and unmistakable Santa Fe character.
