This is a Rapido Trains 18504 HO Scale Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe GE B36-7 Diesel Locomotive DC/DCC/Sound #7494. B36-7 features: 3D scanned from an ex-CSX B36-7 for 100% accurate shape and dimensions. Incredible underframe detail including piping and a ridiculous number of separately-applied parts. Full cab interior, with correct orientation for standard or Southern locomotives. Dead straight metal side handrails with plastic stanchions. A crazy level of road-specific detail options, with different pilots, anti climbers, plows, fuel tanks, air dryers, antennas, bell locations, wind deflectors, headlight locations, air-conditioning units, beacons, different bodies, multiple nose, and rear end styles, three versions of drop step, and so on. With or without class lights (as appropriate). Conrail locomotives have unique 'built out' style class lights. ATSF, Conrail, and Southern locomotives have single or double baffles appropriate to the era and road number. Three styles of operating, flashing ditch lights, front, and rear (as appropriate). Working headlights in the correct location, switchable number boards at both ends, and cab interior headlight. SP locomotive has a single P3 horn or dual K5H horn and dual-beam clear lens Oscitrol warning lights at both ends plus red “emergency” Gyralite. DC/Silent (21-pin DCC Ready) or DC/DCC/Sound (ESU LokSound) options. Accurate sounds were recorded from an actual Minnesota Commercial B36-7 under load. Rapido's proven 5-pole skew-wound motor with dual flywheels and silky-smooth drive. (different road numbers shown)
