First up, the Canadian Pacific D10 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler. "The D10-class Ten Wheeler was the most numerous class of steam locomotive not only for the CPR but in Canada. Five hundred and two of these useful 4-6-0s were built between 1905 and 1913, and many lasted until the end of CP steam service in 1961. D10s were employed in freight and passenger work across Canada and into the United States on CP’s many lines. There is truly no more useful locomotive for any steam era CPR layout than the D10."
Subclasses D10g, D10h, D10j & D10k will be produced along with a range of road number specific details including oil or coal tenders, high or low walkways, centered or smokebox-top headlights, straight or angled front number boards, two different bell locations and straight or angled cylinder steam pipes.
Different paint schemes are planned including freight black and passenger tuscan red. While operating for years in British Columbia, 962 became the only D10 to ever receive passenger colours. Dominion Atlantic Railway (DAR) and Quebec Central (QC) locomotives are also to be released.
Rapido Trains MSRP for the CPR D10 models are $499.95 (DC/Silent) and $599.95 (DC/DCC/Sound). Britannia's pre-order price is $449.95 (DC/Silent) and $524.99 (DC/DCC/Sound). This offer expires on the day of Rapido's order deadline, October 14th 2019.
Not wanting to leave CN modelers feeling left out, Rapido Trains has announced the Canada National H-6-d/g 4-6-0. "Originally built for the Canadian Northern Railway, Canadian National’s H-6 class 4-6-0 were a light, general-purpose locomotive perfectly suited to freight or passenger work across the entire CNR system. They lasted in regular service into the late 1950s with several being preserved after the end of steam."
Two subclasses will be produced, H-6-d & H-6-g. Like their D10 counter parts, they will feature many road specific details including oil or coal tenders (with or without extended bunker, wood or steel cabs, manual or power reversers, vertical or horizontal slat pilots, two different bell locations and two different headlight sizes. Models will also come with either a tilted wafer (tender crest) or a horizontal wafer.
The CNR H-6-d/g were in service all across Canada and some were leased to the Northern Alberta Railway (NAR) including 1392 (above) which has also been preserved in Alberta and is operational. 1373 (below) was in the late 1950's based out of Prince George, BC on the CNR Western Region.
Rapido Trains MSRP for the CNR H-6-d & H-6-g models are $499.95 (DC/Silent) and $599.95 (DC/DCC/Sound). Britannia's pre-order price is $449.95 (DC/Silent) and $524.99 (DC/DCC/Sound). This offer expires on the day of Rapido's order deadline, October 14th 2019.
Lastly, Rapido Trains announced that they will be producing the EMD SW1200. "As dieselization progressed, many roads found themselves in need of a compact, lightweight locomotive to replace steam power on branch lines and other over-the-road assignments (freight and passenger) not requiring a full-fledged mainline road switcher. The SW1200 combined the right size and muscle for these assignments."
These new models will come be released with many features such as Type A or Flexicoil trucks, different fuel tanks, unique spark arrestors, MU cables, folding end-platform drop steps and different lighting options as specific to each road.
Various roads are catered for in this first run of EMD SW1200's including Burlington Northern (BN), Conrail (CR), Denver & Rio Grande Western (D&RGW), Grand Trunk Western (GTW), Great Northern (GN), Milwaukee Road (MILW), New Haven (NH), Northern Pacific (NP), Pennsylvania (PRR), Penn Central (PC), SOO Line (SOO), and Southern Pacific (SP).
Rapido Trains MSRP for the EMD SW1200 is $249.95 (DC/Silent) and $359.95 (DC/DCC/Sound). Britannia's pre-order price is $224.95 (DC/Silent) and $319.99 (DC/DCC/Sound). This offer expires on the day of Rapido's order deadline, June 24th 2019.
