The VIA Rail FP9A!

Rapido’s True North Locomotives FP9A is a team effort and a labour of love from a bunch of detail fanatics. Our FP9s feature unmatched levels of detail that border on the insane! Until now, our Canadian Pacific FP9A and F9B locomotives were only available packaged with The Canadian complete train. Now you can expand your fleet with our new CP FP9A and F9B locomotives, available separately for the first time!
