Rapido-MLW-800

     Following the success of the CPR Royal Hudson, Rapido Trains is very pleased to reveal it’s first Canadian National locomotive in the Icons of Canadian Steam series, the CNR H-6d/g class 4-6-0 in HO scale.

     Originally built by Montreal Locomotive Works for the Canadian Northern Railway, Canadian National’s H-6 class 4-6-0s 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.

     In 1919 the CNR inherited 797 locomotives from the Canadian Northern Railway of which 348 were 4-6-0 types of a clean and functional design. The Rapido HO Scale model represents subclass H-6-d, 20 of which were built in 1910 and 1911 in the number series 1323 to 1342, and subclass H-6-g, built in two batches in 1912 and 1913 for a total of 56 locomotives and numbered 1354 to 1409. The original locomotives of the two subclasses were largely identical in specifications and dimensions.

      Over the years, several modifications were made to the class which created some visually distinct locomotives. These include but are not limited to installing new steel cabs to replace the original wooden ones, conversion of part of the fleet from coal to oil fired, and wooden extensions to the tender bunker for those units that continued using coal.

      Rapido’s model will feature many optional details to accurately portray Canadian National’s H-6d and H-6-g locomotives in several configurations and subclasses, including:

        Coal (with or without extended bunker) and Oil tenders

      ► Wood or steel cabs

      ► Manual or power reversers

      ► Vertical or horizontal slat pilots

      ► Two different bell locations

      ► Two different headlight sizes

     The drive will incorporate our smooth-running gear drive with flywheel allowing sure and silent operation. All models will be DCC ready, and sound equipped models will be fitted with custom sound decoders that feature synchronized effects for ultimate realism. Lighting effects will include headlights, marker lights, number boards and flickering firebox.

      The Rapido HO Scale CNR H-6d/g will come available in two paint schemes – the tilted vermillion wafer and the horizontal vermillion wafer, both applied to the tender – plus two painted, unlettered variations. The tender is also available separately.
