Rapido Trains Inc. is delighted to announce the latest museum-quality model in its True North line of iconic Canadian locomotives. The ubiquitous SW1200RS has been a mainstay of freight railroading in Canada since 1955. Equally at home in the yard or on the mainline, the GMDD (General Motors Diesel Division) SW1200RS operated from coast to coast, and many are still in service today for short lines in Canada and the United States.

Canadian National and Canadian Pacific each rostered large fleets of the SW1200RS. While internally identical, the locomotives had numerous spotting differences, such as the exhaust stacks, cab number boards, fuel tanks, classification (marker) lights and stanchions. Rapido has tooled all of the major spotting differences between the two versions, as well as numerous variations between eras. No expense has been spared to bring you as accurate a model as we can, whether you model CN or CP.

The SW1200RS will be available in six different CP paint schemes and four CN paint schemes. Both CP and CN versions will be available as undecorated models. Unnumbered and Undecorated models will include various different exhaust stack types and handrail styles. The undecorated CN model is supplied with three different cabs.

The HO Scale Rapido SW1200RS features:• Designed from blueprints and field measurements • Two different versions: CN and CP • Heavy diecast frame, chassis and gearboxes for superior pulling power • Rapido’s renowned smooth-running drive system • Working number boards and classification lights • Working inspection lights and ditch lights (where appropriate) • Separate handrails, including crash bars inside the cab • Undecorated CN models supplied with three different cabs • With or without working drop steps, as appropriate • Four different exhaust stack styles and three different battery box door styles • Full cab interior with working cab interior light and non-working fridge and fire extinguisher • Numerous optional parts, including all-weather windows, winterization hatches, watchman’s heater, snow shields, radiator covers, and alternative MU stands • Incredible underbody piping and conduit detail • DC/Silent or DC/DCC/Sound versions featuring an ESU Loksound decoder with accurate recordings • Sound models feature an updated high-fidelity MP3 quality speaker
