Rapido 203509 HO Scale Amtrak Heartland UAC TurboTrain 3-Car Set DC/DCC/Sound

HO Scale UAC TurboTrain - Turbo 2.0

On December 20, 1967 the United Aircraft TurboTrain rocketed to an amazing 170.8 MPH on the Pennsylvania Railroad in New Jersey. To this date, this is still the fastest speed ever achieved by a production train in the United States or Canada. On April 22, 1976 a Canadian National TurboTrain reached a speed of 140.6 MPH between Montreal and Toronto. This is still the Canadian speed record.

Rapido Trains Inc. founder Jason Shron had wanted a model of the TurboTrain since he was four years old. He started Rapido back in 2004 so he could one day own an HO scale model of this train. Now, Turbo 2.0 has arrived with a brand-new drive system and improvements throughout.

Features

• Designed from original United Aircraft blueprints
• New, smooth-running drive system with excellent slow-speed performance

• Every wheel on the train picks up power for reliable operation
• Sound decoders in both engines (turbines, bell, doors, station announcements, horns)
• Full interior LED lighting, constant directional headlights, operating Gyralites
