Rapido 28535 HO Scale Southern Railway EMD E8A #6901J (DCC/Sound)

Rapido Trains brings the quintessential North American passenger diesel to HO scale with this EMD E8A decorated for the Southern Railway in the green, white and gold Crescent scheme as unit 6901J. The body shell is patterned after a 3D scan of the prototype, so the nose contour is right.
