Rapido 28577 HO Scale Lackawanna (DL&W) EMD E8A #812 (DCC/Sound)

The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western dressed its EMD E8A passenger units in a handsome gray, maroon and yellow livery, reproduced here on Rapido Trains' HO scale model of unit 812. The E8 body shell is patterned after a 3D scan of the prototype to get the nose contour exactly right.
