Description
Pacific Electric #1652 wears the black and orange Tiger Stripe scheme, and Rapido includes the trolley poles these Southern California units carried. Rapido's HO scale General Electric 44-Tonner models the little centre-cab that let railroads work with a one-man crew: a 1937 labour agreement required a fireman on any locomotive over 90,000 pounds, so GE held these to 88,000 pounds.
- Pacific Electric black and orange Tiger Stripe, road number 1652
- Trolley poles as carried by these Southern California units
- Second run adds Phase Ia/b and Phase II bodies to the Phase Ic, III and IV tooling
- Two styles of fuel tank skirting, separately applied door latches
- Full cab interior and photo-etched cab steps
- Semi-scale metal knuckle couplers
- Heavy die-cast chassis with coreless motor and dual flywheels
- Factory ESU decoder and Rapido MoPower capacitor
More than 300 44-Tonners were built between 1940 and 1956, working everywhere from Class I shop and transfer jobs to shortlines and private industry.
