Description

The EMD FT is the locomotive that dieselized America, and Rapido's HO scale rendition arrives here as a Boston & Maine A+B set in the maroon and gold Minute Man scheme, carrying road numbers 4201A and 4201B.

  • Roadname-specific body styles and detail, with correct class detailing
  • Etched-metal grilles
  • Full multi-colored cab interior
  • Directional headlights
  • Both A and B units powered, each with a five-pole motor and flywheels
  • MoPower capacitor system keeps the set moving over dirty track
  • Factory-equipped full-featured ESU LokSound DCC sound decoder
  • Runs and sounds off out of the box on DCC, and also operates on conventional DC
  • Ready to run, no assembly required

Built from 1939 to 1945, the FT was the first commercially successful diesel road freight unit and gave the world EMD's bulldog nose. Each unit had a 1,350 hp 567 prime mover; 555 A units and 541 B units were built, most working as semi-permanently coupled 2,700 hp A+B sets, many into the 1960s.
