(This offer is optional) EMD’s E-8 (and successor, E-9) were the quintessential North American passenger locomotive of the 1950s through the 1970s. 450 E8A and 46 E8B units were produced, with an additional 100 E9A and 44 E9B locos following. The first E8s were delivered in 1949, with the last E9 being produced in 1964. These units pulled passenger trains from coast to coast, and later became the backbone of Amtrak’s fleet in its early days. Many more were later used in commuter service before being retired. Today several units live on in museums and tourist railroads throughout North America. What makes Rapido’s E8 and E9 models different than every E8 or E9 that has come before? Simple – we’re doing it right. Every E8 model out there is a “best guess” as to the nose, roof and windshield contours of the real thing. At Rapido’s we don’t believe in making guesses. That’s why we commissioned a 3D laser scan of Union Pacific E8 #942 at the Southern California Railway Museum. A 3D scan ensures that we get those impossible-to-guess contours bang-on accurate. Our engineers trace the scan and shrink it down to HO scale. Rapido’s E8 model features: 3D laser-scanned body shell Accurate nose and roof contours Seven different noses Three different back ends Two different sides – with and without lifting lug covers Three different steam generator options 36” fan, 48” fan or non-dynamic brake options Single- or dual-headlight configurations Freight or passenger pilots Three styles of side grills Original porthole sides or rebuilt with blanked sides (including unique variations) Skirted or non-skirted fuel tanks Original square and sloped or Hyatt roller bearing journal boxes Heavy die-cast chassis Smooth running drive system with all wheels powered Complete lighting effects – headlights, class lights, backup lights, ground lights, cab lights and more Numerous road-specific detail parts in both plastic and etched metal Below is a list of just SOME of the road-specific detail parts that we are producing: Four different sand filler hatch styles PRR Train Phone antenna Southern rooftop air tanks Southern large-capacity water tanks UP snow shields Cab-side walkways (2 styles) Pilot MU hoses ATS shoes PRR Nose lifting lugs Three different radio antenna Six different headlight/warning light inserts Various bug screens, mirrors, and wind deflectors Numerous grab iron configurations Several horn styles (in brass) And probably more that we’ve forgotten! Each E8A & E8B locomotive will have road specific details applied. Details are listed with each product. You can see a visual representation of the details by clicking the button below.

This 3/4 size coupler has an extended Trip Pin mounted on a narrow gauge coupler to use with light duty old time equipment. The #711 & #712 works with Kadee's® full size HO-Scale Couplers. With this smaller coupler, gathering will not be as great nor can they bear the same loads as Kadee's® HO Couplers. They should easily handle loads common to the pre-1900 era. This industry leading coupler features a plastic coupler and coil centering spring and comes complete with a insulated draft gearbox and lid. The #712 Magne-Matic® Split Shank Couplers may be body mounted on any flat surface; HO-Scale locomotives or rolling stock.(The #702 Coupler Assembly Fixture can be used to ease assembly) It is not recommended to use a metal coupler directly on a metal surface or in a metal draft gearbox to avoid possible electrical crossover and shorting that may cause damage. Unassembled KitRust colored 0-48 or 0-80 screws are the most commonly used screws.Screw length will very depending on the mounting situation.Package Includes: (2) Pair Unassembled Split Shank Couplers (2) Pair Unassembled Gearboxes & Lids (5) Each #712 Trip Pins (6) Each #636 Centering Springs (4) Each #402 Self Tapping Screws 0-48 x 1/4" #712 Split Shank Coupler Features: Material  -   Plastic Shank Length  -   (3/16") Coupler Offset  -   Centerset #712 Gearbox Features: Material  -   Insulated Plastic Dimensions  -   27/64"L x 15/64"W x 1/8"H Mounting Specifications: Mounting Height  -   11/32" Centerline  -   25/64" Trip Pin Height  -   1/32" Center Hole  -  0-48 Screw.

#454 HO Scale Swing Bracket Adaptor KitNo couplers included in kit.The #454 Swing Bracket Kit is designed to give the coupler extended swing and allows the negotiation of 18" radius "S" curves, switches and crossovers with prototypical close coupling. Swing Brackets with couplers installed on loco and car in "S" curve.One pair per package Coupler Conversion Info You must first identify the locomotive or rolling stocks manufacturer and type before looking the product up on the HO-Scale Coupler Conversions. Use the HO-Scale Coupler Conversions to lookup our suggested starting coupler* for the particular model. (Our conversions typically requiring the least modification to a model utilizing our newest couplers even though other couplers also work for the model). Once you have lookup our suggested starting coupler you can use our HO-Scale Coupler Conversions (How -To instructions and diagrams) to help you with the couplers installation process. Always check the coupler heights with either our #205 or newer #206 Coupler Height Gauge. Note: If the model came with Factory Knuckle Couplers it will not be listed on the HO-Scale Coupler Conversions under manufacturer there is a generic conversion for Factory Knuckle Couplers on the top of the HO-Scale Coupler Conversions. *Our conversion’s based on only one model from a production run, there may be inconsistencies in a model’s production run that require a different coupler or model modifications to achieve the proper coupler height for coupler function.

You may recognize it as “Buster’s Barber Shop”, a kit we only make available in O-Scale, or as a part of our “Booty Corner Kit”… just with a different name & theme.  This is the first time this kit has been offered “stand-alone”, so if you don’t need a complete street-corner kit now you can get this one by itself.The generic architecture and colorful signs are what this kit is all about.  You can figure on a 3-5 night build time depending upon your skill level.This kit could be developed into several things, one idea we had was a “Pool Hall”, another would be a produce market. Dimensions: 2.5 x 3.5 HO Scale
