Description

$0.00 Pre-Order | Expected Delivery: June 2024!

On December 20, 1967 the United Aircraft TurboTrain rocketed to an amazing 170.8 MPH on the Pennsylvania Railroad in New Jersey. To this date, this is still the fastest speed ever achieved by a production train in the United States or Canada.

This set of a power car, coach and another power car toured the United States in 1971, to help introduce Amtrak. It made stops throughout the US to much fanfare. 

In 2022, Rapido Trains Inc. is delighted to announce Turbo 2.0. Finally, TurboTrain fans around the world can enjoy a model of their favorite train that runs and sounds as well as it looks. This TurboTrain represents the one Amtrak took on a national tour in 1971, to shwo off the new high-speed technology.

The Turbo 2.0 features:

  • HO Scale
  • Designed from original United Aircraft blueprints
  • New, smooth-running drive system with excellent slow-speed performance
  • Completely redesigned Single Axle Trucks with free rolling, needlepoint axles
  • Every wheel on the train picks up power for rock-solid reliability
  • Accurate colors on Amtrak models approved by Amtrak
  • Three different Power Dome Cars and six different Intermediate Cars for total accuracy
  • Bright, golden-white LED headlights and redesigned, roof-mounted SMD interior lighting system
  • ESU LokSound V5 decoders and high-quality speakers in each Power Dome Car
  • The only accurate TurboTrain sounds recorded from the last surviving prototypes in 1982
  • Will easily negotiate curves down to 18” radius
  • Works on DC or DCC
  • Turbo 2.0 is not compatible with the 2008 model.
