Rapido Trains Inc HO 28809 DCC/ESU LokSound V5 Equipped Rebuilt EMD E8A w/HEP Locomotive Conrail CR #4022

The Rapido Trains HO scale Conrail OCS E-unit locomotive features:

  • Accurate E8 sounds provided by ESU LokSound
  • HEP muffler for 4020-4021 and steam generator details for 4022
  • Dynamic brake options where appropriate
  • Sealed, twin-beam headlight configuration
  • Modified pilots
  • Correct side grilles
  • Rebuilt blanked sides (portholes removed) in two variations
  • Non-skirted fuel tanks
  • Three chime RS3L and Hancock air whistle air horns included
  • Hyatt roller bearing journal covers
  • Heavy die-cast chassis
  • Smooth running drive system with all wheels powered
  • Complete lighting effects – headlights, class lights, backup lights, ground lights, cab lights, Stratolite or beacons and more. *Not all lighting features will work in DC mode.
  • Optional user-installed ditch lights.

**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.

Prototype Information:

Rapido once again breaks new ground by announcing a first in plastic! Behold the HEP-equipped E-unit, used predominately in commuter and inter-city services.

Conrail Executive Units

Conrail was well known for their iconic blue locomotives, “can opener” logo and hot intermodal services. But perhaps the most elusive and best-dressed operation they ran was their Office Car Specials, complete with a trio of Pullman green E-units.

Numbered 4020 through 4022, these were the backbone of many OCS trips, right on up till the final day in 1999. The 4020 and 4021 were equipped with HEP, while the 4022 retained its steam boiler. Other spotting features included: porthole removal, lack of skirting, mini anti-climbers, dynamic brakes (sans the 4022) and cab mounted Leslie RS3L air horn. Despite lacking a HEP generator, the 4022 did carry HEP pass-through receptacles, making it capable of trailing or leading.
