Unveiled by Electro-Motive in 1939, the FT proved on tour that a diesel could replace steam in heavy service, and the railroads ordered it by the hundreds through the war years. Sold as close-coupled A+B pairs, it worked freight and passenger trains alike. Rapido's return of the FT brings variations never before seen in HO: Rio Grande nose class lights, Western Pacific roof numberboards and wagon-wheel antenna, and Atlantic Coast Line's MU nose and modified pilot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set depicts a Denver \u0026 Rio Grande Western FT A+B pair in the five-stripe Prospector scheme, with the odd nose-top class-light casting on the A units, the gyralite, and the steam generator hatch on the B unit. Close-coupled, with factory-installed ESU LokSound DCC and sound in both units and the MoPower system. Three pairs are offered.
