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 Rock Island FT A+B pair in the red and black scheme of 1949 onward; pair 93 also carries the \"Rocket Freight\" logo. Close-coupled by drawbar or semi-scale couplers, with factory-installed ESU LokSound DCC and sound in both units and the MoPower system. Three pairs are offered.
