Bring one of Canada’s most iconic passenger trains to your HO scale layout with the Rapido Trains HO LRC Trainset in VIA Rail colours. Inspired by Bombardier’s legendary LRC — Light, Rapid, Comfortable — this complete trainset combines a powered LRC locomotive with matching VIA Rail LRC coaches, making it an excellent choice for recreating passenger service in the Quebec–Windsor Corridor.
The locomotive features a LokSound V5 sound decoder with remastered sounds recorded from preserved LRC 6921, Rapido’s MoPower capacitor system for improved reliability, high-quality speakers, and a full lighting package. The LRC coaches add even more realism with detailed interiors, track-powered interior lighting, working marker lights, and accurate prototype details.
