Into realistic yard operations? This Rapido Trains EMD/Huntington slug, in grey, unlettered, is exactly that kind of standout piece.
What sets this model apart is Rapido's signature prototype fidelity. A “slug” is a traction unit with no diesel engine that draws current from a mother locomotive to boost tractive effort at low speed, in yard and transfer service. The “Huntington” slugs were rebuilt by CSX's Huntington, West Virginia shops from traded-in road switchers. Unusually, this Rapido model is motorized, so it can run on its own on your layout. An ESU LokSound sound decoder, working headlights and lights and a detailed interior: it is all here.
