Built by Hawker Siddeley in 1968 for CN's intercity services, the Tempo fleet consisted of Coaches, Snack Coaches, Cafe-Bar-Lounges and Club cars. Equipped with Head End Power (HEP) — a first at the time — they required a locomotive with a HEP generator. Passed on to VIA Rail in the late 1970s, the cars then enjoyed a surprising second career: re-equipping the famous Rio Grande Ski Train from 1988, then returning to Canada on the Agawa Canyon Tour Train after CN bought them back. The model features a full multi-colour interior with individually installed seats, track-powered “Easy-Peasy” interior lighting operated by magnetic wand (included), and a fully detailed underbody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHawker Siddeley Tempo Coach in HO scale, VIA scheme (CN-VIA marks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoad numbers offered: 362, 369 and 375\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePerfect companion to the VIA Tempo 3-car sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull, multi-colour interior with individually installed seats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTrack-powered “Easy-Peasy” interior lighting and working marker lights operated by magnetic wand (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCapacitor installed for flicker-free lighting over dirty track\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete underbody with separate piping and conduit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDetailed diaphragms with etched-metal end gates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuper-detailed, free-rolling trucks and wheelsets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeparate grab irons installed at the factory\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReady-to-run model\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHO scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade by Rapido Trains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rapido Trains","offers":[{"title":"#362","offer_id":49222848544942,"sku":"1062005","price":159.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#369","offer_id":49222848577710,"sku":"1062006","price":159.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#375","offer_id":49222848610478,"sku":"1062007","price":159.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/0216\/1070\/files\/1062005-via_coach.jpg?v=1788204981","url":"https:\/\/modelebt.com\/en\/products\/rapido-trains-ho-voiture-coach-tempo-hawker-siddeley-via-rail","provider":"Modèle B.T.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
