PA-1, Missouri-Kansas-Texas – Shadowlined #152

The popular Alco PA and PB series returns for a second run! Following the success of the first run, Rapido is pleased to offer new schemes and variations. On this run you’ll notice certain roads now have the larger flat number boards as well as the original side boards. New pilots will also grace the front of select models.  We are also excited to offer the red Alco-GE and the short-lived MLW-GE demonstrator in the Canadian National scheme, in addition to the new schemes being offered. As usual, the Alco PA and PB Locomotives feature the highest quality, road-specific details, silky smooth drives and razor-sharp paint and printing.
