Overview

Rapido is happy to announce the next in the series of classic Alcolocomotives, the Alco FA-1 and FB-1

Between January 1946 and October 1950 a total of 440 FA-1s and 240 FB1s were built by Alco and their Canadian subsidiary, Montreal LocomotiveWorks (MLW). They were originally sold to twenty-five railroads in theUS, Canada and Mexico. The FA-1 (and booster FB-1) were rated at 1500horsepower and was designed primarily as a freight hauler.

In a market that was becoming dominated by EMD products, the FA-1came in a distant second due in part to reliability issues with its 244 primemover. Still, they were popular with several roads and could be found atthe head of freights int the late 1960s.

Following on to Rapido’s FPA-4, FA-2 and PA loco models, the new FA-1/FB-1models continues the Rapido tradition for accurate Alco cab units withunsurpassed detail.

Rapido’s new HO scale FA-1/FB-1 features:

  • Correct nose and windshield contours
  • Flat or angled number boards as appropriate
  • Dynamic and non-dynamic brake versions
  • Etched side and fan screens
  • Heavy, die-cast chassis
  • 5-pole motor with dual flywheels
  • Operating headlights, class lights and back-up lights
  • Full underbody piping and conduit
  • Separate grab irons and handrails
