HO SC-42 Locomotive Charger Via Rail Canada 2200 (BAC69001)

HO Scale VIA Rail Siemens Charger Locomotive (SCV-42) in VIA Rail Canada livery, number 2200, is a highly detailed model of the modern passenger locomotive that powers Canada’s eastern corridor. This Charger locomotive is developed in collaboration with Siemens Mobility, using original design documentation and prototype field recordings to deliver authentic proportions and features. It is equipped with DCC sound and a dual-mode NMRA-compliant decoder for operation on both DCC and DC layouts, and it rides on a die-cast chassis with visible engine details through clear cab windows.

Built for realism and smooth operation, the model features magnetically operated E‑Z Mate II couplers on both ends, separately applied metal handrails and grab irons, and detailed see-through trucks. A full lighting suite includes directional headlights, ditch and marker lights, interior corridor lighting, and lighted number boards with Rule 17 dimming. A Keep-Alive device helps maintain momentum on imperfect tracks, and TCS WOWSound delivers true CD‑quality audio that responds to speed. It also includes Canadian passenger announcements and an authentic emergency horn, with features that perform best on 22" radius curves or larger.
