HO Scale H16-44 DC/DCC/S CN Wet Noodle #2213 (RPI44536)

Rapido's HO Scale H16-44 Phase III locomotive for Canadian National is a highly detailed HO model that faithfully reproduces Fairbanks Morse's 1600-horsepower diesel from the 1950s and 60s. Road number 2213 is represented in CN livery, and the model is designed for DC operation with optional DCC-ready or DCC sound configurations, making it suitable for both traditional and modern layouts. This Phase III edition captures the real-world updates the locomotives received, including a raised walkway and simplified hood design, delivering an authentic CN presence on a home or club railroad.

Packed with road-specific detailing, the CN H16-44 features hood doors and separately installed grab irons, and offers both dynamic and non-dynamic carbody variants. It carries full underbody piping and conduits, lit number boards, headlights, and green-and-white class lights, plus a drive system derived from Rapido’s FA-2 for smooth operation. Prototypical trucks—Dofasco or Fairbanks Morse—along with road-name-specific fuel tanks and occasional steam generators, round out the realism, while Macdonald-Cartier magnetic couplers sit at the correct height for reliable coupling. With accurate dimensions and authentic detailing, this model brings a classic mid-century CN locomotive to life on the layout.
