HO GE 44 Tonner Switcher Locomotive B&M Minuteman #115 (RPI48005)

HO GE 44-Tonner Switcher Locomotive in Boston & Maine Minuteman livery, number 115, is an HO-scale model of the compact diesel designed for light yard switching and industrial work, offering an authentic, ready-to-run representation for HO layouts.

From all-new Rapido Trains tooling, the model covers multiple phases (Ic, III, IV), with variations such as lighted hood-side number boards on Phase Ic and positionable top hood hatches on Phase III. It rides on a heavy die-cast chassis, includes a full cab interior, photo-etched cab steps, and separately-applied door latches. The action is powered by a smooth coreless motor with dual flywheels, and it comes in DC versions that are DCC-ready with NEXT-18 sockets and speakers, while DCC-equipped versions add sound with ESU decoders and a power capacitor for reliable, realistic operation.
