HO GE 44 Tonner Switcher Locomotive NYO&W Grey #101 (RPI48017)

HO scale GE 44-tonner switcher locomotive in NYO&W gray captures a compact diesel built for light switching and industrial work on a model railroad. Weighing about 88,000 pounds in real life, these 44-tonners were designed to operate with a single engineer, saving crew costs for small yards and shop tracks. This model brings that practical workhorse to life with period-correct NYO&W styling for versatile operation on industrial layouts.

From Rapido Trains, the HO GE 44-tonner features all-new tooling with multiple phase variations—Phase Ic (with or without lighted hood side number boards), Phase III with positionable top hood hatches, and Phase IV—plus a heavy die-cast chassis and fuel tank, two styles of fuel-tank skirting, and finely detailed touches such as separately applied door latches and a full cab interior with photo-etched cab steps. It runs smoothly on DC layouts and is available in DC-ready form with a decoder socket and speakers; DCC sound-equipped versions include ESU decoders and built-in sound, aided by a power capacitor for stable operation.
