HO GE 44 Tonner Switcher Locomotive with DCC and Sound RGS Black / Yellow #38 (RPI48511)

Rapido Trains presents the HO-scale GE 44-Tonner switcher locomotive with DCC and sound in the Rio Grande Southern (RGS) black and yellow livery, road number 38. This compact diesel is designed for light switching, yard work, and shop use, delivering authentic detailing and reliable performance in a small footprint.

Featuring multiple phase variations—Phase Ic (with or without lighted hood-side number boards), Phase III with positionable top hood hatches, and Phase IV—the model rides on a heavy die-cast chassis and fuel tank with correctly styled fuel tank skirting. It includes a full cab interior, photo-etched cab steps, and a smooth coreless motor with dual flywheels for steady operation. DC models are DCC-ready with NEXT-18 decoder socket and speakers, while DCC-equipped versions come with ESU sound decoders and sounds and include a Mo-Power power capacitor for reliable, lifelike operation.
