These small but capable 44-tonners were built for crew-efficient operation between 1940 and 1956, and this model captures that practical heritage with authentic detailing and options for DCC and sound to bring on-layout switching to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eConstructed around a heavy die-cast chassis and fuel tank, the locomotive features a full cab interior, photo-etched cab steps, and separately-applied door latches, with two styles of fuel tank skirting for added realism. It offers multiple phase variations—Phase Ic with or without lighted hood side number boards, Phase III with positionable top hood hatches, and Phase IV—reflecting the real range of 44-tonners built from 1940 to 1956. DC models are DCC-ready with a NEXT-18 decoder socket and space for a speaker; DCC-equipped versions include ESU decoders and sounds and a Mo-Power power capacitor for reliable operation. This HO-scale switcher is ideal for authentic industrial switching on your layout, delivering compact, lifelike performance and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rapido Trains (RPI)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47943116783668,"sku":"RPI48530","price":299.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/RPI48530.jpg?v=1782406169","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/rpi48530","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
