N Dash8-40CM Locomotive with DCC and Sound, CN #2401 (RPI540533)

The N Dash8-40CM Locomotive, adorned with the Canadian National #2401 road number, marks its return in N scale, featuring a remarkable level of detail and seamless performance characteristic of Rapido N scale models. Originally introduced in 1990, the Dash 8 series was notable for its operational versatility, with a fleet that saw service stretching from Alberta to Florida due to Canadian National's acquisition of BC Rail.

This model is meticulously scaled from prototype blueprints, ensuring authenticity in every aspect, from roadname-specific details such as bell position and headlight configurations to operational aspects like factory-installed ditch lights. It comes with a heavy die-cast chassis that houses a powerful motor and dual flywheels, ensuring smooth operation. Additionally, the locomotive features operational headlights, rear lights, and is equipped with separate grab irons and handrails, adding to its realistic appearance. Depending on preference, the locomotive is available in DC/Silent (DCC Ready) or DC/DCC/Sound with ESU LokSound for an immersive user experience.
