{"product_id":"rpi81017","title":"HO Amtrak NPCU Cabbage Non-Powered Control Unit Model (RPI81017)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HO Amtrak NPCU Cabbage is a distinctive addition to the railroad modeling scene, reflecting the innovation of the Amtrak service in the mid-1990s. This model accurately replicates the Non-Powered Control Units (NPCUs) that were converted from retired F40PH locomotives, designed for \"push-pull\" service. As these NPCUs no longer require a locomotive at both ends of the train, they optimize operational efficiency while providing engineer control from the cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith features that include a fully powered design available in silent DC, this model is also DCC ready with a 21-pin plug. Additional highlights include functioning strobe and marker lights, detailed etched-metal radiator grilles, and separately installed handrails. The retrofitted design is perfect for creating authentic regional train scenes across various locations from coast to coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFans of railroading will appreciate the accurate embellishments, like enlarged marker lights, windscreen wipers, and the classic K5LA horn. The model comes equipped with a reliable 5-pole, skew-wound motor for smooth operation, making it a standout piece for both display and dynamic layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rapido Trains (RPI)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47574364946484,"sku":"RPI81017","price":239.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/rpi81017_a0_9rka5hiq.jpg?v=1773319424","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/rpi81017","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
