The HO Amtrak NPCU Cabbage, featuring the Amtrak Veterans design #90221, is a meticulously crafted model produced by Rapido Trains Inc. Designed for model railroad enthusiasts, this model replicates the Non-Powered Control Units that were converted from retired F40PH locomotives during Amtrak’s rebuild program in the mid-1990s. These NPCUs, affectionately known as 'Cabbages' by railfans, play a vital role in modern rail operations by facilitating push-pull service, thus eliminating the need to turn trains at terminals.
