HO Amtrak NPCU Cabbage with DCC Amtrak Phase V #90225 (RPI81519)

The HO Amtrak NPCU Cabbage, specifically designed in the Amtrak Phase V scheme with DCC, is a model that captures the essence of the Non-Powered Control Units used by Amtrak. These NPCUs, known as 'Cabbages' among railfans, were created by converting older F40PH locomotives to facilitate efficient push-pull operations, allowing for streamlined train movement without the need to turn locomotives at each terminal.

This particular model features intricate details such as enlarged marker lights, supplementary air reservoirs, and an authentic K5LA horn, all contributing to its realistic design. Additionally, it incorporates operating and flashing ditch lights, strobe lights, and number boards that add to its operational capabilities. The model is equipped with Rapido's renowned 5-pole, skew-wound motor for smooth performance and comes with metal couplers for added reliability during use.
