Rapido HO Scale ~ PA-1 ~ DCC Sound ~ Denver & Rio Grande Western #6013 ~ 23510


Rapido’s all-new HO scale model will be the first mass-produced plastic HO scale model of the PA series to feature completely accurate contours and road-specific details. Carbody contours have been generated using a 3-D laser scan of Doyle McCormack’s preserved unit. Both PA-1/PB-1 and PA-2/PB-2 variants will be offered.
