GMD SW1200RS CP Version
(w/LokSound & DCC)

Canadian Pacific  No. 8155

Canada's Most Versatile Engine!

The ubiquitous SW1200RS has been a mainstay of freight railroading in Canada since 1955.

Equally at home in the yard or on the mainline, the GMDD (General Motors Diesel Division) SW1200RS operated from coast to coast, and many are still in service today for short lines in Canada and the United States.

Canadian National and Canadian Pacific each rostered large fleets of the SW1200RS.

While internally identical, the locomotives had numerous spotting differences, such as the exhaust stacks, cab number boards, battery boxes, fuel tanks, classification (marker) lights and stanchions.

Rapido has tooled all of the major spotting differences between the two versions, as well as numerous variations between eras.
