Although scaled 1:87
for HO, the car will be
marketed as a non-
powered souvenir
display model with 5’
2.5” gauge wheel sets
to match the broad
gauge SEPTA proto-
type. The model will
be available only through the SEPTA Transit Gift Shop
. The possibility of a future powered conversion kit for
HO scale is under consideration by IHP as a separate project.
Many of the traction models offered by IHP in the past have
been made of cast resin components. The company plans to
transition gradually from resin casting to plastic. The Kawasaki
LRV represents IHP’s initial injection-molded plastic model.
