has announced
plans to produce an
N scale EMD FL9
locomotive. Built
between 1956 and
1960, the FL9 was a
dual-power loco-
motive able to
operate as a traditional diesel-electric as well as on direct elec-
tric power. This allowed it to handle New Haven Railroad’s pas-
senger trains in and out of New York City’s Grand Central
Terminal without the need for an engine change. This is the
first time a plastic version of this unique locomotive has been
produced. Rapido is cutting new tooling for the models that
