DC/DCC/SOUND EQUIPPED MODEL
Limited Edition with an engraved wood presentation box numbered and signed by Amtrak's Matt Donnelly
2021 marks the 50th anniversary of Amtrak, the US national passenger network. Amtrak has defied all the odds to reach this incredible milestone, and it's important that we celebrate this tremendous achievement.
In celebration, Rapido is honored to offer a special LIMITED EDITION model of Amtrak #4316, the first E-8 that Amtrak painted in what would become a one-off paint scheme. The E8 was the backbone of Amtrak's early locomotive fleet, and what better way is there to celebrate America's national passenger railroad?
Each sound-equipped model of 4316 will be packaged in an engraved wood presentation box and include a unique enamel pin as well as a numbered certificate of authenticity signed by Rapido president Jason Shron and Amtrak's Matt Donnelly. Rapido will not be reproducing this model in the future. You've got one chance to get yours.
