HO Scale LRC Trains

MSRP $329.95-DCC & Sound • $179.95-DC
ARRIVING 2010 Pre-order now!!!!

The LRC locomotive was powered by an ALCO-MLW 251F prime mover and is to Canadian railroading what Buzz Aldrin was to space exploration... it's the second fastest train in Canadian railroading history!

The LRC looked and sounded sharp at the head-end of a set of matching LRC coaches and LRC club cars. It could also be found heading up a wide variety of equipment, from VIA and ONR conventional steam-heated passenger cars to Amtrak's Amfleet and Horizon cars.

The VIA LRC locomotive powered VIA trains in the Corridor and the joint VIA-ONR 'Northland' between Toronto and Kapuskasing, Ontario. It also powered the International using Amtrak and VIA equipment between Toronto and Chicago. The Amtrak LRC locomotive was used in the early 1980s on demonstration runs in the Northeast Corridor and in the Midwest. The last LRC unit was retired in 2001. See below for paint schemes, product, locomotive, and car numbers.

The LRC locomotive sounded unlike any other locomotive ever built. To that end, we are working closely with Exporail, Canada's national railway museum. LRC locomotive 6921 is on display at Exporail, but it has a broken pump. Rapido Trains Inc. and Exporail are jointly covering the cost to repair 6921 and will be firing her up to record accurate engine sounds for the sound-equipped model. For that reason, the LRC locomotive release date has been pushed back to 2010.

In service for over 25 years, the LRC coaches form the backbone of VIA Rail Canada's Corridor fleet, and are the single most numerous car type in VIA's roster.

While Amtrak only operated its LRC set for two years, the same cars were repainted in VIA colors and saw many years of service on the Toronto-Chicago "International" finally being removed from service in the mid-1990s.

The LRC "VIA 1" First Class Club Cars are remodelled coaches, with more spacious seating and an expanded galley for heating up those sumptuous three-course meals. Your passengers will thank you for pampering them with this executive service!
