Check out this amazing HO scale Rapido 24521 GE Dash 8 - 40CM Canadian National BCOL #4615 model train! It comes with LokSound and DCC. The picture might show a different road number. This locomotive is a gem. It's accurately scaled from prototype blueprints, with road - name specific details like bell position, single or double rear headlights, battery boxes behind the cab, horns, and CN or BCOL style ditch lights. The level of detail is insane, with air filters, separate pipes, and molded traction motor cabling. There's an optional split cooling radiator for CN and BC versions in a polybag kit. It has a heavy, die - cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels. The operating lights, including headlights, ditch lights, rear lights, rock lights on BCR locomotives, class lights, step lights, and track inspection lights, add to its charm. The newly tooled cab interior, fuel tank, and trucks are top - notch. Separate grab irons and handrails are factory - installed. You can choose between DC/Silent (DCC Ready) or DC/DCC/Sound (ESU LokSound) with twin sugar cube speakers. The factory - installed couplers are at the correct height. The Dash 8 - 40CM is back and better than ever, with full underbody details. A bit of history: it was introduced in 1990, with 55 units for Canadian National, 26 for BC Rail, and 3 for the QNSL in 1994. After CN bought BC Rail, these locomotives served across North America, even reaching Florida and Texas.

Using this HO scale model train is a breeze. First, connect it to your train track and power source according to the power type you've chosen (DC/Silent or DC/DCC/Sound). Once it's powered up, you can control the train's movement, and the operating lights will come on automatically. For those with the DCC and sound option, you can enjoy the realistic LokSound effects. When it comes to storage, keep it in a dry and clean place to avoid dust and moisture damage. To clean it, use a soft brush to gently remove any dust on the body, wheels, and other parts. If you notice any loose parts, like grab irons or handrails, be careful when handling and consider using a small amount of glue to re - attach them. And always handle the train with care to prevent any accidental falls or impacts that could damage its delicate details.
