HO Scale Rapido CF7 Diesel Locomotives
Shop the latest selection of HO Scale Rapido CF7 diesel locomotives at Train Supply. Inspired by one of the most successful locomotive rebuilding programs in North American railroad history, the CF7 transformed retired EMD F-units into versatile road-switchers capable of handling branch line service, local freight operations, industrial switching, and regional railroad duties. Santa Fe rebuilt more than 230 CF7 locomotives at its Cleburne Shops between 1969 and 1978, creating a locomotive that would later find homes on railroads throughout the United States.
Rapido Trains has faithfully recreated these unique locomotives in HO Scale with road-number-specific details, multiple cab configurations, prototype-correct body variations, premium operating characteristics, and exceptional attention to historical accuracy. Whether you're modeling Santa Fe operations, a regional railroad, or a modern shortline roster, the Rapido CF7 delivers outstanding realism and performance.
