Rapido 28547 HO Scale EMD E8A Union Pacific UP 924B - DCC/Sound

Bring authentic Union Pacific passenger power to your HO-scale roster with this highly detailed EMD E8B, featuring factory-installed DCC and sound for an immersive operating experience.

Rapido’s E8 tooling was developed from a 3D laser scan of a preserved Union Pacific E8, allowing the model to capture the distinctive contours and road-specific details that knowledgeable modelers expect. The heavy die-cast chassis and all-wheel drive provide smooth, reliable performance, while comprehensive lighting includes headlights, class lights, backup lights, ground lights, and cab illumination. Road-specific details, precision-applied Union Pacific markings, and the characteristic E8B booster configuration make this an especially compelling choice for recreating UP passenger consists of the 1950s and 1960s.

The prototype EMD E8 was one of the defining American passenger locomotives of the era, with E8s and E8Bs seeing service on premier trains across the country before many later found new lives in commuter and other secondary service.
