RAPIDO HO STEAM GENERATOR CAR #H-4 RPI107146 For most of the 20th century, passenger trains were heated by steam. The problem was, once diesel locomotive use became widespread in the 1940s, there was no longer a guaranteed source of steam at the head end. Many railroads developed Steam Generator Units to create the steam for on-board heating. Our new HO Scale "Oh, So Steamy!" Steam Generator Car actually generates a steam effect and expels it through the "blow down valve" on the bottom of the car. Hook it up behind your locomotives, turn on the steam, ease the throttle, and watch as steam wisps out from underneath your passenger cars, just like it did on the real thing. The steam is non-toxic and actually cleans your track! And unlike most smoke-equipped steam engines, the steam fluid will not leave a yucky residue all over your layout. The "Oh, So Steamy!" Steam Generator Car also features working backup lights. You can turn the steam and the lights on and off using the Rapido Lighter (included). The car also includes EVERY pipe that is underneath the prototype - we banged our heads on the real ones enough times to know - as well as beautiful BX express trucks and painted grab irons installed at the factory. Several car numbers are available for each paint scheme. The "Oh, So Steamy" Steam Generator Car features: Real "steam" effect read more
