FP9A LOCOMOTIVE PRODUCT GUIDELINES
Thank you for purchasing this Rapido Trains Inc. FP9A locomotive! For almost six de-
cades, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific fans have been unable to obtain ac-
curate models of the FP9A, probably Canada’s best-known passenger locomotive. Our
model is an attempt to rectify that injustice. It has been designed from the ground up
as a London-built General Motors Diesel Division (GMD) FP9A. It is not an FP7, an F7,
an F9, an FP7 with an extra louver, or any other hodgepodge that has previously been
passed off as an FP9A. We hope that this will be the only FP9A locomotive that you
will ever need!
Our sound-equipped FP9A locomotive is powered by a Soundtraxx Tsunami decoder
and can be operated on DC or DCC layouts. We recorded the sounds ourselves on the
roof of FP9A #6505 at the Conway Scenic Railroad. You can watch our recording ses-
sion on our YouTube page: www.youtube.com/rapidotrains. To enjoy all of the lighting
and sound features, you will need to use a DCC system.
Our DC-only model includes a 9-pin DCC plug so you can attach the DCC decoder of
your choice, such as the TCS T-Series decoders.
