Prairie Shadows plans a fourth quarter arrival for the company’s first locomotive in its growing line of HO products. Featuring an injection-molded plastic body, an HO-scale GP20C-ECO diesel locomotive reproduction is coming from Prairie Shadows in non-sound, standard DC (with 21-pin socket for conversion to digital operation) and DCC-sound models will come with ESU’s LokSound V5 decoder. The ready-to-run release will be offered in six Canadian Pacific road numbers: 2237, 2241, 2247, 2253, 2263, and 2269 (featuring the red body with black from the sill down scheme with white lettering, as shown on the prototype below). The model’s highlights will include metal railings with plastic stanchions; accurate DOFASO trucks with rotating bearing caps; separately applied grab irons, hoses, wipers, and more; and operating ground lights, step lights, and interior lighting, as well as headlight and ditch lights. The non-sound GP20C-ECO lists for $209.99, while DCC-sound offerings carry a $309.99 suggested retail price.
