USATC S160 by Rapido Trains UK - Launch 

Welcome to the launch of the OO Gauge USATC S160 locomotive by Rapido Trains UK!
Today (6th June 2024) is the 80th Anniversary of D-Day and Operation Overlord, so we thought it would be the appropriate time to unleash the locomotive that was built with the liberation of Europe in mind, the USATC S160.
To find out more about the history of the class and the individual locomotives, take a look at our video.
To place your pre-order, head to our website or any of our approved retailers.
