Product Overview Rapido’s HO scale CF7 captures one of railroading’s most recognizable rebuild programs with outstanding detail, prototype-specific variations, and premium DCC/Sound performance. This Farlin Terminal #1534 Home Shops Exclusive represents the square cab version of the CF7 and features factory-installed ESU LokSound for realistic operation right out of the box. With etched details, multiple body variations, separately applied grabs and handrails, detailed underbody piping, Cannon & Company licensed radiator fans, a heavy die-cast chassis, and Rapido’s MoPower capacitor system, this CF7 combines rugged rebuilt appearance with modern HO scale refinement. The Amazing CF7 Locomotive The CF7 originated as part of Santa Fe’s ambitious rebuild initiative, transforming aging F-unit locomotives into practical road-switchers for continued freight service. The result was a locomotive unlike anything else on the rails — blending EMD cab-unit heritage with switcher-style functionality and a completely unique profile. After their Santa Fe careers, many CF7 locomotives found second lives on shortlines and regional railroads where their reliability and compact size made them ideal for local freight and industrial operations. This Farlin Terminal version perfectly captures that independent railroad spirit, pairing the unmistakable CF7 silhouette with a bold and memorable exclusive paint scheme designed to stand out on modern-era layouts.
