Despite only being 12 feet tall and 63 feet long, it packed a 3750 HP Alco 251F prime move plus two 250 KW Stamford alternators to provide Head End Power. It was built for 125 MPH operation, though it was restricted to 100 MPH in service. Nevertheless, the LRC pulled the Metropolis express between Montreal, Dorval and Toronto throughout the 1990s. At 3 hours 59 minutes for the 335-mile run, this remains the fastest scheduled passenger service in Canadian railway history. Just think about this: after Canada spends tens of billions of dollars on high speed rail, the travel time of the Metropolis won’t be improved by all that much. It makes you realize how amazing the LRC truly was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur new run of the LRC locomotive features some significant improvements:\u003cbr\u003eWorking headlights, ditch lights, number boards\u003cbr\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003cbr\u003eIncredible underbody detail including separate piping\u003cbr\u003eDifferent rooftop details for different paint schemes\u003cbr\u003eAccurate LRC Locomotive sounds on sound-equipped models\u003cbr\u003eWill operate smoothly on DC and DCC layouts\u003cbr\u003eEquipped with MoPower capacitor, for uninterrupted DCC operation\u003cbr\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, the model features:\u003cbr\u003eMeasured from preserved LRC 6921 and original blueprints\u003cbr\u003eEtched-metal grilles with radiator fan detail\u003cbr\u003eFull cab interior\u003cbr\u003eFull lighting package: headlights, ditch lights, marker lights, backup light, track lights and strobe light\u003cbr\u003eSeparate metal handrails, grab irons and lift rings\u003cbr\u003eOptional bug deflector \u003cbr\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur LRC coach model, based on the LRC-2 and LRC-3 design, includes all the necessary LRC details.
