MTM's HO Scale GP40FH-2 shell is proving quite popular and we've decided to make it a production item.

You'll need these to pull some of the nice Rapido Comet push-pull cars that are on their way from them! Order yours now from the IHP website at $45.00 with free shipping in the USA! Shell needs a GP mechanism and many are available in HO scale. ORDER HERE: http://ihphobby.tripod.com/hopages/hogp40fhpage.html
