LRC locomotive #6922 was painted in this striking blue scheme by the shop crews at VIA s Montreal Maintenance Centre. It was just a test and never actually ran in this scheme, but we thought it looked so amazing that we are releasing 6922 as it would have looked had it been returned to service in blue. The prototype only wore this scheme on the front and right side. We ve applied it to the entire locomotive so you can have this striking blue engine pulling your Rapido blue and yellow cars around your layout. UNDECORATED NEW! NEW!
