These just arrived. Please excuse the smudge on my camera lens.

Mike's away so the three or four complainers will have to be satisfied telling Bill and me why you don't want to buy our products.   :D

Hmm... I don't like it
because it's blue...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Well, I don't post much but had to say that I am really looking forward to these. Will be in for a dozen or more in the Swifts, Wilson and Rifkin motifs. Maybe the 1950s collector set as well. Should be just the thing to run behind my ABA set of CGW F units.

Thanks!

Simply gorgeous in blue!  I love the finely engraved sides and roof, and the thin in-scale ladders.  Best I've seen so far in N scale.  You guys are the best!  I'm in for at least couple of dozen.

So it looks like they'll be a Conrail release?

I dunno. I figured, to be fair, I put an N scale car next to the screen, and reduced the photos to the correct proportion, and then put my eye 18" away.

Anyone who complains the board spacing is too wide will have to buy me new bifocals- cause as good as these look in S scale or whatever the photos are, they really look good in actual proportions.  OK, I'm in.  Just don't put them on the market until I get done paying off the Rapido Erie 10-5s and those heavyweight diners from that other company.

I know I risk losing my membership here for not complaining sufficiently about a Canadian company producing Canadian prototypes, but I am wondering if there might be a plan in the works to produce a Canadian Flyer coach (ala CN) one of these days (no offense intended to my NH friends).

Well, I do love it and can't wait to see the samples in Springfield.  Makes me happy that my table is only a couple of aisles over from the Rapido table, so I can sneak a peak and shoot the breeze every so often throughout the weekend.  8)

Are you sure that is an accurate Official Rapido Prototype Sample Car Blue?  I can't find this color in any of the historical bulletins!  I also find the graphics to be way to small, I can hardly even see them!  Other than that it looks great!! :D

The answer is always Conrail blue.

Amy plans of doing modern cars? Also, any dates on Prairie Shadows new gons in Conrail.

Seriously, this thread needs more Conrail.
