[OldEastRR]

The times are EDST?

[GaryHinshaw]

3 pm EDT = noon PDT.  EDST is an oxymoron.

We'll be launching at 3 p.m. with a Facebook Live event: https://www.facebook.com/rapidotrains/
And then a newsletter will go out with more detail around 4 p.m.: https://rapidotrains.com/signup/

Not seeing the "event".
All it says is "Rapido Trains Inc. does not have any upcoming events."

Can't you simply post the news to your website and skip the drama?

Any relation to Bryan Busséy?

Can I ask why? Do you not want any or do you need all of them and don't want the temptation?

An Sw1200RS is much higher on the list of needs... as are the 3800cuft cylindricals.

The winner is  ---- Canadian GE Dash8  (full carbody)

Thanks for the summary. I don't own any BC Rail locomotives but that will change with the Draper taper. Very cool!

The other part that caught my ear was the Tempo for DRGW Ski Train...that would be cool in N after they take care of HO!

Nice one!  They still run in 2018, I could probably justify it, and I love the CN stripes version.

[ryan_wilkerson]

Should this be in the Product Discussion forum instead of Upcoming Events?

Oh yeah... someone mentioned that a while back. Though this was going to be a Prairie Shadows product?

[Philip H]

Frack me!  There was one of these running about in Baton Rouge in BC rail for a while.

Here are some photos.

The usual caveats - these are first test shots from the moulds. Not bad though, eh?

[Scottl]

Very nice.  This is a great pick for your next loco in n- thanks
