Horizon and Comet Cars in N & HO - Plus a lot more!

[ski]

What about here: https://www.nscalesupply.com/rap/rap-passenger-comet.html

I appreciate you looking for other sellers. I had already emailed N Scale Supply and they said they were tapped out as well. Most places have apparently not updated their websites since these have been released.  I hope this all means that Rapido is having success with the Comets (and Horizons) and will continue to introduce more products in N scale.

One last possibility: http://www.toytrainheaven.com/.sc/ms/dd/N%20Passenger%20Cars--Rapido/103830430/Rapido%20Trains%20Inc%20N%20Comet%20Cab%20Car%20Boston%20MBTA%2C%20DUE%207%5E2F30%5E2F2020%2C%20LIST%20PRICE%20%2469.95

Then, if that fails, there's always the brute force method of contacting every dealer listed on the Rapido website:

That’s one I was not aware of…thanks! I ordered and it took my money, we will see what happens. I have never heard of that store before so I hope they are legit.

Thanks again for finding this!

Good luck with your order.  Hopefully their website info is up to date, unlike that for some other dealers as you noted above.
As far as being a "legit" dealer, I've ordered from them multiple times without any issues, so that shouldn't be a concern for you.

The two I ordered directly from Rapido arrived. I'm very impressed with them out of the box, they roll very very well. So well in fact, I could use them to find slight grades in my layout that I may not have previously known about. The lighting looks good. I just hope the other place that claimed to have "preorders" available actually is able to fill the order I put in, otherwise I'm only going to have a Phase 6 Amtrak coach and a California Dinette.

Just got an email saying they won’t be filling my order...they don’t have any. The search continues!!!

That's unfortunate.

If these cars are only now being shipped to dealers and direct customers, then I'd check the MB Klein site every day looking for them to become available.
While they don't accept pre-orders, they used to have an option to request a notification via email when a particular item was added to their website so that it could be ordered.
It wasn't a reservation or pre-order, so you still had to place an order after being notified - and act promptly before the item sold out.
I'd inquire if that can still be done.
 
Also, I'd contact all of the dealers on the Rapido list that are located in MA.
Maybe, at least one of them has ordered some extra cab cars beyond just those that customers might have pre-ordered.

I contacted MB Klein earlier...they put me on their list for in stock notification.

I will try the MA hobby shop route as well.

If you don't get them that way, as much as it pains me to say it, start checking the big auction site in about a month. I'm sure there's sellers who bought them to flip them, the price will be the tough pill to swallow there.

Didn't they use actual roller berrings in these?

How does an NMRA gauge help you find grades?

 (Hint: it doesn't.)

Where did you get yours from? If it was from Rapido, did you get any shipping notification?

No. I reserved them at the Trainworld, and they arrived on Monday.  Paid the price I reserved them for:  $49.99 for coach, and $59.99 for the cab car.

No it helps you check if the wheels are in gauge.
