Product spotlight: Rapidpro

If you are not afraid to paint a few models, Rapidpro is your answer to the lack of N scale passenger vehicles. I have bought a few samples, and they are good. Very good. GHQ level detail. Accurate proportions. FXD leaves almost no residue to clean up and there are no observable striations. Prices could be better, but that is more a Shapeways issue. Check them out:

There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

The 1/160 stuff starts around page 10, btw.

Definitely some good looking stuff for my mid 80s needs.

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.
"It works! It works!"

If you go to the "Sort" menu and select "Newest" you'll get about two and a half pages of N-scale first without having to plod through the HO, etc. He really needs to re-do the categories.

I don't know Kisachie, (since they come in pairs) if you figure the individual cost, they're not bad.
