Rapido Trains Dash 8-40CM's Announced (N Scale)

Did I miss this somewhere or is this a new announcement from Rapido Trains today?  I had no idea such a beast from GE existed.  Good time to be in N Scale as the odd ball stuff seems to be coming out more.  Will have to get one or two as run through power.  Very cool!

Cheers,

Jeff Arnold told us that if we do this in N, it can't be a "Prime Movers" model. I agreed with him 100%, so I gave Gareth the remit to go to town on this project and make it so detailed it would make the HO guys drool. And that's just what he did.

You should package it with one of those plastic lobster bib.  Of course replace picture of lobster with train.

Hey guys. I don’t want to hijack the other thread about new announcements but since you’re hanging around here today... any updates on these?

They had the update on the video.  Basically everything N was announced now (basically so modelers could budget for their Canadian consists) and reservation deadlines will be announced later this year.

No I was wondering if they had an update on the Dash 8’s that were previously announced. I didn’t watch the video being this wasn’t a new announcement but I guess I need to unless someone wants to share. The website says September. I was just wondering if that is looking appropriate.

I think it will more likely be October or November, but pre-production is under way.

We've moved this to the LRC factory and they are making samples for us so we can show off a working model and reopen the order desk for a couple of weeks.
