Now that I'm working on N Rapido NH coaches to make them into parlor, baggage-lounge, and parlor-lounge cars (not that easy), I was wondering where I'd get the names for the County, New, and City Name lettering for the rebuilds. I already had the NH pass car set they made which had mostly Diner/Grill names, but I went to the MicroScale website anyway -- and found another totally new set!(60-207) I think they've got some of every series names there. They must have come out with that recently, and I wonder if it's because in HO Rapido has produced every one of the New Haven's fluted side passenger cars, and people wanted to rename duplicate models. Lucky they also made decals in N scale.
I don't understand that even though Rapido completely SOLD OUT every N scale model of those cars, and practically every HO version, Rapido has neglected to rerun the HO cars, and most annoyingly, only produced the coach in N. Yeah, but oh boy, they went full blast on those icons of the US rails: barrel ore cars! Most popular freight car of US railroads!!
Well, thanks to MicroScale, who still believes in doing right by N scalers. I guess repeat sales is something Rapido doesn't believe in.
