Just a little Rapido Update

The Rapido N scale GMD-1 is in production; we're just finishing shells and getting ready to begin assembly in a month or so....



It's "purdy" (to all those who don't accept Jason's "yucky green" theory.......)

All things being equal I hope to see these little guys here late December but the realities of trans Pacific shipping at the end of the year means January is more likely..... (same thing for the passenger cars.... boats ain't as easy to schedule as trains, or so I am learning...)

Go Yucky Green !!!!!!!! :trollface:

I agree wholeheartedly with Jason's opinion of the G&G scheme.

Eagerly waiting for my CN and NAR units to arrive. And the BB CN 1400's.

As Mr Scott might say..."There be N scale cars Captain...."





Final sign off on the 10-5 and Café Bar Lounge has been done and we're making cars.... Hope to have these on the water early - mid November.... They will arrive in two batches, US road and then Canadian.....

Finally; the N scale cars have come back to Rapido....(with apologies to the Rock for swiping his tag line.....)

Oh my...  So, since Pennsy freight cars were generally as road-specific as its steam, it must be a freight car commonly found in pool service...maybe an REA express reefer?
