Not at all; our product focus is Canadian prototypes with a bent towards CN and a growing focus on North-eastern US prototypes. We have not yet ventured into much "modern" equipment but we never say never at Rapido.

Oddities neither attract us or disqualify a project.....

so, when do you run out of weird Canadian prototypes  :D

Oh, I'd say we're A-ok with a never ending list of "weird Canadians"....... oh, you meant railway related stuff..... ;)
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Very, very nice. Not something I would ever run in my view of the world, but it's still a really nice model. Raising the bar, for sure.

Hey, Pud... Jason is clearly interested in producing oddballs. Can we convince him, maybe, to do an RS27? Please? :D


An RS27 !!!!????    That would be great! I would actually buy at least two.

Or perhaps a more market-friendly and ubiquitous CF-7?

Will these come in kit form like my last order of cafe cars?  I thought they were RTR but my bad.

You want to explain that comment.... because it make absolutely no sense whatsoever..... really; got an issue ? If so, have you contacted your dealer, distributor or us ? Was no one able to assist you...?  Maybe you'd like to approach your issue like a reasonable person..... :facepalm:

I feel like the RS-10/18 and rebuilds would be a great fit for weird Canadians......

Since you have admitted to a Northeast attraction to go with that Canadian bias how about a large drivered 4-6-2?

Mine came somewhat disassembled, I had to put it together. The holes for the trucks were not completely straight causing the trucks to be unlevel leading to derailing issues.  I put it together and fixed it.

6000 cars; yours is the first I have heard of with bolster hole issues; the very first. As for truck being off, occasionally rough handling cause this; but it us exceedingly rare. I can't even begin to address what you describe without seeing the car, then trying to figure out what the root cause is. All I can say is that it's impossible for a mfg. to fix issues they don't know about; and thus when they read comments in a totally unrelated thread that are an attack on their product they get pissed off; it's damaging and unfair.

I'm sorry your car wasn't to your liking.

Putting a truck on a car is on par with building an FSM craftsman kit! :ashat:
