Rapido is invoicing me for my order.  Looking forward to seeing these on the layout.

How many did you end up ordering?

I have a pile of BCR ones already from Red Caboose. I know they will not be as prototypical but instead of replacing them all I ordered a six pack.

I seem to recall that I have three kinds of cars from Red Caboose and that the Rapido cars are a better version of one of them. But I can’t remember the details. Maybe someone could help jog my memory?

Craig.

Edit. Disregard. Thanks Ed earlier in this thread!

I ordered 4 in different schemes.   I have a lot of the Red Caboose models and they look pretty good to me.

I will probably grab a few, but I have so many RC and they were not common in the late 80's that I'm mostly good. I actually have around 30 of the RC on the surplus 'for sale' column on my roster, just figure now isn't the time to put them on the market.

Of the RC cars picture above, the first two are closed to the proto, the other two are not. Its all about the truck center
Which ever side of the track I am on is the right side.
