Model Railroading > Rocky Mountaineer Models

Over the past several years Rocky Mountaineer has commissioned a few runs of HO models of their fleet. First two photos are of Athearn GP40-2 models lettered for the Rocky Mountaineer and Whistler Mountaineer they came in two road numbers for each name which we have all four. The third photo is of a run of baggage cars (Used by the prototype as generator cars) there were 6 numbers done but we only acquired two these are Rapido Trains cars. There is no word as to if RMR will have models done for locomotives in the new paint scheme.

next is the RMR coaches there were 10 number done and we acquired all 10. Next came the Whistler Mountaineer crew car that lacks the "Coast Classic" logo the car is numbered 5718. Additionally there were two numbers in the Whistler Mountaineer "Coast Classic" scheme. All are Rapido models.

Lastly they produced from Rapido three numbers in the new colours. Like the prototype the cars all have to face the same way or the lines get out of sync. We acquired 10 of these cars making our RMR fleet 25 cars strong.

My daughter was given the RMR concept models for their first paint scheme, the models are professionally done in the white dark and light blue and purple colours, the set includes B36-7 7488 (ex-ATSF) a baggage dorm, and four coaches. The prototype baggage dorms were converted into baggage generator cars by RMR.

Lucky lady

I really like the Whistler Mountaineer train, but the Rocky looks great too! Now you need Ultra Domes, Bachmann started producing Alaska Cruise Train Ultra Domes!

How does one order the gold and blue cars? Thanks in advance!

Nice models. One that I did not know was out there.

After seeing the video of the model, now a I know why some say this trains reminds them of a cork screw or drill.
