Model Railroading > Big Rapido announcement next week

Hi all,

This is just a heads up that we are announcing an all-new HO scale locomotive next week, either on the 1st or the 2nd.

The first place it will be announced is our newsletter. You can sign up here:

We received the first samples a few days ago. They look amazing.

We're also relaunching our well car and container. They have been upgraded beyond "Prime Mover" quality but the price remains the same. We have new samples of those too.

Thanks and regards,

Jason

We could use some more Galileo/Star Trek commemoratives!

UP BORG 40-2???

Great news. Let's have a guessing contest ... SD50/60F

IIRC, the clue was a U.S. built diesel, sort of contemporary . . . U25B? (Some of us still think the SD-45 is a new, big thing!) ;-)

Any updates on the NP HO scale arch roof double sheathed box cars?

B23-7

It’s a GE ET44AC.

I'd rather they do something that hasn't already been done well by somebody else.

From now on we're only making GEVOs.

Well that seems to be everyone else's strategy! :-)

In keeping with Canadian diesel icons, maybe an MLW RS-23?

I'd consider an RS18 and/or RS18u more likely.

I was thinking CN SD60F or CP/Star Trek RSD-17, but neither of those were US built... So I guess it's time for the SDL39 or F40PHR.

If you are referring to the Atlas ones, I’d rather see what Rapido can do.

My guess is a American built EMD SW1200.

Hmm, I guess the SW1200RS shares a lot of parts with those.

I'm gonna say some kind of C boat

Big EMD cowl for the win.

I love it when you do this Jason. It makes me feel like a kid again. <G>
