Thanks for sharing that, they look awesome in VIA as well.  I wasn't out at our club when the CP version came into Sudbury for a display from Rapido but I can only imagine what it's going to be like this year running the Canadian.

I just got back in May from my 3rd trip across Canada on The Canadian.  Never was around in the CP era, but I also have never managed to go 1st class and head to the park car.  Luckily of course us cheap coach riders get our own dome, and I usually take plenty of naps up there through the night.

Thanks

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Almost makes me want to run passenger equipment.

Rapido makes the best passenger cars.  As my passenger fleet is all Rapido, I would love to have a pullman tail/observation car in my road name with the tail lamps, lighted drumhead, even a operating mars lamp.

Sadly, Rapido feels offering these tail/observation cars in many roads would be a large financial gamble and not worth the investment due to the fact the market is "flooded" with passenger cars.     After seeing these Canadian cars I think they are sadly mistaken.

Clearly Rapido's passenger cars are a cut above everything else out there, but that comes with a price - a price a limited customer base is willing to pay.  These cars were $100 each.  To make what you would like, the price point would likely be a little higher yet.  Its a tough balance, making these incredibly detailed cars and still having a market to sell them at premium prices and make money.
