Rapido Preorders

Rapido Trains preorders — Canadian-prototype locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars and cabooses from the Markham, Ontario manufacturer whose catalogue is the deepest in the hobby for CN, CP, VIA Rail, GO Transit, BC Rail and the TTC, alongside a growing list of US road names. Rapido tools each model to a specific prototype, and Canadian schemes are usually the first to sell out.

Open runs: new in HO scale, the GO Transit 60th Anniversary Sets (GP40TC, cab car and two coaches), the Budd RDC Rail Diesel Cars (RDC-1 and the new RDC-9 — VIA, CN and ten US roads), the Trenton Works 5277 cu.ft. Boxcars (CN, Ontario Northland, Atlantic & Western and Tomahawk), the CNR H-6-d / H-6-g 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler, the CN SW1200RSm “Sweep” (CN, CANAC and Savage), the GE B23-7 / B30-7 / B30-7A, the EMD FT A+B, the EMD SW10 (including CP Rail) and Amtrak Horizon Coaches; the HO Gunderson 53’ Husky Stack Well Cars (CP, TTX, Ferromex and AOK, with and without 53’ containers), the N scale BiLevel Commuter Cars, the first-ever N scale GMD F59PH (GO Transit, AMT, West Coast Express and eight US commuter roads), and in HO scale TTC CLRV Streetcars, Canadian Piggyback Flatcars, PGE / BC Rail Squamish Cabooses, NSC 89’ Autoracks, Tempo Passenger Cars, EMD GP40, EMD F40PH, Santa Fe CF7, Comet I and Comet II Commuter Cars, and the Denver Ski Train.
