The Rapido 1084025 is an HO scale three-car set of Comet II commuter cars — cab car #6101 and coaches #6151 and #6171 — in the Metro-North Modern Scheme scheme (2010+). Metro-North's West-of-Hudson Comets run between Hoboken, Port Jervis and Spring Valley in the modern silver-and-blue scheme; many cars carry Hudson Valley names.
Named cars in this set: 6101 "Storm King", 6151 "Henry Hudson", 6171 "The Water Level".
Designed by Pullman-Standard for NJDOT and built in volume by Bombardier from the early 1980s, the Comet is the most recognizable commuter car in North America; most are still in service today. Match them with Rapido's F40PH and P32AC-DM locomotives.
