Milwaukee Road ordered coaches and cab cars in 1961 and 1964, Rock Island added its own in 1965, and the RTA — Metra's predecessor — bought a large fleet in 1978. Milwaukee often ran them behind HEP-equipped E units, sometimes just one E unit and a single cab car, while Rock Island's stainless cars ran alongside its colourful Pullman equipment. The Budd cars are still Metra's largest coach fleet, and many former cab cars now run as dummy cabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned from original blueprints, drawings and field measurements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete interior with gallery seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant, flicker-free interior lighting in DC and DCC, with a MoPower capacitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControllable cab car lighting in DC and DCC — headlights, markers, and ditch lights and beacons where appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull underbody including HEP conduit; free-rolling trucks with metal wheelsets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal side grab irons, sprung diaphragms and tinted windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggested minimum radius 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rapido-ho-budd-gallery-preorder\"\u003eRapido Budd Gallery run\u003c\/a\u003e or browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rapido-preorders\"\u003eall Rapido preorders\u003c\/a\u003e.
