The Rapido 16302 is an HO scale Budd RDC-1 in the Boston & Maine McGinnis scheme, car #6112 — DC/Silent (21-pin DCC-ready). Road-specific details: Phase Ic body.
Budd's stainless-steel Rail Diesel Car carried passengers on branch lines and commuter runs across North America for more than 60 years. This Rapido run adds the RDC-9 — the cab-less, single-motor "powered trailer" Budd built for the Boston & Maine in 1956, most of which later ran for CN and VIA until 1988 — alongside RDC-1s in a long list of new schemes and VIA Rail's 2010s rebuilds.
