Hi all, The 40th edition of Rapido News is now online: www.rapidotrains.com/rapidonews40.htmlWe're relaunching the LRC locomotive project and introducing new passenger cars as well. And a reminder that the deadline to reserve the New Haven Osgood Bradley Smokers and the NH and B&M Osgood Bradley 10-Window Coaches is the 1st of October. The new 10-Window coaches feature some lettering and skirting variations from the first run. Thanks for reading, Jason |

Hi. Maybe I missed them but what are the new passenger cars??
Keep up the good work.
Are you at all considering a freight car?

Thanks for reading, Jason Jason I watched the movie and it is impressive that the grills will go from those extreme temperatures and not warp!!! It is easy to understand that the channels allow them to slide and expand. Nice!! Now for the question of the day. I have one of the New Haven Hudsons. Which version of the smoker cars will go with the steam version of the train??The second question is, are you going to offer some of the F units detailed for any other railroads?? The credits indicate you were harmed during the test!!! I hope you are warmed up now or thawed out at least. Thanks for a great video. Larry |

You'll want the Hunter Green smokers for your steam-hauled New Haven train. I'm not sure about the F-units. The FP9A is a unique engine, and while the tooling is modular I'm not sure I want to spend the money to do an FP7 given that there are two other models on the market. We'll see. Maybe. -Jason |

Jason, I'd love to see you put the time and effort into your Alco/MLW FA project, maybe that could be made to cover the FA-2s as well as your FPA-4s.

Now there's an interesting thought, and a way to get a really top-notch FA2 to market for all those 1950's+ US roads that had FA2's... There is a glut of FA-2 models on the market right now. But an FPA-2 is another story... -Jason |

Maybe. -Jason Jason Thanks for the reply and the Green Smokers should be correct. You are correct about the FP7 and the money spent to retool for it would probably not justify the amount of sales. I was thinking more on the lines of F units in general and was wondering if you had any plans on making a standard F unit. Your unique grills and quality would certainly make the product sell well and we can never have too many F units. Thanks again. The videos are very interesting and keep them coming. Larry |
