New Production!
New Road Names and Road Numbers!
Revised tooling!

It’s been six years since Rapido's last run of amazing HO scale Super Continental Line coaches, and they were tired of seeing them go for silly money on eBay. So they are proud to announce the return of... The Lightweight Coach!!

These models have been improved from the original group manufactured all those years ago.

These improvements include:

  • All-new design with solid floors, solid sides and metal couplers! (No wibbly-wobbly bouncy-wouncy construction)
  • Window blinds at random heights instead of all the same!
  • Incredible detail that is still miles ahead of the competition!
  • Higher prices! (Well what did you expect? It’s been six years!)
  • In addition, they’ve added new road names as well as new road numbers on schemes that were previously available.

The Super Continental Line Lightweight Coach is based on a CC&F design, and it is similar to cars used throughout North America. It is available with partial skirting or with fixed steps and two different styles of trucks, as appropriate.

Features:

  • Revised tooling for more rigid assembly
  • Accurate dimensions
  • Fully decorated and assembled with factory-installed grab irons
  • Full underbody with all air, steam and electrical lines
  • Window blinds at different heights for each car
  • Operating diaphragms with etched-metal end gates
  • Magnetic metal knuckle couplers at the correct height
  • Free-rolling trucks (41-BNO-11 or 41-N-11 as appropriate) with metal wheelsets
  • Full multi-colour interior detail
  • “Easy-Peasy” battery-operated interior lighting
  • 22” Minimum radius
