Dear HO Scale Customers,

We were talking to Rapido this morning and they told us the Fluted CP / CPR / Via fluted Baggage and Sleeper cars would be arriving next week. So we should have them in 2-3 weeks.
 

Rapido told us they were sold out except for a few cars from a couple of SKU's
 

We know we have many new customers since the original announcement went out last year. So if you want any of the CPR / CP Rail / Early Via or present day Via cars please put any orders in now. We will do the best to get you what you want but in some cases we might have to switch road numbers.

Following the success of our Superior Stainless Budd Mid-Train Dome, it is our pleasure to announce the HO scale Superior Stainless Budd Baggage Dorm! Pullman-Standard may have been America’s largest railroad car manufacturer, but Budd was without a doubt the most stylish. And Rapido’s new Baggage Dorm reflects that style. 

Baggage Dormitory cars were used on many trains throughout North America, providing baggage/express service along with sleeping quarters for the on-board service crew. In later years, many of these cars lost their bunks and were converted to full baggage cars. Our model is based on the Canadian Pacific prototype built by Budd in 1954/55. Many railroads operated similar cars. 

Like our RDC, our Superior Stainless Budd passenger cars are without a doubt the most detailed Budd passenger car models ever produced. 

Don’t delay! Get your order in ASAP. 

Each Baggage Dorm includes: 

• Realistic stainless steel finish
• Track-powered interior lighting compatible with DC and DCC layout
• Full underbody detail including separate air, steam and electrical lines
• Separate metal grab irons, stirrups and end gates
• Accurate D22 brake equipment and piping
• Super-detailed 41-NDO-11 trucks with end frames
• Full, multi-color interior detail
• 3D CP beaver shields on CPR models - not just a printed picture!
• Sprung diaphragms
• Metal Macdonald-Cartier knuckle couplers
