Dear HO Scale Customers; Rapido has announced the release of a set of Toronto Transit Commission G-Class Subway Cars. The first Subway Cars in Toronto! Available in both DC/Silent version and DC/DCC/Sound. Check them out!

It all started in 1951, when the Toronto Transit Commission contracted the Gloucester Railway Carriage and Wagon Company in the UK to build the cars for Canada’s first subway. The original line ran under Yonge Street from Union Station in the south to Eglinton Avenue in the north, opening on March 30th, 1954. This line is still in service today as the southern half of TTC’s Line 1. These unique rapid transit cars featured bold red paint with yellow stripes both above and below the large picture windows.
