Looming Reservation Dates
June 30 - Super Continental Line 6-4-6 Sleeper and Grill-Parlor cars.
All Rapido Trains Inc. products are produced strictly to advance reservations. Only in this way can we keep coming out with the continuous variety of new products that we all want.
The order deadline for the all-new Super Continental Line 6-4-6 Sleeper and Grill-Parlor cars is fast approaching. Some distributors and dealers have not yet finalized their orders, so if you or any of your customers want any of these great cars, PLEASE get your orders in to us by June 30.
Some schemes for the all-new Super Continental Line 6-4-6 Sleeper and Grill-Parlor are still lacking enough orders to produce (click here for a listing of these schemes).
So please, if you're interested in any of these products, save them from cancellation by reserving in advance with your dealer.
If we receive enough orders on these cars before the end of the business day on June 30 they will get a reprieve!
We know that some distributors and dealers have not yet finalized their orders, so if you or any of your customers want any of these great cars, PLEASE get your orders in to us by June 30.
WHERE ARE THE OSGOOD BRADLEYS??????!!!!!
Production is moving along well at the factory on the HO scale Osgood Bradley 10 window coaches. Unfortunately, due to delays from some outside vendors we're running behind schedule. The first of these cars have left the factory and will be here by the end of June, with the remainder shortly afterwards. We do appreciate your patience.
Save the LRC Update
Since Jason announced the Save the LRC campaign on behalf of the Toronto Railway Historical Association last month, the TRHA has raised almost $20,000 in donations! That means the fledgling Toronto Railway Heritage Centre is halfway to its phase one goal of completing the purchase of this historic locomotive.
If you would like to help preserve this important piece of Canadian railroad history, please click on the image below. The TRHA is a registered charity. Please note a donation to the LRC campaign does not in any way contribute to Rapido Trains Inc. Last time I checked, model train manufacturers did not qualify as charities. Then again, with the state of the economy these days, that could be up for debate......
New Realeases
The last cars from our first round of HO scale Wide-Vision Cabooses are arriving at Rapido this coming week - the long awaited Canadian Pacific cars. These cars were of course the prototype for our model and also the best selling scheme in the first group. We will be shipping them out to dealers and distributors as quickly as we can get them packed up!
Also in this shipment are more of our N scale "Easy-Peasy" lighting kits. We do try to keep these in stock at all times, but the last batch sold out much faster than we had planned. We apologize if you've been unable to get them over the last few weeks.
