The Rapido Trains Inc. Lightweight Coach
is a versatile, high capacity day coach designed to satisfy the needs
of your local and long-distance passengers on budget. Each car features
panoramic windows, three restrooms and comfortable seats with winged
headrests. There is ample luggage space above the seats and in the
luggage rack added to the B end of the car. The vestibule features
non-skid textured flooring so your passengers won't hurt themselves
when entering or leaving your train.
The Lightweight Coach
was originally a CN design, and it is similar to cars used throughout
North America. It is painted in a variety of paint schemes - if your
favorite railroad had a smooth side coach with large windows, chances
are we've painted our coach in your colors. It is available with
partial skirting or with fixed steps, as appropriate. Handy-dandy
uncoupling levers and grab irons are installed at the factory for the
benefit of your maintenance crews.
All of our Super Continental Line passenger cars feature battery-powered interior LED lighting which is turned on and off by our Rapido Lighter,
essentially a magnet on a stick. Wave the Lighter over the AC hatch on
the roof, and the lights turn on. Wave it again, and the lights turn
off. No more coach yards filled with lighted cars draining your power
pack, and no more flicker! Each car comes with a Rapido Lighter and two
batteries.
Replacement batteries are available separately, as are lighting sets so you can upgrade your existing fleet. CLICK HERE for more information on other Rapido Trains Inc. upgrades for your layout.
