Canadian National - "Rapido" Wet Noodle (1961)

Rapido. Introduced by CN in 1965 it became synonymous with fast schedules, fine service and an exceptional dedication to the passenger.  The Rapido initially ran between Toronto and Montreal, and later between Montreal and Quebec City, Montreal and Ottawa, and Toronto and Ottawa.  CN refurbished five of its Lake-series parlour cars into new Club Cars, featuring 2+1 seating and drinks served at your seat.  At least three of these cars had the distinctive RAPIDO name in bold Helvetica lettering emblazoned on the side.  In 1971 the cars were modified again with the expansion of the drinks cabinet into a full galley, the seating capacity reduced to 38, and the seats themselves given a modern refit with fold-down tray tables for at-seat dining.  And Club Deluxe service was born, with full-course, hot meals delivered to your seat.  In their day, the Club cars represented the pinnacle of day travel in Canada.

PLEASE NOTE: The only decorating difference between the 1966-1973 locomotives is the typeface used on the number board lettering. If you would like more models based in the 1960s or the 1970s you can order all four and then simply reletter the number boards with the correct typeface. Number
Board lettering decals will be available from Rapido once the models had been shipped.
