The Super Continental Line brings new meaning to the term "museum quality." Our first seven car styles are the Lightweight Coach, 4-8-4 Duplex Sleeper, Cafe-Bar-Lounge, 10-5 Sleeper, Leg-rest Coach, Baggage-Express car and the "Oh, So Steamy!" Steam Generator Car. Not all car styles are available in all roadnames - please check your favourite roadnames to see what styles are available. Click here to read more about our passenger car features. More car styles will follow later in 2008, with completely new tooling.
A Note About VIA Rail Canada Yellow Stripes: Our latest VIA Rail Canada passenger cars have the correct color striping, taken from a real VIA stripe. Both Jason and Dan are VIA modellers, and we think that even though our new stripe is correct, it looks too dark on a model.
Our first release of VIA Duplex Sleepers and Coaches had striping that was too pale due to a breakdown in communication with our factory at the time. When we redid the Duplex Sleepers and Coaches in the spring, the striping was a lot closer to what we had in mind, but it was still too light.
So for all future passenger cars, we will use striping that is slightly lighter than the "correct" yellow, but darker than the first two "pale" yellows. We will provide decals to our VIA customers -- at cost -- with new stripes that are the same shade so you can upgrade your older VIA cars that have the pale striping, if you so desire. We will provide more information about how to get the decals and how much they will cost in a future edition of the Rapido Telegraph, as well as on this web page.
Don't forget to order your Upgrades - replacement batteries for your passenger car lighting, as well as "Easy-Peasy" Passenger Car Lighting Sets and super-detailed trucks for your existing passenger car fleet. You can order all of these from your local dealer.
