Rapido has had a very busy month with the arrival of EPs and colour samples for many forthcoming products.
First is the arrival of an engineering prototype for the forthcoming Caledonian Railway No.123. The Rapido Trains rendition of CR No.123 will be available in its post-1927 rebuilt condition. You can choose from the Caledonian Livery (Railtour Condition), both LMS liveries, and a sleek ‘What if’ BR Lined Early Crest variant. Priced at £249.95 for DCC-Ready and £364.95 for DCC-Sound fitted models, the order book is open.
Colour samples have also been received for the N gauge Class 45 and Class 46 locomotives, OO gauge Port of Par tanks, Andrew Barclay Fireless and also the eagerly anticipated Ivor the Engine Samples.
