Rapido announces they will announce....

Scroll down a little to the announcement that they will make a product announcement...

So, what is the "terribly kept secret"?  I figure they already announced that they would announce the Turbotrain someday. But is it that, or something else?

And what is the most awaited piece of N scale rolling stock?

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

Too late for me- I have 7 sets of sides for them.  But that would be a great car for them to do.

More probable is an N version of their HO NH fluted-side car. All the draftwork/designs is done for that.
Again, something I'll wind up buying a bunch of ....but not as many as the Osgood Bradleys.

53' NSC well car CP Van or 3880cuft cylindrical hopper is my guess...

Hopefully not the Gunderson car they are doing in HO...

A Fowler patent boxcar would get my juices going... We need more non USRA single sheathed cars in N scale...

I was disappointed to see that there was no update on the baggage cars.

Ok, so they say:

N scale model #1 is a terribly-kept secret
N scale model #2 is a long-sought-after piece of rolling stock


I'll check back on June 26.  8)

The FA2, RDC, and new look bus  would be my druthers; with the 3800 cf covered hopper running up after a nap.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Putting my money on the 3800cuft and the Angus van.

Or the Canadian and the Turbo.

Or the C40-8M and the wellcar.

Or the LRC and the FA-2.

I actually bumped into the entire Rapido gang (except Jason) out foaming at Newtonville this past weekend. Was told that I'd be "pretty happy" with the N scale announcements, but nothing more... even after hours of torture, nothing specific.
