If they produce a FA-2 in SP&S I would buy them.  I will not pre-order from Rapido, but I would buy the engines.  I would have to research if the Canadian Pacific ran them in passenger service, if they did I would be tempted to pick one up.

If they do radial-roof NP-style boxcars in N Scale, I may actually get excited about a product announcement!

I'd by Ryan's Fowler Patent boxcar - for my narrow gauge.  The D&RGW standard gauge owned some of these, and when they needed new pipe gons for the narrow gauge, they cut the tops off and filled in the door openings.  The side trusses were never rebuilt, so the diagonals didn't meet the verticals at the new top of the sides. 

The NP radial roof boxcar would also be useful for my BN, but would probably end up in MOW service.

Thank you for the links. I would be looking for the older passenger scheme. I have a small train for fun to run to mix things up and I don't have any FPA units.
