Oh HELL YES.

Time to turn in my watches for something equally superfluous.

Awesome model choice for Rapido!!

Quite a bit too modern for my own modeling interests, but they should be a slam dunk sales wise. These cars are like the Railbox 50' boxcar of the 90s through today.

Yeup, I will be getting one or two. Hopefully this helps drive down the price of the old Red Caboose ones as well!

Yes, these will be a huge win given how hard to find the Red Caboose offerings are now.  I may need to get a few 6 packs.

I can't figure out which version (solid top vs X-braced) goes with each road number.  I want to get some of the x-braced to mix up with my Red Caboose units.

Finally, and this look to have the correct truck spacing the the late RC cars were missing.

Bastards. They knew I would need a fleet of these to properly model my area.

I love center beams.......Time to reconfigure some industries or turn an area into a bulk lumber off loading site.

These look nice!  I will buy up to a dozen.

Honestly just about anyone in the modern era needs a fleet; unless you’re modeling a shortline that doesn’t serve a lumberyard somehow, they’re everywhere!

I'm guessing more than a year until we see these on the street. Rapido announced the GP20 last July and had samples in their video, this time there's only CAD drawings for the model. We'll see I suppose but either way I'm excited for these as they are sorely needed. Also if they hold the price at 44.95 that translates to a street price of between 38 and 40 dollars each.
