Rapido HO Budd Mid-Train Domes - First Release! Norfolk and Western

[NW Modeling List]

This is a model of the Canadian Pacific coach dome, painted correctly for Wabash/N&W; but the window arrangement and skirts are not correct for the Wabash/N&W car. Depends on how particular you plan to be. ConCor had a dome with the correct window arrangement, and almost correct skirts (but not available in Wabash colors); but it was much more crude than the Rapido car, and there was a height problem as well. Walthers also has a car with the same window and skirt problems as the Rapido car, but is better quality than the ConCor car. All things considered, the Rapido car is probably the best you are going to find.

Just a quick question for the modeling committee or anyone else of knowledge
about these. Are these domes generic or is this the real deal.
