Re: [CBQ] Rapido CB&Q silver waycar

[Cy Svobodny <ctsvobodny@yahoo.com>]

Don't waste your cash.   It is a Canadian prototype,   Only the paint looks 
"Q",   Note: two chiminies(2 stove heaters) because it gets cold north of the 
border.   There are many American Wide-Vision cabeese on the market from 
Athearn, Atlas,  to name a few.  Athearn had a AT&SF prototype painted  "Q" 
years ago(still found at flea markets).   Grab the Walthers bible and start 
looking.   ...............CY

Subject: [CBQ] Rapido CB&Q silver waycar


  
Thanks very much to those of you who so kindly responded to my last posting.

Still seeking information on HO scale, plastic CB&Q (pre--merger) steel, silver 
waycars. Would someone please kindly look at Caboose Hobbies, item #0606110082, 
a Rapido new model of a CB & Q extended vision, steel, silver, waycar. 

Specifically, is this a proto-typically accurate length and paint scheme? It 
looks a little long.

Will the couplers mentioned mate with Kadee #5s?

What is the quality of Rapido models? I have no experience.

Would still like to get a waycar that looks like this but with the red stripe 
down each side. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.
