In looking at the Rapido cars, the windows seem to be the same as GN cars
except I don't see any of the small upper berth windows in the Rapido cars that
are there in the GN ones. Underbody details are not the same either.

Sorry - saw GN cars though Walthers, not Rapido. The Rapido cars are
excellent examples of models of prototype CN cars and are somewhat
close in some ways to GN cars... The Walthers cars are built from
plans for GN cars.
