Re: Corrected RE: [CBQ] New CB&Q HO Scale SW1200s

Ricky, I know what you mean!  I've been able to acquire a fleet of old Proto, Atlas, and even old "fat" Athearn Geeps over the years and now we've got WalthesProto and Athearn Genesis coming out with Blackbird Geeps!  I haven't ordered the new Geeps yet or have decided to go with Athearn or Walthers yet.  I'll keep the old Athearn models since I'm fond of them even though it'd be best to not have them parked next to one of the newer Geeps!

Mike,

You are not making this easy on me!  I have one of the P2K models that I am applying the more modern Burlington lettering, then I saw the Rapido announcement.  Well, I guess I can always use another end cab switcher!

I'd prefer them to do the original slogans on the side instead of the more modern BURLINGTON but if they sell I'm sure Rapido will do the early scheme with "Everywhere West / Way of the Zephyrs" on the sides as well.  These models should put the old Proto SWs we all have to shame (and the Protos were fantastic when they came out originally!).

For those that were at Trainfest, the SW1200 pilot models shown in the video were on display at the Rapido booth.

Rapidio is making HO Scale RS1200s and CB&Q is one of the initial roads in the production series.
