| All- I agree….the fully skirted version has never been done ….in HO. When I worked on the Kato N Scale car inspected that the under frame detail be fully rendered so one could cut back the skirts to do the nude cars. I can’t believe that Rapido program ignored the cars that started the type and agree that it might spark interest.

I agree with David Streeter, even though I really don't need a Zephyr Slumbercoach since they didn't run on the portion of the Chicago to Mpls-StP line I model. I have the Walthers NP Slumbercoach for the NCL, and although I agree that the Rapido car is much nicer, I doubt I'll spend the money to replace what is a pretty decent car when using the 10 ft rule.
Did anyone else notice that in the Rapido newsletter they said "the orders were unbelievably terrible"? They followed that up by saying "So we're not making them yet. Instead, we realized that we have to do a little more marketing of these models in order for them to sell."
Maybe if they added the Zephyr skirted Slimbercoaches they would see a few more sales. But I'm not sure if the additional tooling to add full skirts would bring in enough sales to make it worth the effort and money.
