Greg,

Is there any way to post the PDF so non NP group members could see it?

Thanks, Laddie Vitek

I'm new to this group, expanding from the NP-GN-SP&S groups in the Hill Lines family. I wanted to make sure all potentially interested see this information on the status of the NCL Day-Nite Rapido/NPRHA project.

Re-posting from NP-Modelers group, great work courtesy of Rich Leach:

Time is short for our Rapido NP day-night coach orders, so as a "Hail Mary," I put together the attached PDF with photos and some data for a typical  North Coast Limited consist.
It lists all the cars in this photo and then some.

And I'll add my pitch:
Rapido has set the MSRP price of $123.45 (as listed on their website) - the NPRHA website still shows the initial estimate of $150, which is now incorrect.

NPRHA member option: 8% discount, prices at $113.57, with initial $10 deposit payment now. With the $10 deposit, that leaves a balance of $103.57 a year or so out.

Rapido has a 5% discount, but is not requiring an initial deposit, just commitment to purchase. That puts the price at $117.28 a year from now, still a respectable price for the quality.
Rapido reports that the NCL is one of their most requested trains. With the CB&Q cars in the production run, I hope those who have not yet ordered, will reconsider and get your order in by January 15 to either Rapido or NPRHA.

Thank you.
