Thanks Dave, stay on them! I really want a set of Q cars! Should I admit to ordering a set of the RI bi-levels… I’ll drop a non-subtle note to the guy I worked with 😃
Keep up the good work Dave!

Jeff,
All they have to do is to ask me. I se t them copies of the original Budd molars at the onset of the project.

Subject: Re: [CBQ] Merry Christmas from Rapido
I agree, if you spoon feed Rapido everything they need, they will produce a good model.
I sent them a mountain of photos and my original decal artwork for the recent Rock Island bicentennial E8 “Independence” and they were very happy to have it.
A black striped E8 or E7 is very possible if enough of you demand it (I’m a red striped E8 or guy so…) and get them the proper information.
I’ve been waiting for Q bi-levels too. As I understand it, there are no ‘original’ condition Q cars in existence. They’re having a hard time figuring out the original under frame equipment configuration. If you have diagrams or photos - send them in to
Rapido!
BTW, not my era, but I am all over that “Train of Tomorrow”!!!
Thanks
Jeff

I'd also like to see the black nose versions, hopefully on the next runs. As a Rapido retailer, I can say they do listen to the customers and the E units sell well, so additional runs may be in the planning stages. Interesting to see them doing the
Train of Tomorrow. I also play with O scale and have the Golden Gate Depot set in UP colors. It may not be Q, and most folks know how I love my Q dome cars, but it's nice to see it get some attention.
