Cars with toilets have a half-length window at the southwest corner where the toilet is on the lower level. They have a matching window on the upper level. I assumed when I was a kid (and have never

I hope Rapido sees this too. They can decide how faithful they want to be to specific cars. I never noticed these details, but I might start looking for them. -- David Streeter On 10/12/2022 5:47 PM,

My personal take on that is, air tanks are big enough to be seen while the model is running; brake valves are not. BUT... if they're going to get the tanks right, they might as well get the valves ri

Over the last couple of years, BNSF (UP too) has been busy converting its CTC so that the communication is handled within the new PTC infrastructure, which I believe is all fiber and uses radio only

That happened again with the BNSF merger. One solution someone found was to assign both units to the same train. The example I remember being noted in Trains was 4004 and 4004. They were an ATSF GP50

Of course, BN cars 796-820 also have toilets. I can understand if Rapido doesn't want to do separate tooling for non-toilet cars. I just want them to do accurate numbers on the cars they do. And as I

One more correction to your math. There never was a 788 or 789. AFAICT, they wanted to start the cabs at the next 0 and just skipped those two numbers. You may be overanalyzing the mix of toilets and

Okay, but if you want to use the HEP cars Rapido is currently offering, you must be up to at least 1974. You seem to be ignoring 796-820, at least some of which were ordered by the Q before the merge

I doubt we are. I also have a nagging concern that all the cabs were blanked before even the stickers next to the doors were changed from BN to BNSF, meaning that sales of BNSF cab cars will be poor,
