Rapido Trains pre-production CPR FP9A-F9B-FP9A lead the new Rapido set of stainless steel plastic passenger cars which are highly detailed models following the prototype used on “The Canadian” .  The cars offered are the single door baggage, coach, diner, Skyline, “Manor” Sleeper, “Chateau” Sleeper, and “Park” car, are offered in or 1960’s CPR Beaver Crest with Tuscan red stripe, 1970’s CP Rail stripe and 1980’s VIA blue stripe.   The cars are super detailed inside and out and have lighting window shades and full interiors.  As Jason is a stickler for accurate detail, the underside of these cars have a level of modeling detail never before seen on any existing passenger car model.  Jason and Richard Longpre (who buys and sells ex-VIA cars and is the authority on VIA passenger equipment), combined their talents to include every nuance and unique detail found on the prototype.  It is amazing!
