Introduction

Rapido 104119 HO Scale 10-5 Sleeper Rapido Anniversary: “Northern Spirit”

To celebrate their 20th year in the industry, Rapido is delighted to announce a new run of the first ready-to-run models they ever made, the HO Scale Super Continental Line Passenger Cars! These include the: Lightweight Coach, 8-4-4 Duplex Sleeper (4-8-4 for the Canadians) and the 10-5 Sleeper.

When they were first released, these cars broke the mold for HO scale passenger car detail. The level of detail announced two decades ago has not been matched since, except by Rapido! Rapido is still the global leader in HO scale passenger car detail.

FEATURES:

• Track-powered interior lighting with capacitor controlled by our (often imitated, never duplicated) Rapido Lighter
• Improved design and assembly to prevent warping
• Tighter connections between the body and the roof
• Lightweight Coaches and Duplex Sleepers feature new Trane air conditioner details
• New couplers designed for more reliable operation when pulled or pushed
• Redesigned, free-rolling trucks
• All of this is in addition to the incredible underbody detail, multi-color interior, skirts or stairs (as appropriate) and extremely fine painting and decoration, down to the end door car names and numbers!
