Rapido Continental Line 100192 HO Scale Leg Rest Coach C&O 1637

NOS (New Old Stock)

The Super Continental Line brings new meaning to the term “museum quality.” Rapido Trains Inc. offers these cars decorated for a variety of popular paint schemes, with partial skirts or fixed steps as appropriate.

In the early 1950s, Canadian National Railways placed one of the largest passenger car orders in railroad history. These cars were used on such famous trains as the Super Continental, the Ocean, the Panorama and our namesake, the Rapido. They continued on mainline and branchlilne service with CN and VIA until the late 1990s, and in fact some are still running on VIA trains in northern Manitoba and one has been resurrected as VIA’s exclusive Glen Fraser lounge car!

Today, CN’s cars can be found on tourist railways all over North America and even on Canadian Pacific passenger trains. They are without doubt the most successful smoothside passenger cars ever built and over the next few years Rapido Trains Inc. will be producing museum-quality models of many of them.
