N Scale Passenger Trains
Coming
soon to N Scale ... the most detailed line-up yet
of passenger cars from Rapido Trains. (Never heard
of Rapido Trains passenger equipment, just ask
any HO'er in the know). The N scale line is called
Panorama, after the CN train of the same name which
ran during the "golden years" of CN passenger
services, the 1960s.
Just as CN invested in better passenger trains in the 1960s, Rapdio Trains has
invested
in
a better N scale passenger car for 2009. The Panorama Line passenger cars
present an unprecedented level of detail for N scalers.
