Model manufacturers prototype errors

[Iron Horseman]

Nor have I...The Rapido cars are just as generic - if not more so -and most are based on Canadian Specification Builds, if I'm not mistaken. The other thing i do not like about the Rapido cars are that the plastic is translucent so if they're lighted, so are your car sides - too toy like for my tastes.

The Rapido cars that I have purchased have strangly colored paint, and I wish I had not purchased them. They claim 100% accurate paint, but all I can tell is that they got their example paint chips off of old equipment that had been sitting around fading in the sun for 20 years or so.

I alos have the Overland Brass Business Train with several add-on Domes -those are the best for the modern train.

Last year I got a set of Division Point passenger cars. It was a disappointment for the cost. It looks great but won't run. One generally expects a car costing $600 to work perfectly out of the box.

For 600 bucks a car I would expect personal valet service included for a year at least.
