Nope, this is a correct announcement. Rapido (not to be confused of the N scale manufacturer of the 1960s) is making CN-prototype cars that are in many cases close or exact for EL prototypes. The coach they're doing isn't "exact" but close enough. The sleeper they're doing first isn't correct for EL at all, but is a "fantasy" paint scheme. They have other cars they've announced for other roads, with at least a few that are correct for EL/Erie. Here's hoping we see those in EL paint! The detail on these cars is simply phenomenal, from what their website shows. - Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: erielack-owner_@_lists.elhts.org > [mailto:erielack-owner_@_lists.elhts.org] On Behalf Of > squeaky_@_netsync.net > Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2006 9:22 PM > To: erielack_@_lists.elhts.org > Cc: squeaky_@_netsync.net > Subject: (erielack) New stuff from Horizon/Rapido > > Hello Again Welcome to September! > This may be a duplicate post.
