Product Description
Rapido Trains Inc. is delighted to announce our next offering of individual Budd passenger cars: the mid-train dome!
Our Superior Stainless series offers unparalleled HO scale Budd prototype passenger cars. There has never been a ready-to-run model passenger car in any scale with this level of detail inside and out. Ever. Our Budd passenger cars feature our own unique stainless steel finish, and we believe that it is the closest you will find to the real thing short of scratchbuilding your models in actual stainless steel. We spent months testing different methods, including painting and plating, and comparing them to the real cars at our local passenger train maintenance centre. The end result is a top-secret method that includes spraying different specially-formulated finishes at specific temperatures to reach the warm, stainless feel of our final product. Prepare to be impressed! On a passenger car model of this caliber the detail should not stop at the floor. Our Superior Stainless passenger cars have complete underbody detailing, including all of the air, steam and electrical conduits. We have recreated this as accurately as possible in HO scale. Nobody else has ever offered this amount of detail in a passenger car model. Nobody.
