 38-SEAT CLUB GALLEY FIRST CLASS COACH

ARRIVING LATE 2009/EARLY 2010

 

A generation ago, CN's 38-Seat Club Galley was the finest way to travel on day trains in North America. And just to be confusing, CN called first class coaches "Club Cars," and club cars were called "Lounge Cars."

With luxurious 2+1 seating, your HO scale Club Galley passengers will enjoy delicious hot meals served at their overstuffed, reclining chairs. Before dinner, they can enjoy a complimentary beer or cocktail. After the four-course meal, the Club Galley attendants will pamper your passengers with chocolates and liqueurs. Not a bad way to travel...

The Rapido Trains Inc. model features:

  • Improved underbody detail!
  • Improved interior to eliminate warping
  • "Easy-Peasy" battery-operated interior lighting
  • Full interior detail, including seats, galley, luggage areas and bathrooms
  • Super-detailed 41-BNO-11 or 41-N-11 trucks as appropriate
  • Factory-painted and installed metal grab irons and stirrups, including interior corridor handrails
  • All-metal Macdonald-Cartier knuckle couplers
  • Operating diaphragms with end gates
  • Separate marker lamps and steam lines

The following paint schemes will be available in late 2009/early 2010:

  • Canadian National - 1954 Scheme
  • VIA Rail Canada
All of our Super Continental Line passenger cars feature battery-powered interior LED lighting which is turned on and off by our Rapido Lighter, essentially a magnet on a stick. Wave the Lighter over the AC hatch on the roof, and the lights turn on. Wave it again, and the lights turn off. No more coach yards filled with lighted cars draining your power pack, and no more flicker! Each car comes with a Rapido Lighter and two batteries.

Replacement batteries are available separately, as are lighting sets so you can upgrade your existing fleet.
