Here's "news" about some upcoming N-scale passenger cars ... The manfacturer website is:

Their "official" announcement was in their June Telegraph (newsletter) listing:

And BLW is now including this line ...

This could be a most interesting time for passenger equipment in N-scale ...

Okay, okay!! For "Horribly Oversized" as well!!

Have an 'N' Joyable Day!

Woot!

Yes, this is good news! I've been admiring their HO scale equipment for a while now! Nice to see the 1954 CN paint scheme in there as well. I have a set of nice Rivarossi cars in that scheme but they're not nearly as detailed as the Rapido cars!

I wouldn't mind having a set of those in the Empire Builder sche

Well the "Pass" series sleepers look good from what I saw. I could envision a set A-B-A GN F-3/7's on the head end. Pretty train!!! I always seem to miss out on the Kato F-7's in GN. :(
