Hi Tom---WOW---that is a great looking consist---are those trailers and flatcars from Rapido ???---I always enjoy your "run-bys"---this is one of the best.

Ed,
Thank you. The last three flat cars are Athearn blue box. Four (two Erie, two PRR) are Walthers Mainline and the rest are Rapido. All trailers but the 20 footers are Rapido.

I am really liking what Rapido has been releasing lately. However I have had a couple of the flatcars that the couplers were bad out of the box and I had to replace them. Also some of them ride very tight. I am working on the trucks and axles to get them to ride more freely.
