Rapido HO 10-5 Sleeper, Super Continental Line, CSX "Michael J. Ward"

Rapido Item #: 104111

To celebrate our 20th year in the industry, we are delighted to announce a new run of the first ready-to-run models we ever made, the HO Scale Super Continental Line Passenger Cars! These include the: Lightweight Coach, 8-4-4 Duplex Sleeper (4-8-4 for the Canadians) and the 10-5 Sleeper.

When they were first released, these cars broke the mold for HO scale passenger car detail. We believe the level of detail we announced two decades ago has not been matched since, except by us! Rapido is still the global leader in HO scale passenger car detail.

There is always room for refinements and this run is no exception. Here is a list of those upgrades:

• Track-powered interior lighting with capacitor controlled by our (often imitated, never duplicated) Rapido Lighter


• Improved design and assembly to prevent warping


• Tighter connections between the body and the roof


• New couplers designed for more reliable operation when pulled or pushed


• Redesigned, free-rolling trucks

All of this is in addition to the incredible underbody detail, multi-color interior, skirts or stairs (as appropriate) and extremely fine painting and decoration, down to the end door car names and numbers!
