United Aircraft TURBO Finally Coming in HO Scale

Hi all,
I'd just like to let you know that the second release forthcoming from Rapido Trains is the United Aircraft TurboTrain. We will be producing both American and Canadian variations, and this kit is scheduled for release in 2004.
This will be the first 100% accurate model of the Turbo produced in any scale. We have the original builder's blueprints for this unique train.
Like our previously announced Bombardier LRC coach, this kit is manufactured for us by Kaslo Shops, one of the best respected resin manufacturers in North America.
See our web site for full details, including a list of some of the kit's features.

Once the Turbo project is further along, we will start work on the LRC locomotives. After the complexities of the Turbo, they should be a "piece of cake"... :-)
In the meantime, the Athearn P42 has just arrived in VIA colours to Canadian dealers. Canadian Express Line, <d.cool@sympatico.ca>, has numerous American customers and is happy to ship the P42 south of the border.
The P42, or a Walthers VIA F40PH, can haul your LRC cars until our LRC2 locomotive is released.
