Q on Rapido Passenger Cars

[NW Modeling List]

Russ:
 
I examined one at a local hobby shop when they first came out.  The  color 
looks pretty good, and the aluminum sash for the windows is nice, but as  soon 
as I saw that the trucks were very wrong I didn't look any  further.  I'm 
perfectly capable of exchanging trucks, but clearly they've  taken the Canadian 
prototype and put markings on that they think will  sell.  Nothing inherently 
wrong with that, other manufacturers have been  doing that for generations, but 
for me spending that much money and then having  to do the truck exchange was a 
show stopper.

All;

I see that Rapido is offereing N&W Smoothside  passenger cars of various 
type. I've seen other roadnames from Rapido, so I  know the quality. I'm wondering 
how accurate they are to N&W? Color aside,  which is always a hot topic with 
this group and with the PRR group, are teh  cars done as a close-enough on 
prototype or a dead-on match, i.e. window  arrangements and so-forth?

I'm looking at getting some coaches  for an NS excursion and business train.

Regards,
Russ  Goodwin
