Rapido has some unannounced gondolas in production to fill gaps in the factory production schedule, briefly shown in a Facebook Live video Jason did with Trainworld from the factory. At least ONR and TH&B. These likely will be announced when they arrive at Rapido so will be a get them while the last basis. If I recall correctly there are also more GM buses due to arrive shortly that will be announced on arrival. Other general info from the Facebook Live, the modernized FL9 will be relaunched likely first quarter of 2019, and something new Amtrak will be announced likely in 2019.

mdvle Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Advanced warning from Rapido about getting your wallets ready. On Facebook the gondolas that are being made are shipping from the factory this week, proper announcement later this month. On Twitter 2 days ago, more GM Fishbowl buses coming. Assuming on both that once officially announced they are part of the "in stock, sold until gone" method of using up spare factory capacity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
