Not an April Fool, but Rapido Trains are planning a release of Lion and the various coaches, having obtained full license by STUDIOCANAL, who own the right. https://rapidotrains.co.uk/the-titfield-thunderbolt-70th-anniversary-range/

Any update on which year these are likely to arrive?

Result! After 3 months looking, a Rapido 'The Canadian' set, CP Script, appears on Ebay Germany & I get my offer accepted! So - Pre-order a Royal Hudson, get a few Rocky Mountaineer and Heavyweight Coaches, and I can model the Canadian Rockies - after all, none of the scenery or stations really changed over the period 1930's to date.

Having been introduced to Canadian steam at Revelstoke Museum and Three Valley Gap roundhouse earlier this year, I'm looking forward to a CP Royal Hudson to add to the GP40-2 Rocky Mountaineer in my Canadian collection. My only concern - where can I get coaches to match these? Unfortunately, I missed The Canadian release - wasn't aware of it at the time, and am now looking to replace my 1960's Triang Railways equivalent (just non-working loco, and tatty coaches left). Any chance of a reissue? Will see Rapido at Warley - I'll be the one with the Craigellachie t-Shirt.
