Description

Sleeper Blue Rapids

In 1950 PRR took delivery of fourteen 10/6 Sleepers. Most were painted in Missouri Pacific’s Eagle scheme. Two were painted for the ‘Overland Route’ for transcontinental service. Delivered in the Two-Tone-Gray and later were painted in PRR’s Tuscan. According to the PRRT&HS, the Blue Rapids was assigned to the New York to San Francisco carried on PRR’s Admiral and then to the San Francisco Overland.

Blue Rapids was built by American Car & Foundry and we will call this a Classic version of this car. Our version will include the three inch full skirts that you see in this builders photo of the car!

Blunt End Observation is a GRAND SLAM! I’ve wanted this car for ages but never figured out a good way to kitbash it.

To say the least this is a HUGE development for N-scale and I, along with a number of others, are indebted to you for making these cars possible. Thanks so very much!!!

I received my observation/business car today and – like all of my other cars from you – I love it!

Keep up setting the bar high and providing a product that exceeds expectations.

I look forward to continuing to buy trains from my favorite special run train maker. That’s how I think of you now, “The Train Maker”.  And speaking of cool trains, I just received a box loaded with great looking Texas Special cars. Thanks.  I certainly look forward to all the new releases you are planning.

My kids absolutely love the Christmas cars! The C.K. Holiday, along with the Carolwood and Disney cars makes a wonderful Christmas train. It made many a loop under our tree this year.

I just received my Carolwood Pacific cars yesterday. They are exquisite! Every attention to detail was paid here, and I can’t thank you enough for putting this into production.  They are going to look amazing, circling my main Street miniatures display.

Thank you for all that you do for the N Scale community. Your products by far, in my opinion, are the top of the line when it comes to N Scale Trains and I am always on the lookout for them when they come up for auction.

And as for your goal of 5 releases a year, I admire your ambition, but I won’t hold it against you if you fall short on that accomplishment.  I’m just thrilled you’re doing such an AWESOME job of releasing this amazing train, and hope you don’t stop until it’s all done!

P.B.

Thanks for all the great trains – it’s nice to have such wonderful rolling stock on the layout.
