Now and again, a model release comes along that changes the look of a whole roster. Like the B36-7 a few years ago, the new Rapido C36-7 follows the same pattern. It's a beautiful new model!
These were delivered to Conrail from GE in 1984, and were amongst the last Dash-7s built. Conrail ended up rostering just 25 of them, but they were very common on the Chicago Line as maintenance for years was based at Selkirk.
Weathering coming soon on this, and even more fun is that Rapido is doing a release video on it too, using my family as the (hokey) actors. It will be a lot of fun, and I will share the link here when it is posted! In the mean time, this is just yet another great example of a wonderful development in the hobby, one that I hope can continue. The OC just got a bit more prototypical!
