Just unboxed my two unnumbered BN cars and three bolster screws were loose - and one was loose in the box! Thought I dropped on the floor but found it on the wand magnet! Now to unbox the other six for running at the club next weekend and check their bolster screws.
@@TWIGYBNSF I reported too soon. I finished unboxing the other cars and found a coach with the one end buffer not attached and the collision post only glued by one top pin. Removed it, separated the buffer, glued on the collision post and let it dry overnight. Snapped the buffer back on. One more car did have loose bolster screws.
Some research I did shows that the BNSF cab cars did exist as sold by Rapido in this run; with the swoosh logo and unpatched cab windows while still having end striping, but indeed they were not used as cab cars, with the 8500’s taking up that role. Then by early 2010s the cab windows began to be patched out.
I appreciate you showing the interior without the shell. Rapido normally does that but they didn't for this series of cars. The level of interior detail seems to be up to their usual standards so I don't understand that.
Either of the bn 3 packs. But you would have to get the Metra cab car decal sheet to change the stripes to red and white. Plus change the bn logo on the side placards to Metra and get the bn logo that goes on the sideof the doors. Fusion scale graphics makes the decals
The e-units had orange and white, too. Glad you mentioned that!
Mine get here Wednesday!!! I can't wait!
Beautiful! I'm gonna be looking out for these. 👍😉
Great review. 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃
Awesome Review
Thanks!
You're Welcome

Huh that's strange. Hope you don't have any more issues and you enjoy them!

Ive been waiting for the BN ones for ever
Same! I was super thrilled when Rapido announced these! Hopefully they may do the other ones that ran on the Milwaukee Road & Rock Island

That's interesting. I was curious to know when they did that. Thanks for the info
I need the Metra BN ones from the 90s. Next run!
Fusion scale graphics has the decals to make that happen
@TWIGYBNSF yeah, I have a set from some other run. Enough to do two cars. I'm going to order some of the fusion ones, too!

Are you a member of the Prairie Scale Model Railroaders? It is one of the best layouts I have ever seen. Love the pacing video!
I am. Thanks!
I have 3 of the E9s. 9902, 9915 and 9924. Which version of these cars would be correct for the early 90s?
