Into stainless-steel self-propelled cars? The Rapido Trains Budd RDC-2, in VIA Rail Canada's 2010s rebuilt version, nails the look of the RDCs still running on Vancouver Island and in northern Ontario.
What sets this model apart is Rapido's signature prototype fidelity. This stainless-steel Budd RDC-2 (Rail Diesel Car), powered by two underfloor Detroit Diesel engines, combines a baggage compartment with a 70-seat passenger section. Rapido reproduces the 2010 rebuild details: e-bell, blanked-out windows, modified ends, different steps, VIA-style xenon light and ditch lights, all of them operating. Heavy die-cast chassis, powerful motor with dual flywheels, accurate cab interior and ESU LokSound sound decoder. Offered in two road numbers: 6217 and 6219.
