Into modern Canadian passenger trains? This Rapido Trains LRC car, in VIA Rail (as delivered) colors, nails the look of the tilting trainsets of the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor.
What sets this model apart is Rapido's signature prototype fidelity. The LRC cars — for “Light, Rapid, Comfortable” — were built by Bombardier with an Alcan aluminum carbody and an active tilt system of up to 8.5 degrees, for fast running on VIA Rail's Quebec City–Windsor Corridor. This as-delivered scheme captures the cars as they looked at the turn of the 1980s. Rapido faithfully reproduces the carbody profile, appointed interior and version-specific detailing. Track-powered interior lighting, working end-of-train marker lights and detailed diaphragms: it is all here.
