Add a distinctive and rarely modeled passenger car to your HO scale fleet with the Rapido Trains HO LRC Coach in Amtrak paint. Based on the LRC cars used by Amtrak in the early 1980s, this model represents a unique chapter in North American passenger rail history, when the Canadian-designed LRC — Light, Rapid, Comfortable — concept was tested in U.S. service before the cars later returned to VIA Rail.
Built to Rapido Trains’ high standards, this HO scale coach features an accurate car profile, crisp decoration, detailed interior and built-in lighting. With smooth-rolling trucks, detailed diaphragms and factory-installed separate details, it is an excellent choice for modelers of Amtrak, VIA Rail or 1980s passenger operations.
