My cars are still at Sattler's in Westmont NJ and I have yet to pick them up, but from the cars I have seen, they live up to my expectations. My question to Bill is: are the trucks available

I must say, Bill and the folks at Rapido have been a delight to work with on this new meat reefer, and possible paint schemes to come. As I have not been home for over two weeks (and just learned of a

I received mine from Walthers. The assembly is all okay, and although there are a few glue spots in exposed locations, they look like they'll disappear under flat finish and weathering. The cars'
