VGN H16-44

[NW Mailing List]

I have 2 of them, N&W.  Overall very nice models as are all Rapido models.
When they sent out their pre-production photos the handrails on the ends of
the locomotives were incorrect.  VGN units were unique.  After
communicating with Rapido and providing pictures they modified these
handrails and the production models were correct.  I do wish they had done
some in N&W black with script or half moon heralds.  These schemes were
what I most remember seeing and my pics of them were mostly these schemes.
Model producers seem to be stuck on blue....... but with that said thanks
to Rapido for doing what they did!
