<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Definitely NOT a dead on match. Close? Well, that depends
on your tolerance for close. For me, not close enough; but, on the other hand,
about as close as the competition. Much closer than the old
Rivarossi/AHM/Bachmann/IHC. They are beautiful! Jim

<DIV><BR></DIV>All;<BR> <BR>I see that Rapido is offereing N&W
Smoothside passenger cars of various type. I've seen other roadnames from
Rapido, so I know the quality. I'm wondering how accurate they are to N&W?
Color aside, which is always a hot topic with this group and with the PRR
group, are teh cars done as a close-enough on prototype or a dead-on match,
i.e. window arrangements and so-forth?<BR> <BR>I'm looking at getting
some coaches for an NS excursion and business
train.<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR>Russ Goodwin<BR><BR>
