Reply To: Rapido HO RS-11 unfortunately wrong version for MP

[David Boeschen]

You’re right, Charlie. But coincidentally I wrote to Rapido today:

Will there be a version without the dynamic brake? I’m aware that this affects the number and location of carbody vents also.

I’m thinking specifically of Missouri Pacific.

And got this response:

]Hi Ron,

Absolutely!

So I suppose, someday, maybe, we’ll get our wish.

I was inspired by discussions on Andy Harman’s “list”, basically a mail exchange about diesels. There’s a roster, so besides MP the other lines that got RS11s without dynamics were Erie Mining, GB&W, NdeM, NKP, NYC, SCOP (S-BC),and TP&W. At least we weren’t unique.
