    Really nice looking cars but not getting them for two reasons- the stiff price, and the fragility of the detail. I’m moving into a much more mobile lifestyle in retirement, probably going to sell the house soon and tear down the layout, and confine my models to items that can be frequently handled in A line carriers and transported without damage, like Accurail cars. I think these Rapido cars, as beautiful as they are, will likely be as fragile as Kadee tank cars, which something will snap off of if a gnat sneezes within 5’.
