From the Rapido Telegraph:

"Ever since I started Rapido Trains Inc. I've had requests for N scale. I never thought we could bring the same level of detail to N scale as we had to HO. A few months ago I had a chat with my chief engineer and he thought we could do it... so we've done it.

Our N scale line is called Panorama, after the CN train of the same name which ran during the "golden years" of CN passenger services, the 1960s. While North American passenger train services experienced an unprecedented decline during that decade, CN was growing its passenger business by leaps and bounds. It leased cars from the States and bought sleepers, dome cars and lounge cars from several railroads - including Milwaukee Road, Florida East Coast and Erie-Lackawanna - to bolster its customer-focused motto of "Traveliving."

Just as CN invested in better passenger trains in the 1960s, we've invested in a better N scale passenger car for 2009. The Panorama Line passenger cars present an unprecedented level of detail for N-scalers.
