Nonprofit organization in Brazil, needs help to reform internancioal DRC trains, cars and locomotives BUDD Alcoa to design tourist trains in the country.
Association has received from the Brazilian Government, the trains, now missing for money reform them.
Join us in this struggle and collaborate on reform of DRC trains, locomotives/Alcoo and caros Budd.
It will handle 18" radius no problem without the diaphragms or guidance arms on the single-axle trucks. With diaphragms and guidance arms, 24" is recommended.
Been a long time admirer of Rapido Trains and this magnificent specimen. But sadly have been out of model railroading for some time. But RapidoTrains and this Turbo always makes me wish I could come back to it!
Keep up the great work, and thank you for the preservation!
Very accurately ugly horn! I just wish I'd be able to afford it! Is there ANY way I can just order 1 power car with sound, 1 passenger car, and a power car with out sound/DCC?
Nice model! I seem to like the oddballs, because they're different. I like AMC Gremlins and the EMD BL-2 engine as well. :) I think Bachmann had a crude Turbotrain back in the '70s, was pretty bad, but they're rare as hens teeth now, if not also then. If this new release turns out nicer, I may be in the market for one.
IF it turns out nicer? Buddy, you have noooooooooo idea how much of an understatement that is! They could charge whatever they like, but I'll still be buying the genuine Cn 9-car consist (and building a layout to run it at speed too!)
Is it able to handle a 22" radius with the diaphragms and guidance arms?

My father designed that train with Alan Cripe back in the 1960's Incredible design.

The thing sounded like the old Batmobile starting up. You could almost hear Burt Ward saying, "Atomic batteries to power.....turbines to speed."

great model!! i might have to buy once they come out, the horn sounds kinda ugly tho

I know - the horn sound is very ugly, but accurate. I love it. The real one could wake the dead.
