Hello,
I was interested in peoples advice about canadian manufacturers rapido and trueline trains doing re runs of ho freight car models already produced. I live in australia and have noticed that american manufacturers like athearn, atlas and broadway limited do produce re runs I guess probably because of the bigger market. Will say a model released in 2010 be produced again. I do check e-bay but only small numbers of rapido passenger cars and trueline trains freight cars become available. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards Matthew Redden
Hi Matthew:
I can’t answer your question, but the manufacturers that you refer to might give at least some indications of their furture plans. I’d suggest contacting them directly:

You may have to be patient with Rapido. They receive a ton of e-mails but Jason Shron and his crew are really good at making sure they get back to people. I’m not sure how busy True Line Trains is but they aren’t a multi-national corporation with tons of receptionists so I’d suggest being patient with them too.
When you are talking to True Line, please ask (beg) them to bring back their line of paints. They are (were) absolutely excellent for both brushing and spraying!
