RAPIDO TRAINS: Bilevel Commuter Cars New Release

Rapido Trains has announced the third release of their highly popular Bilevel Commuter Cars in HO Scale, featuring several new paint schemes and body variations, including the new CEM (Crash Energy Management) design of Bilevel commuter car.

In the mid 2010s, the Bilevel car underwent its most significant redesign since its introduction over 40 years earlier. The new CEM (Crash Energy Management) car design features a refined roof profile and other alterations to the rest of the body shell and window arrangement.
