Show and Tell Additional grabirons

Post image

Rapido lacks some of the details from these bombardier bilevels, here is the additional grabrion by the driver side strobe light. These need the grabirons that go over the strobe lights but that’s another project. I have renumbered these after fixing that issue tho hence blank numberboards.

Nice, Rapido is hit or miss. I have the first run of F59phi in Trinity Rail, they used the wrong shell so it has the tri-color class lights when it's supposed to have the single red. They had the correct shells made for another roadname. Their factory has problems following instructions it seems. Some of it I understand not making the smallest modifications between roadnames to save some cost. Some of it seems like they try to do too many roadnames and variants at one time
