    let's go ahead and tell it like it is. Rapido trains makes the best GM fishbowl bus available for sale not just in terms of quality but in accuracy too. The others only make the buses for those who do not care. Almost as bad as the toy tin buses of long ago. they were cartoonish and did not pretend to be right. Then a couple of European companies made and sold a few bad copies and for most of the true Fishbowl fans we had no choice. There are a couple of buses made that were better but if you know your fishbowl bus you know they goofed up too on those models. Rapido Trains came after I had purchased a bunch of bad copies looking to cut and grind, fill the mistakes to make them more palatable to me. I would actually have the only ones in metal that would be accurate. That project came to a very sudden stop. Thanks Rapido Trains

I'm sad I miss out on the royal Hudson 5 years ago, but I'll get one of those one day further down the line. Also, you guys need to make both the Jubilee Class 4-4-4 and the CNs confederation class 4-8-4 Streamline class locos like 6400 in Ottawa!
