The passenger car interior lights are powered by onboard batteries.  The lights are designed for "night-time" operation and the batteries have an operating life of approximately 10 hours.  They are turned on or off by a magnetic wand, which triggers a locking reed switch.

The batteries are now in stock.  There are four round watch type batteries per package.  Rapido recommends one pack for every two cars ordered. 


In 30 years of modeling experience, we have never seen plastic cars, factory painted, with lights, done to this level of perfection, at this price level ! 

In our opinion these are the finest ready to run passenger cars available today.  Details like these used to be found only on scratch built masterpieces.  For modelers who wanted this level of prototype fidelity, they had to purchase brass passenger cars, typically hundreds of dollars each.

The MSRP on these models is an unbelievable $59.99US or Canadian.  For those who reserve early with us, there is an early reservation discounted price.  Call now to order yours.
