20/10 ANNIVERSARY COMBO SPECIAL

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the start-up of Rapido Trains Inc. and the 10th Anniversary of the start-up of the NHRHTA’s Readville Shops! We will be celebrating these milestones with specials during the year. Our first is called a “Combo Special”, where members will save almost $20 by purchasing any Diner + any County Car at the same time. If you were thinking of adding to your Diner fleet, but want to get a County, well here’s your chance to get both at a “Blow-out” price! These sales deals are only offered to members of the NHRHTA, so if you’re not a member…add your application to your order! You won’t regret getting all the great Shoreliners and other perks of membership.

Rapido Stainless County Cars Now Available!

Readville Shops is now selling the recently-released County Car models from Rapido Trains. These HO models are available in several variations in the three different time periods that they operated on the New Haven: As-delivered with green stripe; McGinnis orange stripe and skirted; McGinnis orange stripe without skirts. If you didn’t reserve these cars, or want additional cars, after receiving your reservation, you can now order them from the Store. You will be “blown-away” by the seven different interiors and overall quality of these cars! All come with LED track-powered lighting and “keep-alive” capacitor. Lights can be turned on/off with the supplied “wand”.

As a special for those reading this announcement, for the next 60-days, you can use a $5 savings per car Coupon, by putting the word “COUNTY” in the “Coupon” box.

NEW! Baseball Cap

Port & Company 6-Panel, Twill Cap. Black with colorful FL9 Locomotive #2023. One-size fits all, with Velcro strap. Available in the Readville Shops Store $19.95 each.

For a limited-time only, NHRHTA members can get $5 off each cap, by typing the word MEMBER (all caps) in the “Add Coupon or Gift Card” box on the “Your cart” page.

2nd-RUN NEW HAVEN COACHES NOW AVAILABLE

Now that all of our customers, who reserved these cars, have received their orders, we can offer them to anyone else who would like these coaches. These cars are as beautiful as the 1st-run five years ago…except they’re even better! They have the great, pin-point axle, free-rolling trucks now, and can no longer be called “lead sleds”. They are offered in all different numbers from the original run, in the three different varieties, and you can now order on-line. Just go to the On-Line “Store” and you’ll see them as “Featured Items”.  Your passengers will truly enjoy the ride!
