New Haven's Osgood Bradley Lightweight coaches #8500-8529 were unique. Each of these 10 window coaches included a separate smoking section at one end of the car for the use of
passengers who chose to "light up" in those less health-conscious times! To help clear the air a special ventilation system was installed over the smoker's lounge with a unique,
large vent on the roof above. Rapido Trains Inc. is now happy to announce the upcoming arrival of their HO-scale versions of the 8500 Smokers. They have tooled a new interior,
roof hatch and vent. All cars also include full underbody detail, "Easy-Peasy" lighting, free rolling trucks, separate grab irons and details, and accurate paint and lettering.
All models listed have partial skirting, except where indicated.

Wheelsets
Standard tread (code 110) RP25 wheelsets coming soon. "Code 110" designates the standard NMRA tread width for HO-scale wheelsets. These wheels will work on all brands of HO
track and will drop right into most HO-scale trucks. A great upgrade your entire fleet! Wheels are turned brass, plated and insulated on one side.

Semi-scale (code 88) RP25 wheelsets coming soon. "Code 88" wheelsets use a narrower semi-scale tread that looks more like a prototype wheel, while still being able to operate
on almost all commercial HO track. Like our Code 110 wheels these will drop right into most HO scale trucks for a visual and operational improvement. Wheels are turned brass,
plated and insulated on one side.
