Built
by the Budd Company of Philadelphia in their hundreds between
the late 1940s and early 1960s, the single-car RDC (Rail Diesel
Car) fleet was ubiquitous on passenger service throughout
Canada and the United States on any routes that could not
justify loco-hauled operation. The 85ft long vehicles, which
were powered by a pair of Detroit Diesel Series 110 engines,
could be employed in single formation or coupled together
with other examples - all controlled from the lead RDC cab.
In the United States, the Boston & Maine was the principle
user of these single-car units, but they were also an important
part of the rural lines and short-haul commuter passenger
fleet of other railroad companies, including the Santa Fe,
B&O, New Haven, NP, NYC, Reading, SP, and many others.
Many later went on to Amtrak and various commuter agencies
such as the Metro-North among others. RDCs can still be found
in small numbers on scenic lines in both countries, as well
as some rare regular services. In Canada, CN and CP rostered
large numbers of RDCs, which later passed to VIA. The RDC
served branchlines from coast to coast, and were a means of
reducing the costs of unprofitable local runs. They were also
ubiquitous on the mainline, often in multiple units of three,
six or even 11 cars! CN’s RDCs could be found across
the country in early years and mainly in the Toronto area
in later years. Eager to cut costs, CP used the RDCs everywhere,
especially in commuter service, the Maritimes, and Vancouver
Island. In VIA years, the RDC formed the backbone of shorter
services in Quebec, the Toronto area and the Maritimes, as
well as in Alberta and BC. PGE and later BCR used a fair number
of RDCs in British Columbia right up until 2002.
The Rapido
N scale RDC is designed from the ground up based on the success
of our HO scale version, as well as feedback from the N scale
community on what they look for in a model. These units feature
a hidden drive system and exceptional interior detailing,
allowing for maximum performance and realism. For the inaugural
release, the all-coach RDC-1 will be available in both Phase
1 and Phase 2 body styles (as appropriate).
