Fleet Friday - Rapido Comet Cars (Second Run)

     I recently got my set of Rapido's second run of Comet Cars. My set is in the updated Montreal AMT (Agence métropolitaine de transport) paint scheme. It comes with lighting functions using the Rapido wand. I really like the AMT paint scheme, especially on these Comet cars. These cars roll so easily. One of the improvements is that Rapido has pre-installed a speaker and I can program a sound decoder to control the lighting and add sound. This is just like what they did with their Bi-level cars. I'll have to start working on a sound project and get this train set up to the level of the Bi-levels.
