The RDC-2 and RDC-3 variants on the other hand, included compartments for baggage and\/or mail. As well as using original blueprints, our 3D “scanning” team visited actual Phase 1 and Phase 2 RDCs to capture the classic features of these Budd beauties. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur RDC-1, RDC-2 and RDC-3 models will all be produced in both Phase 1 and 2 variants. These “railfan” terms were never actually used by Budd, but they neatly describe the major differences between the early style of RDCs delivered between 1949 and 1956 and the “new look” RDCs built between 1956 and 1962. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach model is extensively researched and will come with either Phase 1b, 1c or 2 roof blisters as appropriate. Other unique features such as end diaphragms and rebuilt light\/numberboards on the cab roof will also be faithfully reproduced where appropriate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real RDCs were built with two engine compartments under the floor and the second run of Rapido models will continue to use our smooth running, twin motor configuration. This enables us to hide the motors in the actual motor compartments and include complete, fully-lit interiors and full underbody equipment to the level of detail and accuracy you’ve come to expect from Rapido. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our RDCs feature: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Rapido’s smooth running, twin-motor drive system \u003cbr\u003e Fully detailed and illuminated interior \u003cbr\u003e Working headlights, class lights and numberboards \u003cbr\u003e Amazingly accurate sound \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobby Outpost","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55098689814819,"sku":"RAP16143","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/6223\/8499\/files\/276453_1.jpg?v=1779041016","url":"https:\/\/hobbyoutpost.com\/products\/budd-rdc-2-phase-1b-standard-dc-new-york-central-m480-early-scheme-stainless","provider":"Hobby Outpost","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
