A 3rd Rail Exlclusive: CNJ RDC-1

As a former employee of the CNJ I just placed my order.

Did not know you were also a dealer, Jonathan. Good for you.

Jonathan - Nice you were able to bring that to market!

 

I'll have to talk to you about some Santa Fe ideas.

Count me in for a powered unit. Will send an email to you regarding a deposit to hold the reservation. Thanks.

I have never seen the actual 3rd Rail RDC's. Is there a place where I can see a video of them running? I live in Raritan, NJ, which is the terminus of most Raritan Valley line NJ Transit trains. When I was younger, I rode the CNJ RDC's many times.

Here is a link to our RDC Information page:

Scott,

 

I assume theses need on 072 curves.

Vic,

 

When and if you come to the Cape this summer, you can come over and run my 3rd Rail B&M RDC. No, it does not need 072 or larger to run on but it looks better on it.

Reply By Cape Cod Northern: A 3rd Rail Exlclusive: CNJ RDC-1Hi Al,

Thanks for the info. I’m interested in the CNJ models. I may be up in July. My son is graduating high school this year. He will be going to Monmouth University this fall. He has a 2 day freshman orientation to go to in July and I have a parents orientation to go to. The summer is a little up in the air.

I would have loved to see the Demonstrator of this model in scale and would buy it in a heartbeat!

Now, if they were offered in NYS&W (Susquehanna), I could run them with my DL&W stuff since they intermingled in Hoboken.

Jonathan:

Question - I was interested in the UP F7 diesel but the web site says reservations are closed. So that means I can't place an order???? If true isn't 3rd Rail giving up potential sales?

Thanks

Joe

If you want to do a special road for your RDCs, you can order an undecorated unit, 2R/3R RDC-1/2, Powered only. We will be making some.

 

Regarding F7s and the closed reservations, we are in production, so all parts have been ordered and reservations are full. There are usually 5-10% no shows when the models arrive, so there is a good chance you can get one if you put in a Standby Reservation. We don't make models for stock as orders after they come in are not frequent. It is a Build to Order environment in O Scale right now.

 

Here is the RDC Video that has been on our web site for 9 months now. You can also find it on Youtube.

I'm hoping to contact former CNJ Employees who I know are into O-Gauge to order this CNJ RDC

It is the best thing to the real thing
