That’s a good idea. We’ll have to see how terrible the Rapido engine is to
disassemble.

Maybe there’s an aftermarket opportunity to make conversion kits that would fit
on a Rapido mechanism. That could work better for steam power that’s more of a
niche market than a Royal Hudson or a D10.

I model the KVR and parts of the southern mainline in BC, so I have one of the
D10’s on order. Would it be difficult to make a D9 from a Rapido D10? I
wonder if Rapido would be able to do that without too much additional tooling.

CP was pretty standard in their designs.
The D10 driver spacing is the same on the D6a and D9c classes.
The Royal Hudson driver spacing (13’-2”) is the same as the H1ab and the entire
G3 and G4 pacific classes.
If there was a desire to do the slightly narrower 6 wheel drive (13’-0”) then
you can do the G1, G2 and G5 engines. Or use the same drive and see if
anybody will notice the difference.
Lots of engines can be done with just what’s been done up to now.
