Welcome Sue - I've got a bibliography of useful RDA resources which
includes lots of example RDA records (all in MARC21 format) so I will make
sure that Helen includes all of those in the list of useful resources at
the end of the e-forum. As a starter, there are lots of useful examples
drawn up by LC as part of their training for the US RDA Test:
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/RDAtest/rdaexamples.html
The RDA records created as part of the test are available here (beware
there are thousands of records though!):

Some example RDA records created by the University of Chicago:
