Have had my UP set on order for a while now. I'm chomping at the bit. Git 'er done.

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

We're working on it!

@dwrb321 2 года назад

Just waiting on UP Heritage Fleet and Conrail OCS units...

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

Definite possibilities for the next run!

@jeremyvehring9259 2 года назад

Hope to see MILW units some day. They would be a challenge from different options from each bach to how they changed over the years.

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

We'll be considering those for a future release.

@ravenhawk6910 2 года назад

I've got two of these on order, UP 942 and one of the CP action red ones. Can't wait!

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

Nice! The wait will be over soon...

@fazthatcoyote 2 года назад

I remember I was in a call with some friends and one mentioned that you were doing these. I think I ordered mine just a few days after they were announced. Cannot wait to get a southern unit for my collection.

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

Southern is certainly one of the prettiest schemes!

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

Sure is!

@dougalexander5871 2 года назад

I hope that with all the varieties you can do, that when you do the Southern Railway units, you offer “as-delivered” and as used on the Southern Crescent in the 1970’s.

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

We'll be looking at doing the as-delivered units in a future run!

I am glad that Rapido is focusing on a lot of stuff which hasn't been produced in 30+ years. I look forward to seeing more 1st gen power in the future (cough cough BL-2's).

@rsmith1835 2 года назад

So the brake cylinders are molded with the pistons out, guess those who run them will have to hire more diesel mechanics to change out all the worn out brake shoes? Hope Rapido is ready to defend itself against all those class action suits for a defectively designed braking system! 🤣😂🙃 Seriously great looking model.

Look forward to purchasing a CP action red DC unit from my local dealer. Sound is great, but unfortunately I'm blue collar.

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

There's still a lot of modellers that prefer non sound and it certainly helps same some cash!

@B52Stratofortress1 2 года назад

@@rapidotrains Indeed. A DC only silent unit is easily the same price as a DCC sound unit was a decade ago. Technology has advanced, sure but so has inflation even more. It's not Rapido's fault.

@clivewilkinson6076 2 года назад

Nice, very nice. I have the NYC E8 on pre-order already. Bill, what are those brown coloured (UK spelling) buildings at the start of the video? A kit or scratch built? Looks like something I need.

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

Likely scratch built structures that Bill made himself. He's quite the modeller!

@avlisk 2 года назад

If anyone leads the way, it would be Rapido. Is there any chance of ever moving production 100% to Canada? That would be epic!

@rapidotrains 2 года назад

Who knows what the future holds, particularly with the current global situation and rising material and labour costs overseas. For the time being though, it's highly unlikely.

@amtrak706 2 года назад

The horn playing on the decoder in there is a Leslie A125, not accurate for any E unit. It would be a Leslie A200 or Wabco E2 if a single chime.

The correct horns will be included on the production model.
