@@rapidotrains Thanks very much for replying to my comment. Like the work you are doing so l subscribe to your channel to improve mine to get some great ideas. Thanks DD.
ok i am super excited for the C30-7. I already got one of your b36-7's and it was incredible, so to see you guys making my other favorite dash 7 especially the Santa Fe, expect me to order a few of them!
I got 2 of their B36-7s (both Santa Fe units, one in blue and yellow and one in the Kodachrome scheme) they are awesome, and very strong pullers as well! Got high hopes for the C30-7s and I think Rapido will knock it out of the park with them!
Hi Rapidotrains. Along with other fellow french railway N scale modellers, we feel really excited about the release of the RTL because it could easily allow you to produce the RTG both in Amtrak and (french railway) SNCF versions. I know many N-scalers over here would be into getting one or more from you guys… me included! One way to estimate the market in France would be to contact AFAN (french N scale society).
Some great new stuff coming. Like the new N scale stuff you are putting put will look into ordering the 1st Amtrak set you showed. Thanks for the fun video and the new products. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
Nice...some solid offerings there! I hope sliding cab windows will be in the works for those HO units. Those units are from an era when aside from Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, and some Amtrak, cab air conditioning was very rare, so that meant windows open a lot of the time. And I have to say hooray for a slug too! That was a loooong wait for one of those! With power too...👍👍
Awesome announcement. Great video btw also. Finally. A proper C30-7 model being made. Hopefully there will some late 1990s on up varients with ditchlights on BN, CSX, and NS examples would be nice. Santa Fe and lease unit ones as well.
HOLY SMOKES, Rapido is doing the C30-7 and they're offering them in BN and Santa Fe too! I think I just had an out of body experience! I'm so hyped for this!
Next on N-Scale Amtrak Cascáde train please Rapido! Come on! That’ll be a huge hit for everyone and they’ll get sold out instantly! If you end up doing and since I made the suggestion I get first dibs lol
Cascades, Surfliner and San Joaquin passenger cars would be an instant sell out for N scale since we've had the locomotives for 2 decades with no cars to pull.
I hope on one of your future C30-7 runs, we get NS with Ditchlights, New Hope and Ivyland and the unique Conrail C30-7As, as well as the Pennsylvania Northeastern GP9RM #7010
A GP9rm? With slug?? Ohhh my! That's cool!! Would be nee to see some more Canadian oddities like the Sweeps. A couple model suggestions for the oddballs on this side of the boarder would be the IC's Paducah rebuilds & the rather odd looking FM H20-44. Oooooh! And a Santa Fe Beep! As for the C30-7? It's just a newer U-boat. Torpedo it! Then there's the Turboliner. No thanks! I'd rather a herring that doubles as a saw....
There is a 100 percent chance I will pre order a gp9rm with slug (flexcoil). I want to say it is my belief you are the first to mass produce a slug, I know the Athearn calf units have been out for decades, but they are totally different than this. I applaud this as i am a nut for ; B units, slugs, cow/calf sets, TEBU's, brake/ hump sleds, etc
Ohhhh my god there is a GOD !!!! Yes finally a GP 9RM . I’m blown away. I need one in my life. Rapido rocks!!! Mass Coastal 2008 is a ex CN GP 9RM,which is my railroad.
Nice to see more Conrail and the overlooked GE C30-7. The slugs too are great but this means maybe a release of Conrail slugs? Such as MT-4 and MT-6 and looked like bodies of the old Alco RS units at the nose. So excited.
Im so excited to see a model railroad company come out with a GP9RM and Slug Unit In HO Scale but as much as I would love to get one its the price that would most likely stop me from getting one because if I could I would get it in DCC Sound form but I think that you guys will do a great job
Btoo excited for the C30-7, I would like that in future runs of C30-7 they release more schemes from Mexico There are 6 more schemes apart from the NdeM, which are FNM, FCP, TFM, Ferrovalle (FTVM), Ferromex (FXE) and Ferrosur (FSRR)
GP-9 units, and slugs. You did say Slugs? and Powered? a slug unit. Like the thing with no cab? Powered. I think you have my attention.. can I have them now?
Hi Guys I love your really super cool videos and I have purchased a dozen of your Amazing locomotives especially the C-30-7 which I added to my NJ Transit fleet which I custom painted as a U-34ch in NJ DOT bluebird paint scheme. I also purchased 2 of Your Amazing NJ Transit F-40phs. And 4 sets of 4 Bombardier NJ Transit Coaches and a Cab Car in each set. Will you ever consider creating my favorite Locomotive of all time and one of the oldest fleets still running in revenue service for NJT. The Legendary and Much Anticipated GP-40p-2 CNJ and UP and SP versions. As well as The Legendary 3of the 13 CNJ/NJT GP-40ph-2s # 4100 still presently operating in revenue service #4109 in both CNJ NJT paint schemes and also # 4101 in the old blue bird NJ Dot paint scheme and NJT paint schemes. There was originally 13 GP-40p-2s built for The CNJ railroad. They were and still are the most reliable locomotives for NJT. If you create them in HO scale. I would purchase a fleet of them. They would also really go great with the NJT comet cars and also your CNJ/DOT blue and yellow commuter coaches. I own 4 sets of 6 coaches per set. I believe they would be a Huge hit and would create a large amount of revenue service for Rapido as well.
I really hope this means you guys are going to make C30-7As and C36-7s someday. I mean the half dozen resin shells I have started to assemble and add KV models etched parts are just screaming silently out to you to make them as Rapido branded goodness instead. I love Conrail so much I just need to spend a good $1000 or more just on six axle GE Rapido awesomeness. Also that GP9RM is dope. I like zebra stripes.
Would like to pre order the N scale turbo liner set. No options or dealer update. Even to preorder the set please let me know. Also your updated website has serious issues. Please advise
Hey, I have a question about the new GP9RMs you guys are coming out with, will you guys come out with single units with the strobe lights on it, or are you guys just having the units with strobe lights as a set with the slug units? I’m just curious if you guys are going to do that.
Oh rip my wallet, but I would love to pre-order those RTL turboliners. as for the GP9's, I will for now bombard the suggestion form for them to be in N scale so that I can repaint them into AMT colors
If I could ask for anything on the C30-7’s, please make sure the radius geometry is correct for the nose this time. It was wayyy too rounded on the B36-7’s. Also please note that the CSX and predecessor units had a specific style of step well not found on other roads, as of now they’ll be incorrect.
