There are some interesting details about the China factories in this article from Rapido. You may have seen it but I had not.

If I can tell you something about the RAPIDO trains is that they are trully wonderful !!
Just got the wide vision CP cabooses... WOW !!
And what about the FP9s A and future B.
GREAT details, sound, lighting options, marker lights...
Maybe more expensive, yes, but worth all the money ! |

Well, well, well... I know, this is a CP forum, but we can discuss about CN aswell !
I have just received the first batch of CN GMD-1
Finaly, a prototypical CANADIAN engine in HO scale... Not in brass at 800$ undecorated... A plastic model with as much, if not more, détails to the engine!!
I have tested one with the SOUND decoder in it... INCREDIBLE !! This is a really great engine, I tought you might like to know ! |

These are to be re-sell in my small hobby store.
HO scale is still the most popular scale.
I have been an avid N scaler for 24 years now, but HO is still the best seller...
Having said that, N scale has the biggest grown in popularity. |

I am interested in these new Amtrak F40s that have just recently been announced. I've never owned a Rapido locomotive, so I don't know how they run. Do they have can motors, or open-frame? Are they 16V maximum, or are they 12V like Kato? Do they do OK when MU'd? How much maintenance do they need?
Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks. |
