Hi all, The samples are in - and the RS-11 now has a cab that is the correct height! This new tooling is worth the investment as we did not want to have an "almost-accurate" RS-11 model but an "actually-accurate" RS-11 model. The new order deadline is April 1st. You can read more about it here: www.rapidotrains.com/ho-alco-rs11/You can order from your favorite hobby shop or direct. Photos comparing the old and new cabs below. -Jason  |

Jason, what sound decoders will Rapido have going forward? This determines if I order with or without sound.

Jason,
Any updates on the SW1200's? What do we get with undec's? Roller or Friction trucks, MU or non MU handrails? And, are you guys making the correct loop (later) style cut lever that a good portion of them had?

You know, this explains why the P1K RS-11 had the wrong cab height...they used the RS-18 cab they had done previously.

Speaking of Rapdio SW1200, was it here someone showd a photo of the tread plate pattering being very large? |

And, are you guys making the correct loop (later) style cut lever that a good portion of them had? The trucks have separate bearings and will have a number of other separately added details so they can represent different variations. Both styles of end handrails will be included with the undecs. We’re still looking into the different cut levers so I can’t give you an answer about that yet. The walkway tread is of a completely different design on the US built SW1200s and will be as accurate as we can make within production tolerances. It’s our intention to make the Rapido EMD SW1200 the definitive model of this classic switcher. -Rapido Gareth |

What about the decoders?  ?? |

Thanks Gareth.
I sure hope you do the late style cut levers also. A good portion of 1200's had them, or were retrofitted with them.

Good to know the tread is planned to be as accurate as possible.

Gareth I know THAT. I want to know what model decoder you will use. It used to be Loksound Select, and I wont run those. I've got 7 engines on order that I'll change to sound if you're going to use the V5. If you can't tell me I'll simply cancel. Dave |

I spoke with the ESU people a couple of weeks ago, and I was told the Select is no longer available, and everybody will be using the V5 decoder. Unless I misunderstood Alex, or he is missing some key info, it looks like V5 will be the new standard. |

The language of commerce is English. ESU is engaged in commerce. I suggest they get with it.

I hope the sound of the Hancock Air Whistle is more distinct & louder on the RS & SW than it is on the FL-9's....

Once the regular RS11's are done, or sooner, I'm hoping for some low nose units. LV & D&H for starters.
