How To Clean Your Rapido Locos
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- The first video by our own Dobby Allard. In this video, Zobby shows you how to clean your Rapido locomotive, including removing gunk from the gearboxes. Floor runners take note - if you run your Rapido locomotive on E-Z Track on the carpet or floor and it stops working, there is a good chance your gearboxes need cleaning.
We hope you enjoy Robby's first video!
Good Job Dobby, You will fit in quite nicely with the Rapido family. Not easy doing videos. Looking forward to more of them.
Thanks! 👍
Zobby needs a raise for this excellent video!
He has clearly paid you to say that. No problem. We're OK with a little bribery. 🤣
he needs a raise just for that priceless face he did at the end
Hobby Lobby Dobby
I just love the way you guys make your videos fun and entertaining. It's good to see there's still some lighthearted modellers around.
I think a TurboTrain may be in our future....
Thanks for your kind words! Turbo? What Turbo?
Good video. Major Kudos on the how to pack your train part. That is much needed for many to see.
Thanks!
Thanks Dobby! Great video. I've been doing it wrong for years. Mainly because I've been using a whisk.
Man you are our type of customer. 😆
rapidotrains I missed my chance to say “Great jobby”. Darn. Also, please pass on to Mr. Shron that I love reading his Mad Magazine... I mean newsletters.
Nice first effort, looking forward to more Dobby. You missed a perfect spot to insert Jeremy’s robo-driver from the previous video. Keep them coming!
Thanks, will do! 👍
Love these weekly Rapido at home guys
Thanks! We'll keep them up. Jason is doing a Facebook Live on Wednesday May 20th, 8 p.m. EDT.
Thanks Rapido your videos always make my day,and they sure help during this lockdown.
Thanks! Glad we could help during these times.
Great advice. Loved the turbo, now that was weather!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the tips Nobby
No problem!
I like to put a thin plastic bag over the foam cradle to stop sharp detail parts getting stuck to it
Good tip!
This was very helpfully, Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Where can I buy a whisk? Well done!
Thanks!
Love this. Want to see more of the new guy. LOL
He'll be back!
So... When's the HO Turbo announcement?
Someday.......
Very helpful
Nobby is a star. 😄
@@rapidotrains dobby
So that the end screen with the turbo train. Is that a hint as to another run of that model is coming soon??? I hope and prey. eh eh eh
Maybe!
I just take mine out to the driveway and use my pressure washer. BTW, do you carry replacement handrails? Mine have all disappeared somehow.
🤣
No Lilly....no Janet...the Penguins mascot, for cryin' out loud...!! Dunno, Wobby....
BUT, nice save with the Turbo footage...
I guess the next video will have to include both of them!
@@rapidotrains maybe a Bill Durnan photo in the background....
Great video....one critique ....spotlight what you are doing, couldn't see the details of the popped the gearbox cover
Noted!
Dobby For CEO!
I think we're all the CEO now.🤣
Can you make a video of you guys running the sd40-8 from BC rail
We'll be uploading our N scale Dash-8 video soon!
Oh boy I am excited
Thanks Rapido! Boy, I sure have been cleaning my GMD-1's wrong! No wonder my microwave smells like burnt plastic!! ;)
Yikes! 😂
I thought we already covered this in the 'ALS Ice Bucket Challenge'!! 😜
That's one way to keep them clean. 😂
I just use a pressure washer.
And set it to ELEVEN! 🤣
Iceburgh on the shelf back there. Let's go Pens!
Didn't notice that. Oh well, he's fired now...
Sounds like grounds for a promotion!
Give yourself a pat on the back, but not too hard. Your model is sill broken. I died right there lmao
Lol! 😂
So far all of my Rapido equipment is in great running condition!
That's great to hear!
Will this also apply to rapido steam locomotives like the d10 and the Royal hudson in certain ways
Steam engines are very different. You can't snap the gearbox covers off, unfortunately.
Ok
Steam engines are probably even difficult then diesels since it has lots of detail around the shell that is really thin and could snap of and it will be hard to remove the shell. If I had to do that on my rapido steam locomotive I would probably put supper glue right next to me
6:57 me when I stole money from my brother to buy rapido trains
Ouch! 😂
I always put mine in the dishwasher
That's just smart!
I just take my model trains with me to the bath tub
Well that's one way to do it. 🤣
So I sez to the guy I sez, "where are my N scale Comet cars?
These are in final design, should be ready for tooling soon.
@@rapidotrains OK thanks, ordering 18 of those mofos.
Mmmmmm turbo lol
🤤
I wish I could take off my gearbox covers with a jewelry’s flat head screwdriver
Well, you could try.... How much does a real RDC gearbox weigh?
rapidotrains the bottom half of a Spicer drive gearbox weighs about 780lbs ...... lol
No Janet, I may have to thumbs it down just on principle.
We’re trying to fit her in the next video!
