Just got my 4316 in the mail last week, and I love it. All the little additions you put into this thing truly make the three year wait worth it. Pat yourselves on the back with this one- you nailed it.
I want one. You can’t beat a covered wagon. E8’s are a very nice looking locomotive too bad it didn’t have the double headlight which means one of them would’ve been a Mars light that would’ve been so cool but I know you gotta do prototypical.
I got mine and I absolutely love how it looks and the look of the box. The only part I nock points off for is the sound. I wish they could’ve been offered as a silent model. The speakers and sound decoder will be replaced with superior offerings when available to do so.
Just got mine from Rapido directly--ordered via Rapido website. still appears to have an order option for 4316 on Rapido website, so maybe more still available. Great loco and I love the presentation case.
@@rapidotrains Well, I saw you today setting up at the Hobby Store, but we’ll meet officially tomorrow. Thanks for driving down from Ontario to meet me from Kansas!
The Presentation of the Model, the wood commemorative Edition, the Certificate, pins, and information is very special. I am waiting from Rapido an EMD E8A of NYCS ! It is going to be near the this AMTRAK E8A
This is the must-get Amtrak locomotive for the year, no better way to put it. It would've been cool if just for the 4316 and Amtrak units if functions 21-24 were Amtrak related sounds.
I was debating whether to leave mine unopened and treat it as a collectors item. But I just checked a major retailer and the Loco is in stock now. So if anyone that missed the initial preorder you can still get one. I guess Amtrak E8 #4316 is going to be rolling under the Christmas tree in a couple months. Now I need to get some passenger cars!! Good job guys.
I got mine yesterday; it came from a Retailer from NY all the way to Merida, Yucatán- Mexico. Very well packed. I haven’t yet try it in the test track. Beautiful Model. My first Rapido Locomotive. It is a jewel! Thank you Jason and your Rapido team. One thing I think I have to complain , although I have not an image from the rear, but is a DIAPHRAGM suppose to be at the rear door?
Took a while from announcing/preorders to delivery. Thanks to covid times we live in I assume. But the customers that preordered it are more then happy with them. Should have ordered a extra one for myself. Hope my distributor has a extra one when I do my weekly order.
One thing I will say about this is it runs very well. Our layout is very demanding and has some steep grades and difficult vertical curves, and it took all of them like a champ.
Some railroads had the portholes removed on their E8 diesels, often in during overhaul in the late 60s and early 70s. This was likely to save on maintenance costs.

Thanks! We're so thrilled that you're happy with it!

I’ve taken the shell off, it does have the provisions for a MARS light but since it wasn’t on the prototype then it won’t be on this unit.

WOW! So beautiful and authentic.That horn is AWESOME!!
Thanks!
Thats great! During amtraks opening. They took e and f units from other railways with dying passenger service. Pretty cool.
I would love to see this come to N scale

I was very excited to see mine came with not one but two pins! I wasn't aware they came in the box until i saw them... Top notch stuff!
Wow, I knew it would be nice, this is GORGEOUS! Home run, Rapido!
Thanks, we gave it our all!
I got mine. It’s amazing. See you all this weekend!
See you tomorrow!

Good to see the President and CEO earning his keep
Agreed!

What a beautiful locomotive.
Thanks! We're pretty happy with how it turned out.
Looks awesome. About 6 months ago I got the E9 New Haven. I will be ordering this from Trainland this weekend. Great products.
Beautiful, just beautiful. Very detailed as always with Rapido. Sounds great! I love the braking sound. Will it be available in N scale? I hope so...
Got mines yesterday and it really is a well done unit
Now I'm just waiting on the Southern one to arrive
This a such a beautiful model! I like the unlisted sound files!😉
Mine is shipping today can’t wait to get it.
The waiting is the hardest part!
Awesome! Especially love the M3 horn on this unit.
Thanks!

Another Great job from Rapido Thanks guys
Thanks for the kind words!

Fingers crossed for you!

Glad to hear it!
Awesome looking model.
Thank you!
On Amtraks 100th Birthday, all their Units (Both new and old) should be painted in the Day 1 Livery of 4316.
4316's Paint Was Used For Amtrak ALC-42 Unit 301 With A 50th Anniversary Logo On
And it looks pretty sweet!
Very nice. I don't model Amtrak, but I am tempted to get one.
Well hopefully you can find one!
I would like to see an Amtrak E60 in both HO and N scale with DCC sound.
Well hit up that product suggestion form!
@@rapidotrains I did. I haven't seen it available for purchase yet.
Nice work 👍
Thanks!
Good video. Looking forward to the other E8s! What was the steam locomotive at 0:40?
That’s Grand trunk western k4a No. 5629
Looks great
Nice railway video, Like!
Thank you!
Very nice guys ..
Thank you kindly!
Got my HO version... when will we be seeing this model in N-scale:-)
I like to have this one in N scale 😎
Wonderful video
Thank you!
8:07 - in order to take it for a spin, you would need to put it on a turntable. 😏
What happened to numbering the COA? Would be nice to know which number we got.
I want to bring 4316 back and run it with 301
we need this in Nscale
Well hit up that product suggestion form!
Will you be having the pins on your swag shop??? I want one!
They’re not currently available separately, but we’ll keep that in mind for the future.
i like this
👍🏼
Why no portholes? You mentioned that there are no portholes but why no portholes.

Damnit…..I’ve been really annoyed by Canadian companies…..but now I have to just order this one unit.
Do it!
Where is the part 2 for the model BART train it's been more than a few weeks
In the works!
@@rapidotrains Thanks for telling me lots of UA-camrs ignore me
Where is my Via Rail ?
They'll be on their way towards the end of the year.
I really wanna work for repeater trains but i’m too far and my parents won’t let 😢❤
Maybe one day!
Man if only N scale……
love the locomotive but am not a big fan of Amtrak
Such internal conflict!
Speaking of passenger cars, more BN Executive Cars? *Cough cough*
The tooling for some of our older models are in need of refurbishment, but we’d love to make some of these models again in the future!
Would you guys be open to doing f units such as F7's and FT's?
We're open to almost anything!
