Rapido HO Scale Alco RS-11 Locomotive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Rapido's all-new HO scale Alco RS-11 diesel engine in action. See the many detail differences between railroads and listen to the Alco 251 prime mover.
Note we have retooled the cab so it is not as tall as in this video.
The new order deadline is April 1st. More info here: www.rapidotrai...
Separately applied door handles? Lit gauges on the control stand? You guys are insane!, I love it 😎😎😎
Just received my four Ho scale RS11s today - all BN (two patches NP). Excellent as per all of my other Rapido locos. Thank you guys. You have raised the bar on the RS 11 from all previous offerings from the various other manufacturers. I was right to pre-order from Rapido with a view to selling my older RS 11 models.
Right... I now want (need?) to get some BN F units, GP9's and also GP7's.
PS - As a Yorkshire man, I am glad to see the Yorkshire Tea - teapot and I cannot help but think that this tea/teapot is the secret of Rapido's success. I guess that the only way you could all improve things even further would be to start talking with a Yorkshire accent.
PPS - the first exhibition / train show that my new RS11's will be performing at will actually be back in my home county of Yorkshire when we'll be taking my Kamiack Falls layout t(ua-cam.com/video/m4uSvOXm5Dw/v-deo.htmlsi=VO8M7HC2aDiX9KKko Barnsley from where I now live in London. I will be able to rejuvenate my Yorkshire accent. )
Beauty, eh! Probably the best model ever of an RS11! Good job, guys!
Doggon, makes me think about moving my era up from ‘50 to ‘57 or so when RS-11’s prevalent on the N&W. I love Alco’s and the RS-11 as much as any, and they look great in N&W blue livery. This is a spectacular model, as we’ve come to expect from Rapido!
the N&W had to most RS-11s
Awesome! 👏 Love the sounds!
Thanks!
“I don’t think there’s enough lights on the front of that Espee unit.”
“There never is on an Espee.”
XD
WOW! cant wait for my Southern Pacific Unit, love the interior lights!!! Great Model
Beautiful machine,
I'm looking forward to it.
Superb model. Detailing and honking is awesome. Loved it
Nothing short of totally awesome! She may become a new hard worker (like you guys are) on my layout!
Thanks for your kind words!
Can't wait for my 2 SP units! Thanks for the preview.
Our pleasure!
"But it's all Canadian!"
*Agressively replaces CN caboose*
I really like the different variants, especially the N&W one, and the control stand lighting is a real treat.
That NP boxcar is still sitting on the layout.... :-D
Wow! Can't wait for the SP versions.
"adds a NP car to represent an "American layout" LOL Jason, as an American, I completely understand this comment. As you mentioned years ago on a podcast, there are some that still think you built N Scale back in the 70's. :)
Nice, I like this, would love to have an RS-11 SP on my layout
Might still be a few out there at certain dealers. But we do plan to run SP again at some point.
Irv Athern gave the hobby it's biggest boost ever with his $7.00 F7 with hi-f drive. Funny how Athern locomotives were reasonably priced while made in Gardena and later Compton. Now the prices are outrageous.
Keep in mind when the Hi-F drive appeared around 1957, minimum wage had just been raised to $1/hour, the price of gas was 24 cents per gallon, a brand new Chevrolet cost $2200 and a house could be had for about $12,000.
I love those lit control stands. I’ll be the first inline as long as you keep doing what your doing and offering more U.S railroads.
Aw dammit. I'm just getting back into this hobby and I'm to late to order one of the SP units. These things look awesome!
Have no fear! Many stores have ordered inventory. We may even have some - please send us an email if you can't find any. www.rapidotrains.com
It's pretty cool to see a video that's not professional, but human. I like the style, and the loco is great too. For the era and locale I'm modeling (the end of the LV) this is perfect.
Thanks for your kind words. Have you seen this LV version: www.rapidotrains.com/ho-alco-rs11-arhs/
@@rapidotrains Yeah! If you go to my website hohobbyist.weebly.com/wish-list you can see it's one of the products I plan to purchase!
Can't wait to seethe SP bloody nose one!
"- OK guys tea's here!
- Shouldn't we be working?
- (all at the same time) Nah... "
Priceless :-)
those rs11's are real beauts! i hope i can get one!
Jason, I like the look of this! Regards Stephen.
Great video as always!
We need a few more “awww... beauty’s....”
Love the sound ..... 25 brownies " equipment in the block" ..."train handling"
Can't wait for my pair of Pennsy's!!
When you make New Haven engines but nobody who lives in NH territory can afford them
They have flange squeal like the scaletrains.com turban awesome.
Great model!
Roadname-specific details are very important on all locomotives instead of generic versions of them with every roadname you can think of slapped on them. Glad to see that you guys and gals at Rapido Trains keep that as a priority with your Alco RS-11s like the Mars/gyro lights on the Southern Pacific RS-11s, the Hancock air whistles on the New York New Haven & Hartford RS-11s and radio antennas on the Pennsylvania Railroad RS-11s. I'm not sure if it would physically fit, but under the hood, I would've preferred a smoke unit because Alcos have always been known for their thick clouds of smoke they make and have even been dubbed as "steam locomotive impersonators". Also, in general, why is it that [just about] all of your locomotives don't have crew figures in the cab? That's essential for all steam locomotives and [leading] diesel locomotives to have a crew in them, don't want any ghost trains!
We produced figures once but then every locomotive had the same figures and every engine in the yard was fully crewed! So now we leave it to our customers to install the crew of their choice.
You guys were very funny, and for that I had to sub. Also very detailed and I think I can learn a lot from
Suggestion Amtrak and via P42, along with a Via set that comes with some LRC cars
Maybe one day...
🎶 everything stops for tea 🎶
I got my Northern pacific RS-11 today. The sound isnt loud enough…I am a little disappointed
Beauty eh, that’s awesome! ;)
finally first comment, love your products, I have a Modern Amtrak F40PH 229 and can't wait to start using it some more when I get a layout
I recently purchased Rapido Trains #31538 Southern Pacific Alco RS-11 #5725 DCC/Sound Engine, I read up on it before and it seemed perfect for my small layout yet it wasn't. It's sound and moment were amazing yet it couldn't navigate my code 83 track corners without retailing. Any ideas why this is a issue with this engine? I tried it on different sections with the same results, detailed.
Sounds like there may be a detail part snagging the truck. Please send us an email through our contact page and one of the warranty technicians will be in touch: rapidotrains.com/contact-us
I'll be buying a PC one to run a local on the Bel-Del and an LV one to consist behind and F7. Will these be released before December?
Yes! They should be shipped out by December 5th.
@@rapidotrains Awesome! Can't wait! Love my RDC!
Have you guys considered doing a D&H version? They had both high and low short hood, and spoiled for choice on the paintjobs they had
Yes, absolutely. This is just the first run!
@@rapidotrains Awesome I look forward to it!
looks pretty dope, you seem to be coming out with a lot of new engines at the moment? weould love to get my hands on some but not rly in my price rand and probably wouldnt work on my dcc system anyways.
Hello Rapido! Great job on the RS11!
Quick wuestion. Will you guys be doing the CV paint scheme on the next RS11 run if you guys do plan on a second run?
Yes, CV is planned.
I need a n scale rs11… or two!!!
Hit up our product suggestion form!
@@rapidotrains will do! I gotta get the Southern Pacific details!!!
How much does it cost , love the detail ?
Thanks! Full info here www.rapidotrains.com/ho-alco-rs11
When you watch this guys videos he seems really proud that he outsourced his manufacturing to China. What a great American, not. I wouldn't buy any of this if you have any inkling of patriotism in your heart.
Does all of the ALCO RS-11's have the inspection lights or just the PRR varrient?
Yes this a feature on all our RS-11 and 18 models.
I hope Rapido does the Central Vermont and Duluth Winnipeg & Pacific so I can replace my Atlas and Proto 1000 units. By the way I note the CN Hawker Siddeley caboose on Jason's layout, would Rapido ever consider doing CN's Hawker vans?
Dan D. keeps bugging us to do the Hawkers. Maybe...
That M3 sounds great, is that available for other ESU Files?
That is an ESU horn recording so we imagine so.
Jason, is that engine start up recorded from the YDHRR rs11? I got to fire up that engine and it sounds identical!
-Ben
It wasn't the YDHRR RS-11, but a 251 is a 251. Many sound very similar.
@@rapidotrains so true! It was funny the way it cycled made me feel like I was in the cab again! Great work guys!
-Ben
Will we see any Amtrak in the future maybe some amtrak Viewliner II's
We just delivered Amtrak F40s and Cabbages. Yes more Amtrak is planned.
Will the S.P. Grey and Red 2900 series have the rear headlight and number board block-off's ?
Our plan is to paint them over where appropriate and cover the headlight openings, but we are not tooling a new end with a smooth metal surface where the number boards used to be. The prototype was not consistent.
Are you going to do non dynamic? I don't think its ever been done. TP&W 400
Yes, we are doing non-dynamic versions as well.
Any plans for the RS 3?
Maybe one day...
Nor-Fork ?
Yeah, we're still trying to figure that one out.
Nuh-fuk
100th!
