Rapido's New EMD GP38 In Action!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- The EMD GP38 is one of the most successful diesel locomotives of all time, and it's finally gotten the Rapido treatment in HO scale!
Join project manager Matt as he puts our first decorated factory sample with all of its sound and lighting features to the test. With the order deadline coming up on June 15, this video will make you want to get those orders in!

These look great! I can’t wait to see you guys do some for CN, GTW, DWP, IC, ICG, and GM&O
They should have had those being a Canadian company
@@iggyjill I really want GTW GP38s. I'd take some IC late black GP38s even though they left the roster in the 90s before CN. DWP had GP38-2s but not GP38s. The only 'CN' GP38s I know of are GTW 4995 and 4996 painted in CN. I'm not sure if there are more. CN didn't purchase any GP38s new, only GP38-2s
We have lots more road names to do in the future!
hello rapido's its is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks friends randy
Thanks Randy!
Man, I can't wait to get my hands on those Southern units!!!!! YES!!! YES!!!!! Super job Hosers!!
We do what we can!
These are absolutely top notch. Im placing my order right freakin’ now! Can’t wait to get it lol. Great stuff guys!
Thank you!
I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!! 👍
Going to wait for the next round of the GP38. Hopefully a CP or GTW one will be included. They are beautiful though.
I agree with you I'm waiting on the 2nd run. Hopefully rockisland blue/white paint scheme. 1st run is nice too.
More to come!
The second i see a video from rapido trains: “I WANT”
The Santa Fe units are absolutely beautifully done!
Where’s my CP and CN???
In china
Right?
CN didn't have straight-38s, but CP might happen at some point!
Ahh
@@rapidotrains You're not thinking 4th dimensionally! You could do a CN-painted regular GP38 like GTW 4995 or 4996
The 3d renders are so good, I get fooled by them every time.
Thanks! We feel they're very effective when we don't have decorated samples.
As an O Gauger, I’m impressed! You guys are like the Sunset models of HO
That's some high praise, thanks!
I’ll take 2 Santa Fe and 2 Burlington northern.
I picked those two Roads because they have the yellow rotating beacon. I just love those rotating beacon. 😊
They are super-cool!
Can't wait for the Illinois Central Railroad version
👍
Rapido strikes again! These look awesome and I can’t wait to get mine in BN and BNSF!
Thanks!
I'm looking forward to these! I'd love some of the Conrail, BN, and Santa Fe versions!
All fine choices!
I’ll take the NS Version
👍
Very impressive and attractive looking gp38 model and I am glad that someone finally produced an original gp38 model instead of just another gp38-2 model. I am looking forward to seeing these gp38 models available in the hobby stores, I am most interested in either the B&O or Penn Central examples of this model type.
Thanks! They were a long time coming.
Man, Burlington Northern and BNSF GP38s! Now if we can get Frisco added, the trifecta will be complete!
All in due time...
Do the GP38 have colored class light as per prototype?
Looks great! Any plans for some Chessie EMDs in HO?
Nice! Can’t wait for the H4!
👍
Will next month show the commuter cars ? I hope you did Altamont commuter Express cars not the new scheme the old scheme
Stay tuned!
@rapidotrains Are You Making Conrail Dark Green Passenger Cars Ho Scale Now ?
Not planned at this time, but we'll keep them in mind.
Although I mostly stick to modern-era schemes, these look sweet! I might as well take a BNSF one!
Side note, can't wait for the bilevel commuter car announcement! Hoping for some of the updated schemes (ACE, Coaster, GO) and CEM cab cars!
Hang tight!
I agree with you I'm waiting on the 2nd run. Hopefully rockisland blue/white paint scheme. 1st run is nice too.
Rock Island didn't have GP38s. They had similar GP38-2s but none of these.
While they didn't own any standard GP38s, there are other Rock Island diesels we'd like to make!
Amazing models! Have you guys ever considered doing the GP40MC from MBTA?
Thanks! They aren't in the plans at the moment, but you may want to fill out our online suggestion form: form.jotform.com/210555532174249
very cool!
👍
Ordered a BNSF one, can't wait.....next run, how about a BNSF "Smurf"?
We'll keep them in mind!
CP Rail Multi-mark sometime too please!
We'd like to offer CP's GP38AC units in the future.
great GPs
Thanks!
What's the ballpark delivery date for these? I've already ordered my Southern's.
Likely in Q1 2024.
Nice video but where are the Union Pacific GP38 locomotives? Did you forget to produce them for the Union Pacific? Will you produce another run of GP38s that will include the Union Pacific?
Most likely in the next run. There are only so many schemes we can do at one time.
@@rapidotrains Thank you.... I'll be waiting.....
That horn is pretty awful. Not accurate for ATSF either. Hope that can get fixed for the production run.
Horn was I think RS3K, should be S3L for Santa Fe.
What do you mean by pretty awful?
@@ATSF104 As much as I myself like rapido products the horn sounds terrible as I had to replay the clip to hear the 2 blasts at the beginning
Upload an ESU project.
@@netrainvideos1501 You can choose different horns by changing the CVs
N scale in the works?
Not planned at the moment, but anything is possible in the future.
Whatabout N Scale?!?
My question exactly!
I bet if the HO versions do really well, and I don't see why they wouldn't, they will end up doing the N scale version. Just guessing though.
Oh man please do a GM&O!
At the moment we don't have plans to make these in N scale, but anything is possible.
Aw man theres no IAIS
Next run!
No UP😪
Next run!
