Great locomotive! Rapido definitely have set the bar for future steam locomotives! One thing James missed in his review which I think is a MAJOR advancement for HO steam is the drive system. That fact that ALL the drive wheels are driven!!!
Yes having all the wheels driven is the best part of this model, and a wonderful way to solve one of the biggest problems with model steam locomotives.
Agreed. Nice to see independent geared drive. Just like what works for diesel and electric models. Much smoother than relying on the side rods. Especially for sprung drivers. All steam models should be built that way. Also nice to see - working front coupler. I'd say it won't work well on less than 30" radius, though. Nothing against Rapido - the nature of large steam on a model railroad. Big locomotives need big curves....
Very nice review of the Locomotive, James! Helluva model as well! Only thing is ... of the list price - almost $700.00 - it should come equipped with a smoke unit. Overall though, a very neat little Steam Locomotive!
I bought the BC Rail 2860 variation, but unfortunately had to send it back as a few bugs cropped up in the first days of running. Thankfully, Rapido has outstanding customer service and they stand behind their product. For their first steam locomotive, I'm honestly impressed despite the problems I experienced. I plan to make a review of my own of this splendid model in the near future. Thanks and well done on another great video, James!
@@amtraklover The issues I had were: - Boiler Shell Heating Up (I didn't want to fry the engine's electronics or motor, so I stopped as soon as I felt it) - Loss of slow-speed control (Even after using CV54 - which resets it - it didn't work; the driving wheels would get pause for a brief moment while in rotation) - Exhaust Chuffs out of sync. But again, I'm glad Rapido was willing to take it back and check it out.
At 18:02 you must have hit F17 referred to as "Silly Sound". What you here is the Canadian National Anthem. I have another Rapido that plays the theme to the cartoon Hercules. My belief is that this is this is the result of Jason's sense of humour.
I got mine already and it’s my favourite train so thank you for reviewing it, and it still was Canadian Pacific when it was painted for the royal train
Nice job JLWII2000, very beautiful locomotive and looks very impressive!😉 Just a note I am leaving for Scotland with my brother and father for three weeks and for my 18th birthday on July 5th, so I may note see all your videos but I will try to watch them when I have some time. Great job again, you always do an awesome job. Hope you have a good night.😊❤️🌙👍🏻👍🏻
Good review there! I fell like pointing out a thing or two; not to put down your review in any way, just one or two things I have yet to hear in video reviews about the loco and that I think other viewers might be interested to know. For one thing, it's actually got two separate speaker set-ups. You've got speakers in the tender for a louder sound, but you can flip a switch on the underside of the tender and the sound (albeit quieter due to technical limitations) will actually come out of the smokebox! How's that for prototypical? :P And to round out Rapido's inclusion of Easter Egg/Silly sounds, they also included a recording of King George VI giving a speech during his Canadian visit. One final thing, that I think few people in the Western Hemisphere know: the Royal Hudson is in fact Rapido's SECOND steam loco! Their first one is a British loco, the Stirling Single built for Locomotion Models. Again, good review, and hope you like yours as much as I'm liking mine!
How odd that the default whistle is the worst sounding of the bunch. Thanks for doing the others James. Love what Rapido is doing. I hope they do US steam.
This is a special livery indeed. It’s the locomotive HRH Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip travelled on when they did their Royal Tour of Canada in 1959.
it's a model of a CPR Hudson that pulled the Royal Train for the Royal visit to Canada in 1939 by Due to the fact the single CPR Hudson locomotive pulled the 12 car train 3,224 miles without a problem, King George VI allowed the H1c, d and e classes of CPR Hudsons to be called Royal Hudsons and to wear the crowns on their running boards. There was no Royal visit by Queen Elizabeth in 1958, it was in 1959 and Canadian National Railways and Canadian Pacific Railways split the duties of hauling the Royal Train which incidentally was all done with diesel-electric locomotives.
One interesting fact All of the royal Hudson’s are I believe the only locomotives outside of Europe that has been given the “Royal” status after the cpr 2850 was painted royal blue and pulled I think a monarchs special train when the family toured Canada so that’s why no matter which one of the royal Hudson’s they have the clown on the running board Don’t take my word for it though
That is the Canadian National Anthem. They put the theme from Hockey Night in Canada in one of their other units...I think it was the C40-8M cowl unit.
The model does look gorgeous, Sadly after some items in OO then the Hudson, but one day though :D But you could count the Stirling Single for Locomotion Models / NRM and Model Rail for the J70 Tram engine as others they have done for contracts.
Great new loco! Looking forward to getting my BCR version. But why on earth are your boxes growing ever bigger? The RDC boxes were already huge. It takes a HUGE amount of space just to store those bloody boxes. A little more modest packaging would be truly appreciated!!!
@@russellloomis4376 The anthem is fine and is a neat egg, but there are essential things to modern steam locomotives that are considered to be "high end". It would seem that Rapido has some work to do before they can dive into steam. Far as I'm concerned, my Broadways look/run/sound just as goos and cost significantly less.
@@towcat You realize Rapido mostly makes Canadian prototypes. I have the Broadway 4-6-2 Light Pacific in Canadian Pacific livery. It is so wrong it is almost a different loco. The wheel arrangement is correct, that's about it. So let Rapido do what they do best, Canadian prototypes, us Canadian's who have waited years for this are more than prepared for the price.
I just acquired one of these and I must agree that it's not as good a value as the BLI steamers. However, it's the only non-brass Royal Hudson out there.
you're paying for craftmenship detail and quality. You can have it outfitted with smoke if you want smoke, but not every modeler wants or utilizes it. But me, i like my steamers to steam!
@@michaelgmoore5708 The price is due to the sheer valume of extra seperatly applied and painted parts, other steamers with smoke, don't have. The price is justified.
I have been on a train pulled by One, 2860, I have seen CPR Empress (2816) in action in 2008 but my favorite loco of all time is the Canadian Pacific 2-10-4 Selkirk ... I just wish they had still working examples of the class. The sad part is they are so heavy they cannot operate west of Revelstoke BC. (Ok for their designed job of being Pushers based out of Field to push trains over the rogers pass) but it means that I would never be able to see one in person without travel even if there were working examples. (as I live West of Revelstoke)
My favorite Canadian locomotives, the CPR 4-6-4 and 4-8-4. I am torn what to do now to own one of the Hudsons. Do I buy one of these Hi-Tech plastic models? Wait for a good higher end old brass version and convert to DCC? Or spend a year to scratch build one to my specifications? Tough decision. One thing - CPR's 12 wheel tenders look odd to me without the locomotive attached due to the trucks extending past the end beams......
I’ve always wondered are these your personal locomotives or do the companies send them to you for reviews and you have to send them back just curious because you have an awesome collection?
Wow that looks like a neat and attractive locomotive with plenty of good things in it. How much is it, I wonder? *goes to check* $480... Guess I won't be grabbing that anytime soon.
Got 2850 last week, just waiting on the pwrs version to ship out. Pricey but totally worth it in the long run I like the packaging though I'll probably leave the sleeve off so it won't wear out early
great Vid James on Rapido's first steam loco the royal version that crossed the country pully the king and queen of England. I was wondering though with scale trains in the future will they do the CSX 911 and 1776 units?
Can You Do A Review On the now out of stock Atlas Articulated autoracks, and when the multimax autoracks come out can you please review those? I would Greatly Appreciate it ! Also Nice Review!
I'm drawing a royal Hudson in this livery, just wondering does it have a black or blue smoke box and what colour are the wheels. it's a bit hard to tell!
Kind of annoyed. You didnt give a view of the inside of the lit cab and there appears to be an inspection light I would have liked to have seen a close up of. Detailed model deserves a more detailed shots of it in action. Sorry, was disappointed with this video...
I’ll be impressed if Rapido makes a Canadian National 2-6-0 line or 0-6-0 line. I already have two road numbers in mind respectively. I’d also instal Tsunami 2, and take the Loksound out.
HO Hobbyist I will be honest and say I don’t know. Tsunami 2 definitely sounds better than Paragon 3 and I have no engines that have ESU sound systems as they’re either DCC ready or BLI. I just go with Tsunami 2 as it just sounds great, so it’s just personal preference. I just put Tsunami 2 in my Bachmann GS-4 and fell in love with that engine all over again since I couldn’t use it often. I prefer it over others is all.
@@James-Railyard You should at least play with the ESU before spending the money on a Tsunami decoder. I have an RDC and am quite happy with it, and it has only a small selection of sounds since it's not a full locomotive.
@@hohobbyist1098 i see what you are saying, but i still want to go with what i prefer. there is at least one engine i won't take the loksound out of, if i can ever afford it, and that's the Scale Trains big Blow turbines as i have heard the sounds from them and i am impressed with them. i just really prefer the brand i do and that's that.
evileyeball What I would recommend for you is hit the internet and check if there are any clubs around you to model with. Usually all sorts of running space there!
0-9 is all you'll be able to do. If you're looking at Rapido-level motive power, do yourself a huge favour and get a better system. EZ Command is just holding you back-- it's the very bottom end of DCC. You'll be astounded at the difference even if you just pick up a used MRC Prodigy Express or Advanced..
John Smith HO is still the most popular. I like american flyer the best for size and realism. O GAUGE TAKES TOO MUCH SPACE FOR MANY OF US WHO LIVE IN APARTMENTS OR SMALL HOUSES.
I thing we do not care about the box and spending so much time looking at every side. No doubt the engine without the box and paperwork would only cost us about $400 !
Just found you; pity we're all in 00 gauge here in the UK. It will look too small on my layout...............Mike in Cardiff...find me on YT under.......MikeWilcock
Great locomotive! Rapido definitely have set the bar for future steam locomotives! One thing James missed in his review which I think is a MAJOR advancement for HO steam is the drive system. That fact that ALL the drive wheels are driven!!!
Southern Railway leased one of the Royal Hudsons for a year or so for the excursion program.

Agreed! They are by far my favourite Canadian steam locomotives
Lol I almost died when it played the national anthem!😂
Hell, I nearly stood up!
I loved it when it did it lol😂
I got mine, it’s VERY interesting. I love it! The national anthem had me dying on the floor laughing.

At 18:02 is rapido’s hidden sound feature that they add to every locomotive.
I have an RDC. Do you know how to find the secret sounds?
HO Hobbyist I also have an rdc and have not found that special sound.
I think it says so in the Manuel
Beautiful beautiful beautiful steam locomotive I think this is the best product not just for repito but for the best model in 2019
I bought the BC Rail 2860 variation, but unfortunately had to send it back as a few bugs cropped up in the first days of running.

What issues did you run into if you don't mind me asking?
@@amtraklover The issues I had were:
- Boiler Shell Heating Up (I didn't want to fry the engine's electronics or motor, so I stopped as soon as I felt it)
- Loss of slow-speed control (Even after using CV54 - which resets it - it didn't work; the driving wheels would get pause for a brief moment while in rotation)

That is the Canadian National Anthem. They put the theme from Hockey Night in Canada in one of their other units...I think it was the C40-8M cowl unit.
They put three sound bites from the Muppets in the rebuilt F40s.
A real beautiful locomotive
Great video but Rapido's first steam engine model was the amazing GNR Stirling Single 4-2-2 No.1
True, but the Royal Hudson is their first North American steam offering.
@@trainmaster844 good point would be awesome if you could review the Single I have one and its amazing!
