good to hear from you

They look and sound great!

Damn, now I have to get one!!!!

Very nice looking layout.

Great layout. Definitely subscribing to your channel now!

Thanks for sharing Al. The last few 4-axle (EMD) locomotive models from Rapido are looking pretty good. Cheers.

Amazing layout Al..😊

These look great.  Looking forward to how you weather them.

tmandn... beautiful set of engine !!  btw, what did you drop for the dynamometer car ? thanks for such nice description, too !!

These look superb. I live in the interior but often work in Abbotsford, so when I’m down for work, I’ll have to drive a bit further in & check the store.

Do you have any of these in stock there?  Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one of the roadswitchers; even if it means installing a couple of resistors to dim those ditchlights.

i ended getting 8228 i rate it a 8 out of 10 i had a bent pull bar had to glue it back into place then the warped sand lines also were a let down
so they get a 3 point deduction the thing that upset me the most is the speakers sound grainy  so i deducted 10 points for that 84 out of a 100 isnt bad
but ive seen people with missing parts i just wish the speakers were double checked they should of at least did that

That's a sad statement to say it's common to see parts fall off a Rapido product.

Nice review.  I have unit #8234.  I agree about the ditch light brightness.  Would you happen to know which CVs alter their brightness?  I do not have a lokprogrammer.  Thanks
