SECR O1 - How Does It Sound?

[@vcs00railway]

Two things stand out to me above all the brilliant detail that Rapido have put in to this loco; 1) comes with stay alive, 2) the fire box flicker effect is best I've seen , looks like theres a 🔥

[@hoxfoxyt]

that's awesome cant believe a pre-fitted stay alive this definitely shows your one of the best company's on the market

[@2nerds1railway]

I didn't get the sound version but it is good to see updates and it also sounds amazing!!! And that ending is such a good addition!

[@RapidoTrainsUK]

Thanks :) If you change your mind later then upgrading to the sound version is just a case of changing the decoder.

[@2nerds1railway]

@RapidoTrainsUK i got the dc version anyway but it is good you do the sound chip separately as well!

[@Legomastr365]

Very excited for these to release! Ill be getting both No. 65 as preserved and Bramble!

[@SteveHarrison-cv8dg]

I cant wait! I've got three on order so far...... and I'm desperately trying to resist "Bramble". 😂😂

[@lukestevens3462]

I failed to resist Bramble...

[@SouthernRailwaySignalman]

Agreed and glad I'm not the only one, I think it's inevitable that I will get a Bramble too 😂

[@nancyeliz1126]

I ordered that one and you should too!

[@nancyeliz1126]

What’s one more?

[@chrisnorthey3715]

That's pretty incredible. Well done everyone at Rapido, fantastic work.

[@RG-Models86]

Looks and sounds amazing 👍. I'm looking forward to getting mine 😀.

[@AdiPullen]

Really cant wait

[@Mark_W_L]

I love the cab detail, but you should include a crew when the cab is as open as this.

[@1earedwolf]

ModelU will probably jump on that soon

[@MRacer001]

loving this! on a related note, anyone know if the Stirling Single will be released in time for xmas?

[@DevonGeorge85]

Very nice, looks like the sync with the speed is spot on. 😊. Can't wait to see how you come on with the 44xx.

[@michaelmiller641]

Nice!

[@johnarmstrong3782]

Nice! I've got one on order. Rapido are knocking it out of the park at the moment! Will an HM 7000 fit in it? I'm now committed to that sound solution.

[@1earedwolf]

Given how huge and clunky HM7000 decoders are, it's either gonna be an incredibly tight fit or it won't fit at all

[@johnarmstrong3782]

@ Yes , but will it fit? Is it too much to ask for a Yes or No?

[@little_britain]

I don't model the southern, but by golly that is pretty.

[@Night_Ferry]

Thats rather impressive. When are these available?

[@RapidoTrainsUK]

The order book is open until Monday :)

[@Night_Ferry]

Ok ok, you got me. DCC sound 65 ordered. I just can't resist that one!

[@Night_Ferry]

​@@RapidoTrainsUK These don't appear on the latest news letter anywhere and are absent from rails update as well. Have these been missed or is there just nothing to report?

[@chickenbites8877]

Beautiful model, but for the love of god please change the dome colour !

[@Gatherleymodeller.]

I want to get your b set coaches from rails 😊😊😊

[@SmithAndWessonM29]

Will I be able to use these sounds on a Hornby TXS decoder?

[@cliveballiston7471]

Got mine on order, when will they be available? And will the rolling stock be out at the same time?

[@RapidoTrainsUK]

We aim to deliver most models within about 9 months from the date the order book closes.

[@Alpha-oo8]

It sounds like a steam engine!
