The Rapido SW1200 in Action!

[@neillooker6077]

There is a fine line between crazy and artistic greatness. The world does not know which category Rapido falls in. Then there is just having to much fun and creating great model railroad equipment with an evil bus!

[@rapidotrains]

We like to think we've achieved a balance of both, but we're mostly just crazy!

[@douglasnash7821]

would have been better with the "Psycho" stabbing music when the bus was following Janet............what next?? Rick Abramson driving the bus???

[@SMTMainline]

Excellent video as always, the new SW12000s look great! I might be misreading this but did someone wright my channel name on the chalkboard at 11:56? I thought that was pretty funny.

[@rapidotrains]

Yup. We were wondering if you'd notice that! 😎

[@Og_MangoLIVE]

Yea that was me, i was telling my club president about your channel and he told me to write it on the chalkboard so he'd remember what to look up.. i totally forgot to take it off before the Rapido guys showed up.. lol, enjoy your cameo!

[@evanstraintubeyt6950]

Hello

[@marclemaire9512]

That SP unit sure looks good with all those bells and whitles !

[@rapidotrains]

Yes they do! Our best selling SW1200 version too.

[@jgalexander510]

Love the GM. I used to drive one in college. A bit gutless, but a lot of fun. Really beefed up the forearms with the lack of power steering.

[@rapidotrains]

You should see Jason with his spaghetti arms driving it! 😂

[@dannyholt105]

Cool model and video guys! That stalking bus sequence was epic! Janet is the only person I know that can make a rock look good by just sitting on it. Stay safe! Cheers, Danny

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks!

[@mikecole819]

Glad to see Janet back, the future Golden Globe winner in the” Best Actress” in a hobby role! You rock GF..

Lol thanks!

YES....MORE Janet videos

[@tct855]

Janet & Jordan & the boss and his bus, Great presentation introduction to the outstanding looking SW1200's models. Very nice looking detailed models, all version look fantastic. Just love the variety. Great work everyone! Keep up the great and fun work. Thanx Thom...

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks so much!

[@henriknilsson7851]

Just took delivery of an SP unit. All I can say is wow… just wow. Just ordered another.

[@rapidotrains]

Awesome! We put everything we had into these babies!

[@henriknilsson7851]

@@rapidotrains I hope we can persuade Rapido to do something awesome like an ALCO DL109. I have a bunch of the Proto/Walthers New Haven models, they run well but they are rather dated. I would buy New Haven, Rock Island, Milwaukee and Southern units.

I'm enjoying the Northern Pacific variant. F21 is hilarious the guys at the club got a kick out of it.

Thanks!

I laughed out loud at Jason yelling “GET ON THE BUS!” I can’t wait for my Mo-Pac SW1200 to show up. Finally a roster gap that’ll be filled...and with those BFOT class lights too.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks for watching! The SW models are in production now and they should begin arriving later this winter!

[@MatthewC90]

It’s so neat seeing one of your locomotive releases with rotating axle bearing caps! I absolutely love the detail despite how small it may seem! Great job overall!

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks, this is a feature we're adding to our newer locomotive toolings!

I wonder if Rapido is interested in future SP models. It does help having an ally in the higher ups (Jordan, please! We need T&NO PAs in the next run!) Put my name down for an E9 if you ever get around to that.

Absolutely! The SP has proven to be a top seller so there definitely will be more coming!

[@lancomedic]

Cute video. I haven't had a layout in over 30 years. The detail, casting quality and electronics are amazing but after all this time that coupler looks exactly the same as it did 30 years ago. Giant spring and goofy trip lever, and for you "Airplane" fans SURLEY there must be a better scale coupler by now.

[@rapidotrains]

These #5 style coupler is still the gold standard in HO, but scale couplers are becoming more popular. We are beginning to use Kadee #158 scale couplers in our freight cars though!

[@lancomedic]
