Unboxing a Rapido Trains HO Scale Mystery Box! 11/10/23

[@JasonTrew2018]

I ordered one back in December and got it a few days later in January, mine had the Illinois Central E8A/B set, Chevy Impala (what you have there), lanyard, Nestle chocolate, tank car, Christmas ornament and the railcrew switch machine

Very nice! Great that you got two locos as well! I actually had someone I work with want the Southern E8. He got a box and ended up with a UP U25B, so I traded him my E8 for the GE.

Greetings from the United Kingdom. You should get the Rapido Trains UK Titfield Thunderbolt set - it's ace! 🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

Great haul! I'm a '50's 60's guy and your entire box is great!

"L'Eschelle" isn't the name of the car; it's French for "Scale". "L'Eschelle HO" means "Scale HO".

I see, thanks for clarifying!

You can try running that E8 in the club layout!

Cool! You’re going to need some Southern passenger cars. I recommend getting your hands on say, a few old Herkimer OK cars. They’re not much by themselves but they can be detailed and they look great if you’re willing to pimp them out. My RS 11’s are awaiting their next home as well as my FA2, and a really old/ modern RS3.
