Hollpoll runs his Rapido APT !! Plus a Book Recommendation-Model Railways 00 Gauge.

I recommend a book on the Bullied "Leader" class followed by a few minutes of my Rapido Advanced Passenger Train running around the layout. I warn of the huge overhang the unit has and the tortures of coupling it together for the first time. Hope you will enjoy the video.

Always like to look at this fascinating layout.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks for that, Hollpoll

A good recommendation Stuart Leader Locomotive , the APT as you say has such a big overhang , have noted a lot that bought them had problems on there layouts and had to change a few part of the tracks to accommodate these , I personally am not a fan of them so after all the problems they can cause just glad i did not buy one , saying that though it does look well on your layout.....

Nice.
Runs smoothly.
Certainly has a big overhang.
Doesn't really blend into the rest of the layout though.
A high speed train running beside an old steam engine pulling what looked like WW1 tanks?
So be it... All of our layouts are like that at some point... 👍

I've always stressed that whilst my layout is mainly Southern Railway/Region sometimes I go off topic and buy and run rolling stock that appeals to me ! I admire people such as my previous video on the gentleman that runs his layout based on the GWR in 1930, but that's not for me. I appreciate you watching the video and commenting, its appreciated, Hollpoll

APT was impressive, but the black BR streamlined Duchess got a wow from me! (City of Lancaster?)

[@hollpoll]

Its City of Glasgow was upgraded from LMS numbering to BR , thanks for watching, Hollpoll

I’m sure the commuters at Angeltown East got a surprise when the APT turned up instead of the usual Hornby 2BIL set! That’s a fine model from Rapido!

Thanks Andrew

The APT is nice, but I prefer Mr. BR Blue & Grey HST.
