✅ About jlwii2000:
When I started my channel I did not choose a catchy name because I did not think that I would be a major model railroading video source one day, so I apologize for the strange name. My channel has a variety of info about Model Railroading in many scales, primarily HO scale. I try to respond to everyone's questions to help them along with their journey. Overall, I hope my relaxed yet descriptive approach to modeling will assist those new and old in this great hobby. - James

Holy buckets! The detail is off the charts! 😳😳😳❤️
great review .
I have some of their older passenger cars for the Norfolk and Western , the interior have insane detail , the interior doors have knobs on them ,the toilets have flush handles.
the only time that you can see this is when you take the car apart to change the batteries,
One small problem I had on both of mine was the misalignment of the Budd brake disc which caused rubbing on the axle and drag on the car. Because this assembly is glued in place there was no 'adjusting' it. I had hoped to remove them and ream the opening larger for more axle clearance. The brake disc is a clever detail but I chose to remove them as they hampered smooth running.
One very MINOR nitpick would be that I'd like to see the signboards for the car name sit more flush with the side of the fluting. On the actual cars they didn't quite protrude away from the fluting as much as the models depict.
Still, great cars and I sure hope to see more. An New York Central 'Brook' series bedroom-lounge-observation would be nice!
I did a review on them when they came out. I have phase lll Loch Leven. Man, I've all but replaced much of my passenger equipment with Rapido passenger cars! Not only that, they have an exuberant amount of details, they don't derail!
Since I'm modeling the Amtrak San Francisco Zephyr, it appears very few Rapido passenger cars represent those used on the real train, which I road twice in the 70's. So I've resorted to Walthers cars representing former Santa Fe, UP and other roads that got painted to Amtrak schemes. That said, Rapdo is coming out with the SP 3/4 dome car which did run on the San Francisco Zephyr.
BTW, what is your minimum curve radius?
@@riogrande5761 24 inch.
The detail is AWESOME, especially the underbody detail. And the cars are beautiful. I tip my hat to Rapido. 🎩
good video there brother james i like that work bench and nice looking passager car did you get the wand to turn the light?? well good video Mr James thank for sharing robert
I have a few of these cars and they are outstanding.
Awesome details
Hi James & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks James & Friends Randy
James, I liked this review. I have pretty old Rapido C&NW cars, and they are not very good. And I have more BLI California Zephyr cars than existed in real life. And these BLI cars are real rubbish. The intention was good I think, but the end result of the lamination process used to construct them was a complete mess. Warped sides, bowed chassis, you name it. It takes hours to fix a single car. So Rapido is to be encouraged with cars at this level. At least they are trying.
I'm on the fence about this model. Apparently these slumber coaches did run on the Amtrak San Francisco Zephyr but only to Denver and not between Denver and Sacramento.
Can Rapido make some SP Daylight cars? Got the GS-4 from BLI but there is no rolling stock!
Can they run on 22inch S curve no straight piece in middle just a S curve
I don't think that would work. They said 22 would require modifying trucks or underframe. The S curve would make it even more of an issue. Recommended minimum without modifications is 24.
Many match Rapido on price, but none match them on detail, quality and customer service. I actually think these are a relative bargain compared to all the other half hearted releases at this price point from other manufacturers. . .
they are pretty nice!
