We're holding off taking orders for now just in case we come across any nasty (or expensive) surprises during the design process that would require the RRP to go up. Please be patient with us - we know that you can’t wait to order these items! People should also take into consideration that Rapido UK had to announce this earlier than they likely wanted to after Hornby rushed out their announcement about Lion, hence why several things are still essentially in progress. * - sign up at https://rapidotrains.co.uk/newsletter/ ** - Newsletter #4 with the update with the quote above - https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Rapido-UK-News---No--4.html?soid=1101318906379&aid=g38eSrTC7BI Edited May 2, 2021 by mdvle 5 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJ42 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Watched the film countless times - one of my favourites alongside Will Hay's Oh Mr Porter. The Titfield collection is now certainly on my wishlist. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 There's a very nice high-definition version of the film available on Amazon Prime. Way better than the DVD version that I've enjoyed up to now. (CJL) 2 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapidoandy Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Work is progressing on various Titfield bits and pieces. Today we shared the latest CAD work for the Bedford OB on social media so I thought I would drop it here too. Enjoy! 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wainwright1 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hi Andy. As this is likely to be a deluxe version of this prototype, which has previously been produced by both EFE and Corgi Original Omnibus, will it have any special features. Like for example a posable sliding door or sliding roof section ? I would expect that there would be top range version with working lights as per the other Rapido buses. All the best Ray 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted September 26, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 26, 2021 A bit of a quandry for Rapido. Do you go for the actual type of vehicle that featured in the film or chose another less accurate prototype. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duple Bedford OBs had at least 4 different arrangements of the rear lights, rear fleetname panel, rear beading etc. If it is the Crump & Pearce version, the aficionados will balk at "their" favourite livery on the wrong rear.

Popular Post rapidoandy Posted December 15, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2021 Well the exciting news is that you can now order the first of our Titfield packs! RRP for the Deluxe Pack (with Sound fitted loco, figures and booklet) is £399.95 whilst the standard pack will be £299.95. Prices will follow for the Bedford OB which unfortunately was not quite ready in time. Work has also started on the W&U Tramcar. This is still work in progress but I think you will agree it looks superb! Happy modelling! 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSG Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 OK, that's possibly not quite as sharp an intake of breath when I saw the prices as I'd been expecting. I think I can justify that, on the basis that, well, you don't see one of those every day. Although now I have to decide whether to go for the sound fitted one or not. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relieved not to have bankrupted myself! well got the standard email,saying they have now been priced by RoS…..and I checked I have still the pre order on my list….excellent. I thought this bit of the description from Rapido was quite amusing….. ”All versions feature die-cast metal and injection moulded plastic construction, a high quality motor and mechanism, Next18 decoder socket, NEM coupler pockets and a coupler that enables it to couple to other historic coaches from other manufacturers.” 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted December 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2021 So the deluxe set you get the figures, booklet and sound for just £100 extra, that’s a reasonable deal for deluxe. I just need to add the OY when it’s ready for pre orders. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need for rubbish like that. You do like trying to troll in my view.
