rogerzilla Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 "Alex" looks good with the lining on the wheels. I wondered if Rapido could make a "Jessie" as seen at the SVR autumn gala, but Jessie is a larger Hunslet still: 18" cylinders. Pre-war, so not an "Austerity", but rather similar. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davknigh Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I gather that the shipment of Hunslets has been held up due to a shortage of DCC chips. Is it fair to assume that the non-DCC models will be held up as well and is there any update on this issue, please? Cheers, David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MrTea Posted November 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 27, 2022 Has anyone who’s been at Warley this weekend got any photos of these if there are any samples on the Rapido stand? Thanks in advance! Ian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Himsworth Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Just one of the running one, but it's not the best either: It was great to see the Hunslet and the 15xx running in the flesh! I'm very much looking forward to being able to do the same at home... 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerzilla Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Do these have coreless motors, does anyone know? I have a Gaugemaster HF2 track cleaner. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Roger, The Hunslets do have coreless motors, so we recommend not using high frequency track cleaners with them. A sample Hunslet does run happily on my layout which uses a HF1, but it might have long term implications so I'm going to install a DPDT bypass switch on my layout for using these and various kitbuilt locos with coreless motors. Hope that helps, Tom 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerzilla Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Thanks - the HF2 is really to improve slow running as I clean the track before every session. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted January 21, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2023 Just paid for mine (Holly Bank No.3) 🙂 I'm hoping to be able to fit a sound decoder at a later date, I just couldn't afford it this time. Will the decoder/project be available separately at some point in the future, or will I have to find an aftermarket third party project? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapidoandy Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 The Hardy’s Hobbies exclusive is also ready to go but needs to go to them first so may be a couple of week. We will have a stock of decoders with our project on in the future - keep an eye on the website for that I’m the future! Andy 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAYTHEROCK Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Doubly delighted with my red one, arrived this morning - lovely little model, my second Rapido loco. Double delighted because I was unaware it was already named Alex, one of my two remaining grandsons not to have a loco named for him. Plates already on order for James will now be held over for Dapol's Hawthorn Leslie 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
