Yes, everything that hadn't yet been sent out was part of the recall. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3489gibson Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 6 hours ago, OliverBytham said: Well that was a very pleasant surprise this morning, apart from a very confused exchange with the postman, insisting it couldn't be a package for me as I'd adamantly not ordered anything recently! Thanks very much indeed Rapido. Hope the sponge tiling for the lorry unloading bay floor is coming along nicely... This was my thought when I got home this evening. Walked in to see a package on the table, cogs started whirring, then i saw the Rapido label on the front! One thing I have noticed when placing it on powered track, is that the lights illuminate immediately. I can only assume that the reed switch resets to default after each use, resulting in the lights being on when placed on track and, obviously, turn off when removed. The wand still does it's job though. Nathan... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this how it's supposed to work? There is also a quiet buzzing noise when the lights are on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre Grouping fan Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Mine returned yesterday as well. Very professionally handled I think. They have even refitted a bit that fell off one of the bogies when I originally opened the model which I had taped to the plastic tray so it didn't get lost! Like a couple of others, noticed when testing if I turn the lights off with the wand and then remove track power and reapply it the circuit resets and the lights turn on again.

Matabiau Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 For overseas customers Rapido are proposing a DIY kit including a nifty little tool for getting inside your model for replacing the lighting bar. This seems preferable to posting the model back to the UK with all of the risks that involves. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
