Not trying to "embrasser leur derrière” for the French Canadians or “Kiss eu gwaelod” For the Welsh Canadians but…… Personally I have enjoyed the coverage so far from both Rapido and RMweb I like the relaxed, non-fussy crazy approach, they have even mentioned rivet counting in an enjoyable way which they would not have been able to convey in a written article or at a sit down, hands glued to the table type interview. Yes the sound does die in the second section but can be rectified by…. erm… turning it up… it did come across as an informal video taken on the day which I feel suits the Rapido/RMWeb style. I'm sure one of the things mentioned when BRM took over RMWeb was that things wouldn't change and personally have seen more of an influence in BRM By RMWeb than of BRM on RMweb. If this is the way forward for Rapido, RMweb and BRM then it is good for the future of model railway, I’m sure if some Xbox/PS4 Kid was to browse YouTube and come across the video he may stop, look and like the crazy Canadian guy enthusing about a cool looking train and his / her perception of Railway Modellers/Modelling changes for the better then that’s great. Also from a personal point I feel more comfortable as a modeller with this approach of openness and engagement to give a sense of involvement with the final product. The world is changing….. choice is good …. Involved choice is better….

Does anyone know the overall length the model will be for the 4 car set? Just so I can start thinking about siding lengths. Thanks in advance. Steve

Very interesting that alot of people seem to be thinking of a new layout to accommodate the APT-E so its good news all round for the hobby in general.

Just got approval from SWMBO to order the Sound version. For what you get compared to single sound loco it looks a bargain. Now I have until its released to work on her to build a layout to run it on. look forward to more humorous updates from Rapido.
