Rapido HO Scale Alco PA/PB 1&2

Watch as Rapido Bill reacts to an "intruder" on his O&W layout!

Then, once he gets over it, join him for a in-depth review of our latest operating sample and all of its details and features!

Picked up a Rapido SP PA unit and it doesn’t disappoint one bit, just an incredible model and was worth the $300 (with Loksound5 version) I paid for it. I tip my hat to everyone who made this happen, I know it wasn’t easy. Thanks again.

Now looking forward in a future video between a showdown on the Kingston Sub between Jason and his TurboTrain and Jordan and his Turboliner...

Nice. I love the unique details on the SP ALCO PAs like some of their F-units had also.

[amtraklover]

I never thought I'd see an SP Alco PA/PB unit outside of brass but you guys made it a reality.

Definitely gonna get the Daylight version

[realwildman]

Well, you have gone and done it! You have managed to "make" me pre-order my first Rapido products!

[JBS]

Bill, I guess you just have to imagine the O&W had PAs. Will the D&H PAs have the changes made when they were rebuilt into PA4s with the 251 and whatnot? Love what you guys have done with this!

0:39 y’know, i’m not normally that big of a fan for Camelbacks, but that one looks really nice!

I love the sound of the Alco. They are the locomotive Harley.

[James-Railyard]

They look beautiful. Might pick up a silent set from trainworld in the daylight and if there are any made a freedom train when I get them.

[TonyFleetwood]

post collision, all there was to be found was a wooten fire box and a radiator fan from a PA...
Will the American Freedom Train have cars come out later on down the road? This train was guarded by U.S. Marines at all times, and as one I feel I need this train ( as a whole )

Such gorgeous work! Smooth power, great detailing, sturdy looking, excellent paint. An engine anyone would love to own.





So, who makes that good looking O&W U-1? ;v) :vD

Those PA's do indeed look great! I'd snatch up a set, but there were none on the Milwaukee Road. :v(

[canadianbehaviour]

Rapido back at it again with the content! Keep it up fellas, can't wait for the Ottawa Central RS-18u's to drop in the winter!

[kittycraft]

Excited to see the PA's eventual release, especially the D&H variants. Also nice to see Bill's layout, don't see much of NYOW representation in HO scale besides some rolling stock and the FT/F3s 😉

1:00 You really needed an "I Love Toy Trains" style "Oh No!" sound at the end of that sequence. But great looking model!

Will the DC silent versions have complete lighting effects? Headlight, Mars light, reverse light, ground lights? I understand that due to lack of DCC I would not be able to operate each specifically but I would like to know if they'd operate at all. I'm deaf in my left ear so sound is not so crucial but I certainly enjoy complete lighting effects! Thanks, David 😷 in Chicago 🇺🇸 - Thanks Jason for your response! Appreciate you telling me what works for a DC Silent versions. It's about what I would expect as I stated above. You mentioned that the model will have working headlights - does this mean the Mars light works? That's one of the reasons I'vr purchase Walthers units over others - even with DC only Walthers units Mars lights function. I'm hoping your DC Silent will too. Thanks for offering both types of models.

[fafnir]

Ah, damn. No Erie on this run. These still look sick, though! Hope I get to pick up a couple of these in the future!

[iflyrattraps]

Those look great! I can't wait for the Santa Fe. So, will they be shipping with ESU or TCS? While I'd prefer ESU, I was under the impression they would ship with new TCS decoders.

[chrislongbeard]

Hopefully I'll get the Pennsy units. The old Blue box ones I repowered & detailed in the 90s are getting old.

[lightningsaviation]

Will yall be doing the Southern railway PA-2s if when yall do a second run

[ohiovalleyrailfan]

I like it, but when are we gonna see a 4316 (and other E8) reveal trailer?
