@@Marco-xz9sc£300 not $300. Could be Canadian dollars, I live in Canada and I have an analog Jones Goods on order for $360, our dollar is VERY bad at the moment…
@@Marco-xz9sc yeah it makes modelling British stuff annoying over here due to the difference in dollar. Really if your into steam though the British stuff is cheaper, Rapido Canada just released a 4-6-0 over here and the DC version is $524 while the DCC Sound Version is $650!!! There aren’t many steam locos available in North America, and the ones that are cost a fortune…
I am hoping the DC version makes it to my local full service hobby shop where i put a long standing order in for one. Specifically at Branchline of Croydon in suburban Melbourne Australia.
Rapido is rubbish ive had to send my sound fitted ncb 15xx back 5 times for various reasons and failures its not qorth it ive had 5 models and 4 out of 5 have been crap
I think the 15xx might be an outlier in their range. Haven't heard many issues with any of their other powered models. Their rolling stock is also very good.
Great so the peeps that got the original batch have models devalued with all these new sounds etc. KR did it with the GT3 and now Rapido arec at it, thanks
The models have not devalued other than by being an earlier version. No one said there would never be any more. If you are complaining about the loss of the insane prices charged on the second hand web site just before the new batch was announced, that is just a risk of supply and demand. The manufacturers are not there to make profits for you through scarcity.
@@doge_sevens Quite right. there are still folk offering the Bachmann collector’s club S&DJR 1P for over £300. If that’s is how you like your hobby, sell while you can.
For nearly $600 I just couldn't justify buying the sound-fitted version. But damn this makes me almost regret not doing so.
Where is it $600, it should be somewhere in the $300 range

It sounds fantastic and looks fantastic, well done Rapido for another quality model, mines on order from Rails.
Great way to start the day ^^ The Stirling is looking great and sounding great too
y'all make beautiful engines I personally hope to see you guys make some models on Planet, Rocket and other extremely old engines

Beautiful model! 👍🏻
This is a fantastic model sounds great good work Rapido models will be very popular
Thank you!
Got mine on order from the NRM Shildon. Looking forward to running iy.
its a lovely model that and sounds great
Lovely sounds good work Rapido Trains UK👍 1:47
Will you be selling the sound decoders separately? I have a DC-ready version on order from Locomotion but kind of wishing I'd ordered one with sound.
Yes that's right, the sound decoders will be available from here:
rapidotrains.co.uk/sound-decoders/
@@RapidoTrainsUK Brilliant. Thank you!
Was just gonna ask about this, but my question has been answered lol
When are the Jones goods being delivered? The DC version must be ready to be released to the masses by now?
Look at the delivery schedule on the Rapido website, Q4 2024 is the current delivery timescale.
will the DCC sound version still run on Anolog, and will the sounds still work?
The DCC sound version will make chuffing noises on analogue control.
Very nice, like ...
Thank you! Cheers!
Is that engine still available for purchase
Yes.
@RapidoTrainsUK that's good to know since I'll be hoping to get one for my birthday and when I do I'm going to do a review on it
For some reason I thought this was out in 2025 😮
I think it would sound better if they didn't use a cell phone speaker other than that I love the model.
How come every other video shows this as a darker green, not as nice as the one here?
Nice- now make it in N scale!
Why ?
@@tonywright8294 interesting question.
Will Emilys coaches work with this?
All very well but without the visual effects doesn't seem right, think I d rather have just them!!🧐
What scale is this model ?
oo gauge / 1:76 scale
@@terrier_productions beautiful, detailed model...I thought it was bigger scale...
Expensive, but hey, at least it looks like it should be
Looks like Emily from Thomas.
Maybe it's the video but the sound is terrible. No bass.
sounded tinny and not that good
@@railthefox1857 I agree, it needs a new speaker! I replaced the one in my original release and it’s much better!
However that could also be down to the way it was recorded, likely on a phone

You've had experience with one of their models. Yes returning it 5 times is pretty bad, but that doesn't represent the entire range.
