  • At long last, we present the production model of our very limited Amtrak EMD E8 #4316! In celebration of Amtrak's 50th anniversary, we've given this locomotive the royal treatment, from the exquisite detailing to the fancy-schmancy wooden box. Join Jordan for an in-depth unboxing and overview of this extra-special release!
    We are completely sold out at Rapido, so check with your preferred dealer or hobby shop for possible availability if you missed out on the preorder.
    To order E8s in other schemes, please visit our website:

    Just got my 4316 in the mail last week, and I love it. All the little additions you put into this thing truly make the three year wait worth it. Pat yourselves on the back with this one- you nailed it.

    I want one. You can’t beat a covered wagon. E8’s are a very nice looking locomotive too bad it didn’t have the double headlight which means one of them would’ve been a Mars light that would’ve been so cool but I know you gotta do prototypical.

    • @James-Railyard
      @James-Railyard ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I’ve taken the shell off, it does have the provisions for a MARS light but since it wasn’t on the prototype then it won’t be on this unit.

    I got mine and I absolutely love how it looks and the look of the box. The only part I nock points off for is the sound. I wish they could’ve been offered as a silent model. The speakers and sound decoder will be replaced with superior offerings when available to do so.

    This is the must-get Amtrak locomotive for the year, no better way to put it. It would've been cool if just for the 4316 and Amtrak units if functions 21-24 were Amtrak related sounds.

    I was debating whether to leave mine unopened and treat it as a collectors item. But I just checked a major retailer and the Loco is in stock now. So if anyone that missed the initial preorder you can still get one. I guess Amtrak E8 #4316 is going to be rolling under the Christmas tree in a couple months. Now I need to get some passenger cars!! Good job guys.

    One thing I will say about this is it runs very well. Our layout is very demanding and has some steep grades and difficult vertical curves, and it took all of them like a champ.

    Took a while from announcing/preorders to delivery. Thanks to covid times we live in I assume. But the customers that preordered it are more then happy with them. Should have ordered a extra one for myself. Hope my distributor has a extra one when I do my weekly order.

    • @rapidotrains
      @rapidotrains  ปีที่แล้ว

      Some railroads had the portholes removed on their E8 diesels, often in during overhaul in the late 60s and early 70s. This was likely to save on maintenance costs.
