The “Royal” Rapido Factory Update
In this video, we join those crazy chaps over Rapido trains for their latest update from the Rapido Trains LRC factory in China. Bill Schneider takes you through the workshop as the HO scale Royal Hudsons are nearing completion. Also an update on the N scale GMD-1 and the CN Tempo! Look out for what appears we think is an N gauge GWR tank steam locomotive being drawn up by one of the designers. Rapido, of course, are behind such UK models as Model Rail Steam Tram, APT-E, Sterling Single, Realtrack class 156, Revolution Trains N gauge wagons & much much more.
Really enjoy seeing the manufacturing process, how those youngsters do that really tiny component work without specs wow, and the first loco creeping along so slowly must have a fantastic motor/gearbox
Rapido has certainly raised the benchmark & are forcing the major UK manufacturers to up their game. Their attention to detail is second to non.
