    I ordered a set in 3 car units and looking forward to seeing them coming. It will be fabulous to hear the diesel generator purring when the cars are ready for the circuit boards

    I purchased one of these and it is a nice model. The one thing Rapido missed is that by 1965, all of the cars is the classes the model represents had the reporting marks changed to SFRP. This is easily corrected with Microscale decals.

    Thanks! I genuinely hope he don't ever have to say they "half assed" a model from 2023 onwards, I'm so pleasantly surprised with all that's been coming out in the last couple of years.

    I hope you won't mind taking a stab at this query. I watched your weathering of a 90's MRC F-7 Santa Fe warbonnet diesel converted to freight use after a long life and then relegated to Super "C" service. I watched with interest the airbrushing , but your sped up the process way too much for me. If I paid the $75 a month could I have access to videos like this that aren't all sped up. I want to see your artistry so I can learn better. Thanks, Bob

    Bob, Absolutely. I'd be happy to make an airbrushing tutorial for you through the Patreon $75 level! Depending on technology and such, I could even do it live so you could ask questions in real time. If you join up, shoot me a message on there and we'll arrange a time/day for a tutorial. Thanks for reaching out!

    What is the recommended radius? Will the cars go through 18 inch? I checked the Rapido website but couldn't find any info.
