I was wondering if anyone here has purchased one of the new Rapido GMD-1s. Most of all one with the six wheel trucks. What do you think of it and how does it run? I am thinking of getting one or two in the green and yellow scheme ( 1950s ). I searched the web for info as the red & black ones are out but did not find much info.
I found a couple still avaliable for pre-order at Canadian Express Line and did not want to order until I had an idea if they were a good locomotive before a slap my money down.
Wayne I just recieved my 6 axle GMD-1 last week and I am really impressed with the locomotive. It is the first Rapido and first Loksound equiped locomotive I have bought. It has great slow speed and runs smoothly right out of the box. The detail is great and it seems to track well through switches and curves. Can’t wait to get the time to break it in.
The Loksound sounds are really nice especially the horn. This is one well thought out engine, it shows that Jason and his team put a lot of effort in getting this engine right. Well Done Rapido!
