Surely we ought to be having a steamroller - with or without 'driving chain' (sic) before then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I already have one on order can I ask what happened about figures - I seem to recall that the were going to be in the original train pack, but then got dropped from that - is there going to be a separate figure pack?

Someone was paying attention! Now corrected. The figures are in the deluxe train pack. There was a bit of back and forth before but they are going to be in the DCC sound pack.

5Dublo2 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Hmm looks like there is an OB party later this year https://www.route-one.net/news/bedford-ob-85th-anniversary-gathering-among-wythall-2024-dates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium it's-er Posted May 2 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 2 Rapido seem to have gone distinctly quiet about the Bedford OB. And so apparently has everyone else - we’ve only had one comment, from 5Dublo2, in a whole year! Newsletter 43 dated 19 April says the OBs are about 3 weeks behind the Fleetlines, which suggests factory completion in early June. It would be nice to see photos of decorated samples in the next newsletter ….. please! John S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pint of Adnams Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Transferred my pre-order from Hattons to Rails (I hope), but the latter has a rather indefinite means of booking it. Real reason for this post is today I looked for a potential delivery date as we're going away and don't want to miss the mail from Rails requesting payment (not taking a phone with me to get ripped off with roaming charges). Rapido site is most unhelpful in that the OB fails to rate a mention in the production schedule, on the dedicated product page, and any newsletter beyond April - the last one available on the website. An update would be much appreciated, please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido staff RapidoCorbs Posted June 21 Rapido staff Share Posted June 21 They're currently on the boat, it's likely that the payment emails will be sent out in the first 2 weeks of August. 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scots region Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I was stunned when I realised how small the extra lights are. It's a beautiful model, though I'm really glad the Titfield model never had the tail lights, far too small to even think about. I wonder though if you could just get away with little paint dots.

RMweb Premium it's-er Posted Tuesday at 14:11 RMweb Premium Share Posted Tuesday at 14:11 Can any of us post their own photos of Rapido’s Bedford OB bus, please? I’d be interested to see them ‘working’ on folks’ railways, and see how they look in situ. John Storey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
