GMKAT7 Posted Monday at 17:45 Share Posted Monday at 17:45 Good evening Rapido Andy, Is the frothing over now or do we carry on until Rapidoex? If the latter, I vote for: 1. The once teased 10xx Hawksworth County. 2. The also slightly teased U/U1. Ever greedy, are there announcements likely over that weekend please? 😂 Cheers, Nigel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattR Posted Monday at 18:24 Share Posted Monday at 18:24 Just thinking again how good an L&Y Class 27 would be -- 490 built beginning in 1889, many stayed in service for at least 60 years including five that saw 70+ years of work before final withdrawals in 1962. Despite the LMS grouping, they were the main freight hauler of many ex-L&YR sheds straight through to Nationalization, after which many were re-allocated across the LMR. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

217 RIVER FLESK Posted Monday at 20:29 Share Posted Monday at 20:29 So for a bit of froth overdrive how about Rapido producing: 1 A Crane Tank 2 One of the UK 0-4-0 + 0-4-0 Garratts 3 One of the later style steam Sentinels That'll do for starters 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted Tuesday at 04:58 RMweb Gold Share Posted Tuesday at 04:58 Rapido hasn't yet tackled any NPCCS, a Thompson BGZ or a dimensionally correct Stove R with a sensible chassis would be nice. 3 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's already been a clue of sorts. The original challenge was to predict the contents of "three announcements". So far, we've had two wagons announced. But then we've just been told that there are still "two days of announcements" to come. Which means we've only had one announcement so far, even though there were two models announced. From which we can deduce that a single announcement can be multiple models, in which case there could be several forthcoming models yet to be announced. Now, if I was Rapido's marketing director, and we'd decided to do a sequence of announcements rather than one big one, I'd want to build up to the headliner at the last announcement. So I reckon we could well be in for a loco as number three, and either more wagons or possibly coaches at number two. That being the case, and having also been told that we're allowed two guesses (I used my first guess earlier on in the thread), I'm going to go a bit left field with my second guess and suggest some GNR coaches that would be suitable for the Stirling Single. The Hattons and Hornby generics have both sold like hot cakes, and I reckon there's a market for some accurate pre-grouping coaching stock as well, particularly anything which had a lengthy in-service life. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted Tuesday at 08:38 RMweb Gold Share Posted Tuesday at 08:38 OK, you were warned - - a 2021 pannier - another 2021 pannier - if you don't like the above two suggestions, why not try a 2021 class pannier? Many thanks. 3 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMKAT7 Posted Tuesday at 12:32 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:32 Good afternoon folks, To follow up Captain Kernow's suggestion, how about both saddle tank and pannier tank versions of the 2021 class? Would cover pre-grouping up to nationalisation (post -1948) liveries and suit many of the existing Rapido wagons already available. Cheers, Nigel. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Model Railway Guy Posted Tuesday at 13:49 Share Posted Tuesday at 13:49 Shall we increase the froth level a little bit? I recently interviewed @rapidoandy about the new announcements and while that video is obviously yet to be released, there is a little clip of it at the end of this video: I wonder if anyone can correctly guess what we're talking about 🤔 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapido staff rapidoandy Posted Tuesday at 16:28 Author Rapido staff Share Posted Tuesday at 16:28 Well I mean it could be a loco, a coach, wagons, or something off the wall and an entry into the world of scenics? You don’t have long to wait - the next bit is coming at mid-day tomorrow! Exciting!!! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted Tuesday at 18:45 RMweb Gold Share Posted Tuesday at 18:45 Having seen the latest carp offering from Rail's/ Dapol using the 6 wheel milk tanker to carry James May gin , I'm hoping to see a 21st Century standard all singing and dancing new model from Rapido soon. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JIJ Posted Tuesday at 18:49 RMweb Gold Share Posted Tuesday at 18:49 I'm always going to wishlist an Ilfracombe Goods, and as I'm two years into scratchbuilding one... For the second, I'm surprised that noone has released a short wheelbase outside frame GWR Toad as seen on the Bishops Castle, and one of Colonel Stephens' railways. For scenics, (and following the light railway theme) Tenterden Town Signal Box would make a beautiful model, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so!
