Rapido Trains UK have sent us with a mammoth news update for December 2024 - providing updates on many of their forthcoming OO Gauge projects - with some due for release very soon! Alongside this we've also had some new arrivals from Rapido this month and wanted to share some special offers you might be interested in.
HR JONES GOODS 4-6-0 IN STOCK NOW
Arguably one of Rapido's hottest releases of the year arrived with us very recently and is selling through very fast! Their gorgeous Highland Railway Jones Goods (Britain's first ever 4-6-0 locomotive) has been receiving rave reviews - but if you'd like to bring one home, we'd recommend ordering soon as some have already started to sell out!
Digital Ready: £186.50 Digital Sound Fitted: £269.50
Celebrate the magic of one of Britain's most influential and classic railway films - The Titfield Thunderbolt - with Rapido's beautiful Train Packs in OO Gauge! We recently discounted both the standard and deluxe digital sound sets to bargain prices - so there's never been a better time to bring one home.
Also check out our video below to see the models in action, alongside clips from the film!
Also on special offer right now are Rapido's Great Eastern Railway Wisbech & Upwell Train Packs - two variations in pre & post 1919 liveries are available - now at significantly reduced prices! Each one includes a Class J70 steam tram loco and 2 x Tramcars.
Aside from these, we've also got some discounted Liverpool & Manchester Railway 'Lion' 0-4-2 locomotives available. Limited quantities remaining of each!
Rapido have advised their new batch of Stirling Single locomotives have now arrived in the UK, but are here a little later than expected. QC is underway now with the models due to arrive in stock with us during Early January! Pre-ordering is recommended to secure yours.
Following on from the Stirling Singles, we are then due to receive Rapido's newly tooled GWR B Set Coaches! These impressive newly tooled vehicles are supplied as twin sets - with various GWR and BR era packs available to pre-order. Expected late January.
Even more newly tooled rollling stock is due to follow on after these! During March 2025, Rapido will be receiving the all-new GWR Diagram N19 loco-coal wagons and Diagram O18 opens too! Pre-order yours now.
Rapido have advised that their newly tooled 'Evolution' bogie coaches will now feature user-dimmable lighting - which can be adjusted to your preference with a screwdriver.
Rapido have also advised that their all-new Andrew Barclay Fireless locomotives will now feature a stay-alive system to benefit DCC users - these will now feature an E24 decoder socket to compensate for this.
