Hope people had a bit of a laugh at the beginning of the vid, it was certainly fun to do something with a bit of humour! Thanks for the positive feedback too!

Fantastic collab between you & Rapido Trains. Nobody better could have previewed this project with your authority on London Transport & genuine enthusiasm for the hobby.

you lucky lucky boy, how did you pull this off, you never cease to amaze me, well done eric...............tony

Fantastic video good to see you today and appreciate the shout out 💪🏻👊🏻

I think the correct technical term is “ you little beauty”. Great video too

Very good Eric...great video. First off..I didn't know they had a wooden mock up of Met 1 like that at Amersham. Amazing. Nice running shots of the model too.All the best.

Well that's exciting! Congrats on the partnership with Rapido on this one! Edit: Almost forgot, the tube inspired clothing is awesome

excellent - loved the start...and all of it...

Looks like a great little loco. Layout is also coming along nicely 👌

Best reveal video of many years! Well done

Great video Eric, I'm not much of a London Underground fan so I didn't have a clue what you were going on about at the beginning, I was like "Am i supposed to recognise it?" but it was still hilarious though, the way you portrayed it. 🤣🤣👍

Love this! Great bit of fun and the beginning and reviewing the EP on a modellers own layout. Incredibly refreshing to see a new model introduced like this!

That looks amazing, a great setting for its 1st viewing as well. 125yrs old just that's mental. 😮

That will sell very well. Look forward to getting a couple.

Next we need even older steam locos, such as the one with condensing gear at the LT museum in Covent Garden

Great video and great layout to preview the new metropolitan 1from Rapido Trains Love the fact also I live in Harefield and the breakspere and Rickmansworth connections on your layout

Another great video Eric. Nice little loco for the collection. I am sure you are chuffed to bits with this announcement.

You're a very naughty boy! but who wouldn't have? 😂

NICE!

A nice fun video. It really looks awesome in the London Transport livery. Way out of my wheelhouse though. Rapido might pry some cash out of me for their model of the Lion loco though :) Cheers!

And that's why I didn't bother doing the CAD Eric I already knew 😅 would be interesting to see if it would pull my chesham set which is very heavy.

Nice video Eric let's hope they make some coaches to go with it

Amazing

Sponsored by Adidas & questionable acting! 😂 But seriously, well done for the first dibs and Collab mate, pleased for you! 🙂 Surprised they've not done a 14xx yet to go along with the Thunderbolt stuff.. which I am trying to convince myself NOT to order.... But I'm not winning that battle... Be safe bud !

Hi Eric, you just showed everyone else how to do a review video good job 👏 cheers Al

Great model - it deserves to do well.

I've ordered one already :)

Amazing this is great news and I am pre ordering now. Just don’t tell my missus lol

It will be L44 for me, nice vid, keep the pressure on for a Battery Loco

Hello, wonderful video. Could you do a video on your model railway collection?

So how big is your house and garden so that you can get from Ricky to Amersham and back before Dan got back from the toilet!? Looks a superb model and rarely buy new models or spend £180 but very, very tempted!!,

Can a Seuthe smoke unit be fitted for real smoke out of the chimney?

Hi Eric. When's it coming out in N gauge? Did it have trouble coupling with the grey MET wagons?

And the BAFTA goes to..... 😊

I'd buy 2 of them so me and my dad gets one each

No class 325 then 🙃
