Stunning model. I think - in real life - the windows in the roof would be termed 'etched'.

like old pub windows would often have describing the functions of the different rooms inside, like Smoke Room or Lounge Bar. You now acheive a similar effect using printed sticky film.

Stunning coaches, ive got version 2 of it, the detail is amazing. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time when rapido were at the nrm looking at the actual coach and managed to get a tour inside with the team doing the scanning of it.

Gorgeous model! Not a bit surprised in the level of detail coming from Rapido.

Jenny, great review. So much so, I wanted one. I searched everywhere, no one has one 😭

Hi Jenny, great review of a most unusual prototype, very well made and exquisitely detailed. I follow American models as well as ours here and Repido are renown for including details even if you can't see it, just because it's there, so why wouldn't you. Great model all the same. Best regards Dave.

A very nice and well-finished coach. I do need to get one for my layout as it would not be complete without one. Thank you for the very good review. I am trying to make my own version of battery coach lighting which will work out a lot cheaper than buying ready-made ones. I just need to find Latching Reed Switches and then they can be fitted.

Hi Jenny, It is quite common for Rapido to have that level of detail, including the toilet seats! But I don't think they can get them to function - yet! My Roco carriages often have detail that you only find once you open them up, including a machine room underneath the floor of the observation car. Rapido used to do the lighting with batteries.

Beautiful coach Jennifer. Could you re-enact mallards 126mph run on wear yard please?

Would be really cool if they had a little Bluetooth unit which recorded the scale speed of the carriage, recorded distance etc.

Is the roof of Dynamometer Car removable on the latest release? Rapido Trains UK should have installed LED strips with numerous illuminated elements so all the clerestory windows are uniformly lighted. Performance lighting needs to be of greater priority than spending so much effort to detail undercarriage items which no one sees when the car is running on the rails.

A shame that 9th wheel is static. The "spots" could be painted out to give the impression though. A 1940's / 50's Royal Train rake would be a good call for Rapido.

Fab model but it’s the worlds most expensive coach, £150 each

Rapido has the same level of detail with the American outline rolling stock as well.

Superb model and a great review - but for the love of god when you show them off a simple light box would be much better than that turntable that jerks around like a lima class 08 with a rusty pancake ;)

I believe they also carried accelerometers to measure vertical accelerations, and sway on the ride. Interesting vehicles. I think the paint finish was known as graining and done with a special varnish and very high quality brushes. House windows used to be done the same.
