RAPIDO UK Reveal NEW "Caledonia" Fireless Model in 00 Gauge - FIRST FOOTAGE!

Описание: RADPIO UK reveal their latest 00 gauge model - the Andrew Barclay "Caledonia" 0-4-0 Fireless locomotive!

Now available to Pre-Order! More information here: https://rapidotrains.co.uk/caledonia-...

Recently Rapido were kind enough to invite me down to their UK headquarters to see everything they've been working on and they were kind enough to give me early access to their latest announcement - the Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 Caledonia Fireless Locomotives!

Used in industrial settings where having a naked flame or sparks would cause an issue, fireless locomotives don't have a lot of the traditional features we usually expect from a steam engine. Instead of a boiler they feature a reservoir filled with high pressure steam and boiling water that gives an operating time of around four hours.

This latest loco from Rapido UK will come in 10 different liveries, feature the new E24 decoder socket and will also come with a pre-fitted speaker. There won't be any chimney variants or firebox flicker... for obvious reasons!

Thanks again to Rapido UK for letting me get up close and personal with the initial 3D printed samples and stay tuned for a much longer update featuring more Rapido projects in the near future.

Thanks for watching 😃
