Thanks for dipping into n gauge. Love this scale, and both these class 28's and conflat models are a fine addition to it. Very comprehensive and enjoyable review. I really hope you do more n gauge. Thanks again!
The other famous Co-Bo locomotive is Japan National Railways DE10. Japan basically standardized to 2 diesel locomotive models - the larger DD51 and the smaller DE10. The DD51 is the mainline locomotive. The DE10 was used for everything else, from shunting to branch line traffic and light freight trains. 708 units built and over 100 still in service.
I bought the loco last week and was very impressed so today i bought a couple of the wagons and they really are superb.If they keep this up,the big boys will have to up their game.
A very nice rendition of the Class 28 from Rapido, it does "look right" noting the additional detail such as wire handrails. the price is noteworthy, around 75% of many diesels from the Graham Farish range. Optional factory-fitted sound means GF now have a noteworthy competitor in the N-gauge arena
Purchased my class 28 and class 40 n gauge rapido trains from model railways direct of Portishead. Happy to report both run superbly and great addition to my n gauge industrial based layout. Enjoy your channel Jen...keep going.
Hello Jenny Well for a first review in N gauge I approve (as James Petts would say, lol), please do try and do more in this scale, I know us N gaugers aren't as big a market as OO etc but there are quite a lot of us who like your channel. I have 2 of these CoBo's in the post right now and a few packs of the Conflats too, although I also pre-ordered the Departmental one and a BR Blue one as well (I got carried away when they were first announced, lol). Thanks for a great review, maybe one day either you or Zoe wil get an N gauge layout of some sort going (I can but wish, lol) thanks again, 😀👍
awsome thank you , i brought that train from Rapido a few years ago.. its in the post as we speak !! that was an awesome review more N !!! By the looks of it it's as good as Kato N ... Farish etc have all gone down hill .... and prices up hill... if this looks as good as it should be , i cant wait !!
Great review.. and so glad you are showing the current excellent standard of N gauge especially for your OO viewers. I have some of Rapidos N Scale Canadian National passenger cars and they are exquisite
Wonderloaf was a popular brand of sliced bread alongside Mother's Pride and Sunblest. In the USA and Canada Fairbanks Morse offered their C-liner locos for passenger service with a 4 wheel and 6 wheel bogie (actually a B-A1A). A shame Crossley never mastered two stroke as it is popular overseas as with the Canadian-built Class 66s. It is a nice loco,
FINALLY a video on the 28. Thank you so much. I pre-ordered mine, but due to DHL being rubbish it's stuck in limbo at least until January. At least I have an opportunity to see it in action like this
Hi Jenny a great review of the class 28 and it seems a good loco and I've four on order and let's hope repido product more diesels,and its great to see you are reviewing n gauge as well now,and a merry Christmas to you and Zoe
Thanks Jenny, impressive knowledge of the internal combustion engine🙂 It's ironic isn't it that two stroke diesels are commonplace now with the various EMD installations in Class 66, 57 etc? I popped into Malcs Models today to look at the Class 28 (and Conflat wagons) and was very impressed indeed! I sold up my 00 stuff a couple of years ago due to space limitations and I've been thinking of getting back into N gauge. The quality of models has come on incredibly since my first dabble in the scale about twenty years ago. The Rapido 28 might just be the catalyst I need.
Have ti admit the manufacturers on N scale rolling stock have improved the quality abd detail of models. When I first saw N Scale they looked very toy like with "detail" pressed/moulded into the model.
Just to keep you right large 2 stroke diesel engines use a roots blower ( supercharger) to scavenge the exhaust gas and provide the inlet air. The crankcase is too large for the underside of the pistons to provide the necessary vacuum and pressure.
@@JenniferEKirk I wondered if you had an engineering background, from watching some of your videos. I am a retired BR WR mechanical fitter. Enjoy all your reviews and how too presentations. Not really into live streams sorry. Became interested in model railways again in October with Hornby's TT:120 announcement. Haven't had anything layout wise since the mid 1960's, with Triang and then Triang Hornby. That little N gauge CO-Bo looked amazing, but too small a scale for my eyesight and huge hands LOL.
Fyi 'Wonderloaf' was the name of the brand leading sliced bread in the late 50's/60's. It was the only pre-sliced loaf in Britain for many years until the arrival of Mothers' Pride in the mid-60's
The ConDor trains when being worked with Co-Bo's ALWAYS ran with the Bo end leading. If running as a pair, they would be coupled Co end to Co end ... if running singly, they would go north driving from the Bo end and then turned at Glasgow for the return trip.
By the time the Co-Bo's had their windscreens modified to flat rather than wraparound, they weren't working the ConDor anymore. However, in this scale, the difference will be hardly noticeable, especially with the dark green livery.
17:52 I hope non traction tyred axles are available. I don't run anything with traction tyres. Totally unneccesary and create more problems than they "don't" solve.

The Canadian C-Liners were great (and there were B-B ones too). There are also the EMD FL9s that were B-A1A
@@grumbeast totally agree! I've a few n gauge Canadian Pacific c-liners on my layout!
Ha! I have a few CN ones (but the B-B variety)
Great video lovely loco well done Rapido .The wagon was worked between Hendon and Gushetfauld in Glasgow.
Excellent video well done thanks
Brilliant video ☺️😀🙂

Hi Jenny, fantastic review lots of interesting stuff, great to see y7ou do something in N. Have a great Xmas
i love the n gauge layout.
Looks great
I’ll definitely buy if they make D5702!
Kernow Model Rail Centre do actually sell an exclusive D5702! I'd get it quickly before they are gone...
Thank you for letting me know!

Ah that makes sense. When I did my mechanical engineering training we must have only dealt with small petrol engines.

Which 08 shunter is better the Hornby or Bachmann I don't know which to get which do you think I should get
Hi Jennifer have you changed your name ?
Nope
@@JenniferEKirk it sounded like you introduced yourself as Jessica lol. Great review lots of detail.
