Opening the APT-E from Rapido Trains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Pre-ordered months ago, the brand new model of the APT Experimental (APT-E) is finally here! Not only is this the first time this locomotive has ever been created in OO gauge, it also comes with DCC sound and full interior lighting to show off the perfectly detailed instrumentation panels!
There's so much to look at in this video so it's longer than usual - use the contents listing at the beginning to help you skip to the bits you want to see.
Also check out Legomanbiffo - the man behind the sounds used in this model: / legomanbiffo
If you're interested in the APT-E then visit the real thing at Locomotion - The National Railway Museum at Shildon: www.nrm.org.uk/...

in all of the years BR has existed this must have been one of the best things they did ........ does anyone agree
thumbs up if you do
+Alfie Whittaker had* existed :P
thumbs up
👍 thumbs up
Stop asking for likes.
I remember back around 1975 I saw the real thing pass by our school playing fields as we were only a mile from Wigston South junction on the mainline from St Pancras to Leicester. I think the unit also ventured to the Old Dalby Test Track quite often during its development. It was what got me into railways as a kid, and a few friends and I would spend many lunchtimes catching the Class 45's on the main Leicester to London passenger runs, Class 25's on the London brick trains, class 31's on parcels etc.
Compared to the BR Blue stuff of the time this was a taste of the future and looked impressive when we managed to see it fly by at speed from time to time.
Absolutely fabulous. The interior details look so real you expect to see one of the APT engineers checking the computer banks .
I remember seeing the APT-E at York many years ago. (Part of me says it was just one of the power cars) My 14 year old brain was blown away by the design. I wish I could have seen it in operation.
This is great I love the APT-E one of my favourite trains
this has to be the most beautiful train u ever reviewed in my opinion
Absolutely adore those gas turbine engines. No nicer noise than a turbine starting.
I WANT ONE. It is so cool. perfect sounds, such detail. Great review as always guys.
Man, that thing is BEAUTIFUL, man, I'd love to see that running with the APT project when that is finished too, that would be an INCREDIBLE sight to behold!
I have one of these ordered from NRM + one extra carriage non DCC model, found the best way to connect the coaches was to lay it on it's side on a sponge strip and pre-apply a little clock oil to the yolk connector and had no difficulty in "clicking" it all together. Then simply tip it up onto the track. Wish I had ordered two of them like I did with the Underground "S" stock and the Bachmann Blue Pullman, the price of the APT-E was a steal.
I've been waiting for this my whole life
I need to give you a big thank you because you are the reason I got into trains and I absolutely love it. in one of my essays on an influential person I wrote about you and your channel. you truly are awesome ic82 :)
Keep calm and love model trains!
what a great model , my Fathers company Dowty (Boulton Paul aerospace ) was called in late on, to try and solve problems with tilting . 4 + 1 Rover gas turbines in each power car , jet exhausts in roof !!!!! I think nose faring is removable , great Test Train interior , I just keep on noticing stuff . loving the chan😍😍nel
This makes me so excited for the N guage Pendolino they are releasing! I purchased an 11 car set with sound!
Wow the apt-e looks so amazing and so realistic.
WOW..... Excellent model and an excellent video.....
I got to sit in the front of this a Shildon with one of the guys who worked on it and designed the turbines. It was so cool
Well, they were Leyland truck gas turbines...
It's an amazing looking model, I've got a Stirling single on order and I can't wait :).
gosh this is so detailed carnet wait for the gnr single
I've been to NRM Shildon quote quite a few times. The APT E is amazing. The model is like they just shrunk the real model
The chaps at Rapido are definately a comical lot, their NA products are excellent and they are sticklers for details I believe their next UK project is the protoype HST power cars
Great model great review
ps Oh yes its still snowing in Cda today lol
You are after protection for this unit, in HO/00 the type, is made in Germany by Train-Safe and is type HO2L. They use to have a UK importer, but alas no longer, so it is now direct from Germany. These display rectangular tubes, have inlaid track, so the train drives directly into the tube, untouched by human hands. End caps hold the train in tube
Wow, can't wait for the GNR Single
I’ve signed up for the n gauge version hopefully it comes out cause this OO looks wonderful
The packaging is great just on it's own!
WOW the overhang on that nose on those corners is quite substantial. I think for a lot of layouts that is gonna be a problem.
I have never seem him more interested in a box! :D
I notice all quality locos come in those fiddly plastic containers that slide off, then pull the tab up to open the inner box, then remove the soft plastic wrapping.
50:22 "The silence was deafening." :P What a noise that thing makes! And I thought 37's and the Swindon built hydraulics were as bad with noise pollution( but this things takes the biscuit!
My new favourite train!
this train is priceless
good vid and review
I hope the gnr Stirling single is just as good
Rapido is a Canadian company, so it's nice that he's doing trains that came from a company that is based I think in Toronto, near my house
The APT-P looked way better
+Ever Free Gaming Unfortunately Rapido trains aren't cheap, well not in the US. Even starter sets are getting expensive, much less the first class overly expensive collectors stuff. I am not going to pay US $800 for any locomotive, not even a UP Big Boy.... US $80 to $160 is spending too much.... I wanted a new Hornby King class, but it isn't worth over US $200... Well, not in my book....
APTｰE 超かっこいいですよね…
先日 国際展示場の鉄道模型コンベンションの会場に １編成だけ出てました… でも先日天賞堂のD51498を買ったばかりなので我慢しましたが この動画をみると凄く欲しくなりますね…16番のAPTｰE これはゆうなれば TRYｰZを 16番で模型化したようなもの… 超楽しい…
Great presentation
Outstanding review mate, really enjoyed watching the review and seeing the APT-E in action. I wonder if Rapido Trains will now do the APT like the one at Crewe Heritage Centre in InterCity livery
12:05 *AWESOME SLOW SPEED THINGY!*
OH HELLO THERE
Such a awesome loco.
2nd radius or greater is standard on most models that aren't tank engines or small shunter diesels which can do 1st radius.
I've noticed that one or two of these that were inevitably bought for investment purposes have started to resurface on the secondary market already.
Wow just Wow! Rapido have outdone themselves Fantastic Will although this loco is not my cup of tea i'm gona pre order the Stirling single Great video Will :-D
I'm looking forward to Rapido train's Stirling single; I'll probably try and find the money to order that when it comes out.
MAN the sleeve of the Rapido Trains on that is WAY better than Hornby's
APT-E is very near to my heart as I live in Co. Durham, so I visit Locomotion at Shildon often. Perks of being a northeasterner, eh?
Stood in the cab of this
I suggest that you should visit the Wensleydale railway starting from Leeming bar.
"This has less computer memory than your washing machine..."
Will from IC82-2016
OMG only one word to say WOW
Would be nice if the real version got fired up and put onto the mainline
I’m pretty sure this is Rapido Canada’s first train that was manufactured in OO
I now want one of these!
i like the oddballs... turbotrain, aerottrain, apt-e, senator, talgo, etc. :-)
Good Job! If the APT-E was good, Why couldn't they make a whole bunch more of those instead of APT-P's. Speaking of that, are you still working on the Hornby APT? APT power car 49006 is at the Electric Railway museum in Baginton, in case you were unaware.
great video
I love this model a lot but it makes me wonder one thing. Where is the APT Project? I want to see both of them running side by side on the proper layout! Like always great video and keep on making them.
Yes I was wondering about the APT project, that would be a great thing to complete and have both APT's going around the new layout or whizzing around the conservatory !
APT-E nose
I think it swung out of the way to allow towing by locomotive
+Xantec Nope, that was the APT-P, the nose swung up over the cab window. This one had a plate under the nose which was removable for putting a bar coupling in. It was generally used for towing her around Derby RTC with a Mercedes Unimog RRV.
I love the APT-E intercity82 and could you do more train set vids plz
The final nail in the coffin of BR . . .
Cool video
I have the Original APT-P set the very first trian that Hornby built and it is not new as Horndy already maked years ago and I have it on my still Original box
Cool unit
What happened to the "Your Model Railway" and "Building a Model Railway" series?
That's not very kind... l:(
Just makes me wish i ordered one more. Although can always contact Locomotion. Although am going to get the Sterling Single and the HST Prototype though :D
amazing
Will, I've got a question for you; Do you think I should get rid of my LEGO Train to by more 00 gauge or keep the LEGO Train?
The Hornby Select has had a firmware update so you can get all the sound. Just send it to Hornby and they will do the rest.
+Ankdoeslego Why bother to do that when all you have to do is buy either the Hornby Elite controller or Elink controller. Yes, both are more expensive, but there will be future Select firmware updates, which isn't at all upgraded at home for firmware updates as both the Elite and Elink controllers. A Hornby design mistake, but the Select was never considered a professional controller, the Select was designed to be a entry level DCC controller, and therefore did not get a USB port interface for computer linkage for future firmware updates/upgrades. We are living in a digital world today, and in our digital world there will be software and firmware updates/upgrades. Even worst for Hornby presently, Hornby is no longer shipping Hornby North American transformers, not even as a separate additional order. My Canadian supplier has had to resort to a different supplier for both 1 amp and 4 amp transformers useable for the North American 110-120 volt electricity. It is as if Hornby doesn't want to sell in the US and Canada anymore...
+SeaToby11 I got mine in a set as a gift so I have no other controller to use. It will do until I can afford an Elite controller.
+Ankdoeslego One of the really annoying things it's still not compatible with most chips just Hornby ones
Hi will again if u do anymore vids on your ngauge layout you should get the N700 Shinkansen bullet train
If the Great Central Railway get there new museum this will leave Shildon and go down there which is a shame because the shed was special built at the length it is to accommodate this train.
Ps. Have u been to see Scotsman yet?
Little bit unrelated but could you please review a Hornby class 60. Might finally find something stronger than the Vitrains class 37
This Train is awsome i Love this Train
Apt-e=awesome
Well, you really messed up the startup procedure. Back in the 50s, Union Pacific had the Gas Turbine Locomotives, nicknamed "Big Blows", mainly because they are too loud, even louder than this APT-E and the "Big" is because they replaced "Big Boys". Their startup procedure is almost exactly like it. You need to start up the diesel engine first. The power generated by the diesel engine would then be used to start up all other turbines. In the case of UP's engines, there's only one turbine, but it's so powerful. They said that the third generation one could produce upto 8,000 horsepower and even to 10,000 horsepower if pushed to the limit. Correct me anyone, if I got the facts wrong.
Nice video when can you do the premium Javelin
can you review the cumbrian mountain express? Its n gauge, but i think it would be a nice part of your train team. P.S its a train pack no track, but it has a signal box you could put on your desk layout.
why no more videos ??
Will is this apt cregs favorite train to run because he said he likes the apt
will u be making a video with all the sounds and turbines running
InterCity82 can you do a review/unboxing of the East Coast class91?
my question would be did they get the train to a passenger stage or was it just a red test vehicle that really never saw the light of day..
as a passenger service I would of thought it would come in a 9 car variant 2 loco, 2 sleeper, 3 passenger and 2 diner..
The 'E-train' (APT-E) never carried passengers, it only conducted tests for tilt and such, which assisted development of the APT-P (P meaning Prototype) which was electric. Unfortunately, the press around the latter was very poor due to delays and teething troubles.
My dad been on one because his dad worked on a railway so free train dad
LOVE IT 😊❤
wow,want one
Where do you get your trains from I'm a huge fan of trains!🚄🚄🚄🚄🚄
how long till you think your proper layout willbe finished
how does this channel now have 100.000 subs yet :(
It just boggles my mind that the manufacturers don't paint models like this in a high-gloss finish. They want such detail, but the dull finish is all wrong! Manufacturers don't get it... If I want a dull, dirty train with faded paint, I can do it myself. Very difficult to make them shine. Clear coat not an option!
can you do a 38xx or the 3803 steam train please
Incredible model- but like the Bachmann Blue Pullman, the £700 price tag really drags it.
And it so detailed 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
There is also one in Crewe
I know
could you do a review of the calidonian belle set plz
It amazes me that people would actually buy this.
Rapido isn't affordable, well, not for me. I am not spending so much for a model train not built in reality in large numbers. We are waiting for Craig's ATP project to continue and finish. I am sure all of us will agree it will be a cheaper solution. I have noticed Rapido used pancakes for tilting as Kato has done with their high speed N scale trains.
Great model but very noisy!! I just wonder who would be brave enough to run it at a model railway exhibition as I reckon it would annoy nearby exhibitors! I couldn't see on the video but does it tilt?
each to his or her own
it still reminds me of thunder birds with its styling
how excited were you ??
do you have any tips on what ishould have on my lner railway
how about making a video of bachmann tgv.
what happend to mailbox Monday??
When can you do apt project part 2?
