Reply to "Rapido - It's All About the Details"

Can't really say. I suspect that in the model railroad field, Rapido is probably the first, or one of the first to utilize 3D scanning of an entire locomotive.

If you look at it from an entirely research oriented exercise to ensure that scale drawings are prepared, injection molding dies are precisely manufactured (I'm assuming plastic injection molded product here) and a plethora of added detail to the model, I think that just about every high volume manufacturer does their due diligence (I'm making these comments regarding HO and N scale, which is Rapido's core competency).

I love Rapido's product. Bought all four of the FPA-2 A units they offered in GN, and have two B units on order. Have 12 of their mill gondolas, 16 of their NP single sheathed box cars, and about 20 of their USRA single sheathed cars, and a Canadian Pacific D-10 on order (I interchange with the CP on my railroad).

Regards,

Jerry
