ANOTHER RAPIDO TRAINS UPDATE

Rapido Trains UK are really spoiling us with updates at the moment - as they have just provided us with more news on their gorgeous 'Ivor the Engine' Train Packs - including examples of the sounds in action as well as a run-through of what's included in each set. On top of this we've also got some more Rapido news that you can explore below!

'IVOR THE ENGINE' PROJECT UPDATE

Following on from our last update on this project featuring the latest decorated samples for the range, Rapido have now treated us to two separate videos going into detail on the DCC Sound profile and also running through what's featured in each pack too!

Did you know that the sets will include some delightful figurines, buildings, accessories and even a brand new Ivor the Engine storybook written by the son of the original creator?

These are shaping up to be something truly wonderful and are unlikely to ever be re-run in the future so we really recommend getting your pre-orders in before the order book closes on Monday 28th July 2025.
