I’m definitely looking forward to buying this after seeing the real one. Maybe you guys could offer the F units, the Auxiliary water tenders and the whole consist for the final spike tour.

I preordered mine right after announcement, and after seeing The Empress in person I can’t wait for the stunning model with the same sounds

Preordered mine about 2 months ago! Looking forward to owning a model of a locomotive that I flew hundreds of miles to see in person!

I've never pre-ordered a locomotive in my life. I've generally waited but I'm definitly considering pre-ordering a Version with smoke defectors. I guess we will see. I'm sad I miss out on the royal Hudson 5 years ago, but I'll get one of those one day further down the line. Also, you guys need to make both the Jubilee Class 4-4-4 and the CNs confederation class 4-8-4 Streamline class locos like 6400 in Ottawa! You guys sent it out of the park with the last Hudson release and we look to be on the right path with these ones! Please keep bringing us awesome Steam locos!!!

What an opening sequence, Jeremy! The blending of the real engine with like shots of the model was really pretty neatly done. I wish my video making/editing skills were as good as yours.

Man... I wish i could afford that thing and it would just stand in a glass Box... but it looks awesome!

I have #2816 in HO scale brass from Van Hobbies/Samhongsa. Maybe I'll get Rapido's version, too. It's GORGEOUS!!! 😎

Very attractive steam engine model, a Canadian style Hudson locomotive which is sure to draw in attention since these haven't been produced before in ho scale in non brass form.

I dream of having one of these in N-scale...
