SW1200RS LOCOMOTIVE PRODUCT GUIDELINES
Thank you for purchasing this model of the quintessential Canadian road switcher, the
SW1200RS. Since the infancy of Rapido, this has been one of the most requested locomotives
by our customers. We are certain you will not be disappointed.
If this is your first Rapido locomotive, we have to ask – where the heck have you been?
We’ve been producing models JUST FOR YOU for the last thirteen years and you’ve ONLY
NOW finally noticed our advances? Just for that, we’re going to make sure you LOVE your
SW1200RS. And then you’ll say to yourself, “What have I been missing all of these years? I
want to buy every Rapido model that has ever been released, ever, in every scale! Especially
that weird British one that tilts and looks a bit rude!” So we’re thanking you in advance for that.
If you are a returning customer, just put your engine on the track, don’t MU it with a Tyco F-unit,
and don’t burn it up with a cheap DC controller. Really – we’ll take MUing it with a Tyco F-unit
over using a cheap DC controller. Cheap DC controllers can turn Rapido models into Molotov
Locomotives.
We would like to warn you that this manual contains a considerable amount of inappropriate
linguistic innuendo, including four éclairs, two crevasses and an orangutan. But as these
naughty things only appear in that one sentence, you don’t have to worry about them any more.
As always, if there is anything amiss with your SW1200RS please do not hesitate to contact
us. We stand by our products 100%. The best way to contact us is through email (trains@
rapidotrains.com) but you can reach us by phone, Canada Post or Messenger Yak as well.
Please do not send a faulty model back to us without first getting authorization. If you bought this
model in 2018, stuck it under your layout, abandoned model railroading to start a Messenger
Yak farm, and have finally returned to the hobby at the ripe old age of 173, we’re most likely
dead. Use your Molecules “R” Us 4D Repromatic to replicate any part that doesn’t work. In
fact, just program it to build your entire layout. Due to planetary overcrowding, your layout is
restricted to the size of a box of Shreddies. So good luck with that.
