F7B/F9B LOCOMOTIVE PRODUCT GUIDELINES
Thank you for purchasing this Rapido Trains F7B/F9B locomotive. Much like the
good neighbours of the FP7 and FP9A shared their own manual, we’re making the
F7B and F9B share a manual as well. Why? Well because they’re largely the same,
save for a porthole here and maybe a ladder there. Oh, and a few extra fiddly bits
on the roof too.
Our sound-equipped F7B/F9B locomotive is powered by an ESU LokSound V5
decoder and can be operated on DC or DCC layouts. It is fully compatible with
our old (like, REALLY old) FP9A locomotives included in The Canadian (containing
SoundTraxx Tsunami decoders) and will MU with them smoothly. It’s also largely
the same as our previous CN F9B release, save for a couple of minor internal
improvements. Please read “Operation – DCC/DC with Sound” to familiarize
yourself with the ESU decoder in your locomotive.
You can reach us by email: [email protected], by phone (1-855-LRC-6917 or
1-905-474-3314) or by snail mail at the address below.
Please do not send any models back to us without first speaking to us to get a return
authorization, and please be patient when you send something back. When it comes
to repairs, it’s something we don’t rush. We’d rather get it right the one and only time
we hope to ever see your model come into our warranty repairs department. If you
want to know the status of your warranty return, you have two options: 1) contact
us directly and ask, or 2) complain about us on an online forum or Facebook. One
of these methods will result in a timely response and maybe a nice chat. The other
will result in a decaying radioactive isotope being hidden somewhere in your model
before it is returned to you.
If you are reading this and it’s the year 2050 or later, what took you so long to read
this manual? Of course, we’re assuming that you bought this model when it was
produced in 2020 (that was a wonderful year, wasn’t it?) and that you just threw it
on the track and didn’t even read this awesome little book. I mean, it’s filled with so
many great things and notes and information ... you know what, if you’re not going
to read it, then I’m just not going to write them anymore! How do you like them
apples?
Alright, now I’m hungry. Keep reading the manual. I’m going to get a snack.
