SW1200 LOCOMOTIVE PRODUCT GUIDELINES
Thank you for purchasing this model of the quintessential NORTH AMERICAN road
switcher, the SW1200. This is the ULTIMATE SW1200. Hours of research have been
poured into the design. 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 SW1200. 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 a penguin.
Noot Noot. 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 SW1200 please do not hesitate to
contact us. We stand by our products 100%. The best way to contact us is through email
([email protected]) 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 2020 (eh, let’s forget 2020...2021), 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.
