Rapido (158025) | NSC Ballast Hopper | Railroad of Lies ROLX #9008 | Patched | HO ScaleProduct Description Ballast! A commodity that is rarely discussed yet plays a pivotal part in the upkeep of any railroads infrastructure. Many railroads simply used older open top hoppers to carry and dump ballast along their right of ways. In the mid 1970s, National Steel Car (NSC) designed and developed a welded open top hopper specifically for ballast service, complete with four bottom chutes to spread the rocks along the rails.

This ended up being a pretty solid little fan. The biggest strength is how compact and portable it is while still putting out a decent amount of airflow. Easy to throw in a bag, keep while traveling, or use outdoors without it feeling bulky. Build quality feels decent for the price. The plastic body is lightweight but doesn’t feel especially cheap or fragile. It feels designed for portability first, which is exactly what I wanted. One thing I did appreciate was that the blades don’t hurt if they accidentally hit your hand or finger. Small detail, but it makes the fan feel less annoying to use and probably safer around kids as well. The flashlight feature is honestly whatever for me. Nice that it exists, but not something I personally needed or would buy it for. The fan itself is the real value here. Pros * Compact and easy to carry * Good airflow for the size * Lightweight but reasonably well made * Fan blades are safe and don’t hurt on contact * Convenient for travel or outdoor use Cons * Flashlight feature feels unnecessary * Plastic construction is functional, not premium * Not powerful enough to replace a larger fan Final Thoughts Overall, this is a very practical portable fan that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Compact, effective, and easy to keep with you. The extra features aren’t a huge selling point for me, but the core fan functionality works well enough that I’d still recommend it. Who It’s For Great for travel, theme parks, outdoor events, sports games, commuting, or anyone wanting a compact personal fan that’s easy to carry around.

Great product

Color: Pink

Fit in my purse and has a good battery life for as much as I use it. Enjoy that there’s two different air flows.

Color: Pink

My wife uses this little fan when she experiences one of her occasional hot flashes. And she said it works well for these times. She also uses it when we are at an outdoor market or park when the temperature rises along with the humidity thus providing a little respite from the these conditions. She likes the size, weight, the included lanyard, and the fact that it is so quite when in use. A full charge seems to last for a two to three hours depending on the selected speed of the fan itself. There are other more powerful portable handheld fans available, however, this one seems to be the perfect compromise between air speeds, size, weight, and price.

Here for a good time, not a long time…

Color: Pink

This fan really was great for use at work (fit in my pencil case to bring up to whichever docket I had to cover; quiet enough to run during court; and the light on the end helped me find countless pens and miscellaneous supplies that fell under the dark/closed-in clerk’s desks), however, I had to order a new one after 5 months of daily use because it just stopped turning on (the light would work, but the fan motor must have died out). I made an extra effort not to over-charge it when I got the second one, so when it died again after another ~5 months, I pivoted to trying a different product. Maybe it would work better for someone not using it so often, because aside from longevity, it was a handy little tool. If they made it with a more durable/quality fan motor, I’d probably re-order again (but I highly doubt that’ll happen haha)
