New Rapido Product Launches! 

The Max Headroom bit was very well done… I need to move some NNNNNNscale ppppppellets on my layout….

“No 210” - Rapido Trains Inc. 2022

This was a pleasantly relaxing way to laugh and unwind after work. Thanks guys. I think you may have created the best N Scale product launch content of all time with this one.

Perfect timing. Been needing an NPCU for my HO Scale Amtrak California trains.

It was a pleasure having you all out at IRM. Looking forward to the Metra F40PHM-2 release! Keep up all the great work! Sincerely, Nicholas (a.k.a. the crew in uniform who handed out the Thomas the Train tattoos on the Zephyr)

lol i love it. Max Headroom!

Love the videos. Hope to see the Amtrak cabbage “n-ified” soon!

Love Rapido, love the Illinois Railway Museum 👍

The F40PHM-2 is a pleasant surprise, though I thought it was an F69PHAC when I first saw the thumbnail.

Burlington Northern E units are coming?! Okay, things are getting really interesting now! Also like the glitchiness of Max Headroom, feels just like watching a certain Wang Chung video!

OMG LOVED the Max Headroom reference here. Was LOL'ing throughout. I will get those covered hoppers based on that alone.

Another fantastic product announcement! Also when you do another commuter F40PH run you may want to consider doing COASTER, Metrolink and GO transit for the BBL you have done.

This was absolutely hilarious!

If you make 210, I will absolutely buy one despite modeling the 1950s. That unit has a lot of appeal, and I think you're missing out on a lot of potential sales if you don't make it. There is one particular Chicago-area railfan I know of who loves F40PHM-2s. She alone would probably buy several 210s.

As a modeler of HO in the 1960's, of N in the 1980's and G in the 2010's, those truck-mounted couplers have been bugging me for 60 years! Please make it stop!

I see what you did there doing 209 and 211 but skipping 210

Love it! Keep up the great work and videos! I really do hope they bring out Max Headroom on Blue-ray as well as making a movie re-do! 😎👍

I can't wait to buy them when they arrive in hobby stores next year

Please consider the current CSX B&O inspired business train F40 units. We understand that they are not exact but we will take them! They will sell well.

LOVED the Max Headroom homage!

Wow ! This was amazing ! He really polished this nicely compared to the first attempt. This is REALLY good. Hilarious too, but I am really impressed. The hard work was worth it. Outstanding job !

I cannot wait for the NSC centerbeam in N scale!!!!

All the commuter stuff is awesome to see being done, however could you make them in N scale? I have an N scale Metra train with both the Kato F40PH and MP36, but I would love to see in N scale the F40PHM.

Another excellent production. I would be interested in an Iowa Pacific themed E8 w/HEP. I did work on them.

LOL. Jeremy in this video was hysterical. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣. Excellent video as always.

Thanks for the "Janet fix". Now I can emotionally get through another week.

Comedy gold 😂

Some cool looking stuff, nothing for me this time, great video , the N scale guy was cool

Wow very exciting for chicagoland modlers! Metras, BN Es, bi levels and also maybe a CB&Q E?? Can’t wait!

I would like to see NJ Transit Arrow III railcars in both HO and N scale. Powered and unpowered models with sound should be available.

Man i love Rapido you guys are great

Really nice

Yay! I remember filling out the card at Trainfest, and asking for the Budd cars. Excellent to see these out, wallet loaded and ready!!

I didn’t know when to jump in with my comment - The Max Headroom was memorable, but “Password123” caused an audible snort. Thanks for another great vid!

love the irm that cbq e5 and train are something else

Nice shot at ScaleTrains

Happy to see Metra! IMO the first run should have been the iconic F40PH-3 and the Nippon Sharyo cars. UP NW Line.

Can’t wait for the F40PHM-2s! Need them for my chicago layout

You need to do a proper alco cp switcher and a crane 250 ton CPR /CNR or a scale car or a cp remote car

Max Headroom lives!! (And I typed this right before Jeremy said Max would be back!)

Post-credit scenes are gold! I can see how trying to produce models of the Chicagoland "gallery" cars would be fraught with danger even for you guys - there are So. Many. Variations! It goes well beyond stainless steel versus painted Cor-Ten steel. The windows get bigger over time, the interiors change (turns out people who use wheelchairs *also* need restrooms - who knew?), etc, etc. I don't recall if the Chicago versions (any of them) that go back to the 1950s were *all* HEP, but if you offer the Vicker-built Canadian Pacific "TownTrain/TrainDeVille" version that ran in Montreal starting in the late 1960s, you'd need to make it *non* HEP - they had generators. Still ... you are the people to do it right. If you dare do these cars in N, remember that your (West) German brother, Arnold, did these in C&NW green/yellow about 50 years ago. Cab car even had markers. Use that as a pattern!! 😀

Looking forward to the BN commuter trains, one minor detail I saw was that the early CAD drawings shown on the news letter lacked the marker light under the nose on the E units, will those be included on some numbers or will they all be as delivered from rebuild

Jeremy does the Max Headroom character so well lol, Matt Frewer would probably get a kick out it. Speaking of plastic... if Jeremy is going to keep doing the Max Headroom character, he needs a plastic suit and tie like what Matt Frewer wore and the plastic looking hair. ;)

I’d like you guys to start a range of products in TT gauge, and have locomotives with working windscreen wipers😂

Love the locomotive! Looks great! In the next run can you guys do a Amtrak Cascades paint scheme?

Well if you keep making Metra, you'll have to make Highliners, right?

the Amtrak F69ph locomotives these remind me of .

I agree with Max 100%. The 70's gave us great music and cars.... I still drive my 76' Sierra while listening to 70's rock.. oh also we can't wait for what you guys (and Janet) are bringing us!!!!!!!

Are you guys gonna make the f40phm-2 and the Budd gallery cars in n scale to? I'm hoping so. Beautiful models might have to get one in ho just because of how cool they are.

I’m still waiting for the F40PHs to come back.

If you're not gonna do Twotenny can you at least make the number boards available for those of us who may want them?

I have to ask, did VIA rail ever consider using cabbage units for push pull regional service in Canada?

Another note on the gallery cars, I don’t know if this is possible on DC but on DCC the ditch lights should always be flashing, at least for the 2 that I have seen the ditch lights are always flashing when turned on.

Grat video best yet !!!

Thank you rapido.

I have a feeling that if you make 210 it would sell suspiciously well

I see the N-gaugers are still stuck in a digital format. Maybe you should make a MOW crane model to fish them out? We've got one at the B&O railroad museum down here in Maryland, if you need something to scan.

Still no Alco C-415 ...

I would have loved to see the ONR Apu f40 units. Sure there was only 2 numbers…. But it would be still cool to have. I feel like this stuff was just for the USA market so understandable. Great work otherwise!

Can you guys make the Alstom Bi levela usual used on amtrak California and Pacific surfliner routes??

Wonder if we'll be getting some P42 cabbages as well in a few years when the ALC-42s take over... I don't look forward to it though, the ALC-42 is pretty ugly compared to the P42s. But it'd be nice if the P42s didn't disappear completely.

If you make a turbine it might give scale train a run for their money

Will your GTEL come with an actual Gas-Turbine powering it?

awesome 👍👍

Please can we get METX 210, its essential for our collections, by far the most important F40 in service

If you do another run of F40PHs can you guys make a Nashville WeGo Star paint scheme for that and the Budd gallery cars? We have one 2 car set with Coach #719 and cab #790 and one 3 car set with coaches 701 and 723 and cab 795

Yessir

As I wait patiently for the rapido Big boy😁😁😁😁😁😁

Sweet Jesus... That was... Uh.. Quite Something

What's go on with and When will the HO GP38 be coming our way??? I pre-ordered it and seems like forever since I've heard any Updates... Looking forward to it's release hopefully sooner rather than later. Doesn't look like it will be here by Christmas....

Happy about the Procor hopper announcement, not so much the "Max Headroom" imitation. Didn't care for the original either...

Cool. Why not an Amtrak NPCU in Cascade scheme? 90251 for example?

Must. Have. Twotenny!

The Max Headroom bit was cute, but also annoying as well.

I see Armour Yellow & silver! With a cab unit-style nose! Are you guys doing a turbine?

You didn't make an Amtrak California NPCU😭

CP Rail Woodchip cars for Christmas???

Again, I am very disappointed that Rapido again didn’t offer Amtrak Cascades NPCU paint scheme.

Also any chance of a experimental BN paint scheme in Silver with black BN logo and large number on rear.

Great work Sincerely Andrew Macintosh

You built the westcoast express cars but not the engine ,other company's have.

Hopefully the next product launch has the nf110 or nf210 😄

I wonder when will the metra Budd bilevels and F40PHM locomotives will arrive at Lombard Hobbies?

N scale Red Barns. Do we have to get all CUPE about it?

Are you guys going to do frisco 1630 at all I know you guys got the chance to at least see her at irm

When will the HO scale Turboliners be out?

I want more Max!

Bonjour Rapido! I haven’t asked this for about 8 months now so I’m allowed again: Will we be getting a CNR U-1-f release (HO scale)? Please. Say. Yes. and that it’s still on the horizon.

Will there be any RDC cars in n scale someday?

Where is the SW1001?!

I have to as, who is Max?

Why not cascades npcu

need bnsf fox river exectuive car it wouldnt be a strech from these commuter cars

Maybe you've already responded to this, but I just saw a review of the Rapido Trimaran (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ijPMVCKwu_4.html). It didn't look like HO or N scale, but it did look wet. What's going on that you're not telling us?

👍👍👍❤❤❤

MAX🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh no your not makeing 210 good thing I made my own

Rapido trains its really hard for me to do the product suggestion form can I email the pictures of caltrain to you guys instead without filling out the product suggestions form?
