Thanks very much to the people working at this factry for the wonderful job you do in making these models. They look terrific and run very well. Your work is very good.
Interesting how models of this quality are made. Rapido Trains are outstanding. Perfection and detail are the standard in this company. As a Railroad modeler and a RR fan, I appreciate very much this brand. Congrats to you at the helm of RT, Inc
Bravo Jason! Thanks for showing us the labor of love that goes into making these trains. It's important to show the handy work and people that build them. Love your LRC trains! Looking forward to buying the RDC's.
I must say that in combination with the other videos, this is one very interesting...story would be a way to put it about what it truly takes to get from a concept to a running model on someones layout. I know that the hobby has been under flak in recent years about the cost of some of these models and about where they are made. Seeing this really helps put everything in perspective. Thanks for the transparency about what it takes. Keep up the awesome work that your company as a whole does!
Hi Jason thanks for all your hard work on making sure us lucky modelers have the most accurate RDC in HO scale in my opinion ever made on this planet,my orders in for the Santa Fe set ...a dream come true Jason ;)
I look forward to the N scale Turbo train. It will look great beside the three GMD-1s in NAR scheme I have. Please hide more phaser sounds on the decodes, it was a nice touch and make wife bust a gut laughing lol. Cheers from Calgary.
all of the time you spend in QC, can surely save you in your bottom line for the long run! i could sit at one of those rubber stamp presses for hours...
Thanks, Jon! The best way to learn is to be here. You need to communicate, so you learn the words. I also keep discovering that words I learned are not actually used colloquially. So I have to relearn the correct word. - Jason
During production we will certainly do a video. In the meantime the guys at Revolution Trains are the ones to talk to about a video. We're sending them a new sample today.
I've watched enough crime shows to know you never let your worker ladies wear clothes; that's the way you know they don't steal anything. P.S. I am rooting for you guys. I love how your operations seem so personal. It feels like I'm buying products from a locally owned store.
So nice to see all this people making our kits. How much would it cost to manufacture them here? Do you mind their working conditions as much as you care the quality of the trains? I would rather changing my hobby if not. Congrats for excellent work to all the team.
Definitely not like a native. I can get by, but my vocabulary is only a few hundred words. Every time I come it grows a bit, and having spent a total of five weeks in China this year means it's grown rather a lot. -Jason
I got a kick out of the guy with a broom pushing aerial cables out of the way. I am surprised they don't just tear then down with the truck. They could put them in higher when the reinstalled them.
Jason, if you're going to thank the folks at the factory, shouldn't you do that Chinese? (I have no idea which dialect. I have enough trouble remembering whether to post in English, American or Canadian, eh?)
I love Rapido Trains but the only thing is, why aren't they made in the USA!? Why can't we even make model trains in the US anymore!? This is crazy! All these Asians seem miserable! Why can we have a bunch of American men and women who love model trains, make these trains? I know plenty of people who would enjoy this job!
rapidotrains yeesh, that's brass territory! Lol. I'm very happy with my FP9, won't find a better quality, highly detailed model for the money. Need a couple more though to complete my OSR fleet.
