Video: Rapido Trains visits Model Railroader magazine
Very nice job on the Amtrak engines, especially the horn. Now, if you can do that well, you might try it with one bell bent or slightly clogged.
The gons are excellent, particularly the re-built roller bearing trucks. Glad to hear they are for sale separately. Just hope we won’t have to contact Star Fleet Command to get them.
Warp factor 8! I’m given her everything I got captain! VERY nice models.
Thank you for the review and funny ending!
He’s a funny guy that Jason! Enthusiastic! Great products too.
Cody, that fascia and skirting on the MR&T looks great. Any chance that you might do a “How To” video on it? What it’s made of, how it’s attached etc.
We will get there one day! Live Long and Prosper
I never thought about trains being in the Star Trek universe before…
Canadian EH! Jason is the ultimate enthusiast. Great products, great details. Oh and some more Cdn English for you. Gone dula not gone dola; Deezel not deesel, Roof not Ruff, it’s just a matter of getting the right em-Fasis on the correct sill -abl
Just sayn eh!
great videos on MR 
Congratulations to David, Cody and Jason as MR Video Plus crosses into the world of special effects. Truly entertaining. Keep up the enthusiasm, it is contagious.
A true renaissance man Jason is- trains, Star Trek and hockey what a guy! And its products are awesome!!
I have the VIA F40’s and they are an excellent product!
I just received my VIA #6416, and what a great looking and running machine. It is everything Jason and associates are billing it as.
Oh boy, a Dakotan and a Canadian talking Trek Actually a nice group of models. Rapido makes some nice stuff. The F40PH is the wrong era for my layout but it sure looks and sounds like the ones that ran through my area. The gondolas are delightful, really excellent examples of the modelers’ arts. Thanks for these manufacturer interviews, it is fun to put a face (or faces) with the product.
Too bad Jason couldn’t be a bit more enthusiastic! HA! Great looking models.
Wow I’m blown away!
Cody you sure have weird guests - good show Jason.
You know the MRR podcast, the Modelers Life podcast, the Model Railcast Podcast (Thanks, Ryan, and RIP), but have you tried the Missionlog, a Roddenberry Star Trek podcast?
The horn sounding as the train pulls away is probably the best I have heard, aside from the real thing. Have several Rapido model cars I purchased while stationed in Germany (of course they are for the DB, not American railroads), Rapidp modeling has actually impt
I dropped a reservation for one as soon as these were announced. For a 1984-era railroad this is an iconic engine to have. Only wish that Jason had turned on the roof strobes - I’d really like to see that feature.
