- Our epic 2024 Great American Bus Trip went down from March 17th to 27th. Of course there was no bus, but it was still a resounding success! We met with some great people along the way and of course we got up to some hijinks....
Speaking of buses, you can reserve your HO scale transit or suburban new look buses right here:

Love the Blues Brothers references!!
It seemed appropriate!
@@rapidotrains No joke that really cracked me up soo hard🤣🤣🤣🤣
The van launching itself into the air and flying through downtown Chicago and then Landing in Des Plaines has got to be one of the funniest things you've posted to youtube. And so characteristic of the Stormtrooper not being phased at all lol.
Cinema at its finest!
Working at Rapido = making funny videos, and deal with some modeltrains on the side :-)
We make model trains too?!😅
That Dukes of Hazzard style freeze frame was perfect!
It seemed so fitting!
Thank you all for visiting Midwest here in KC. It was great seeing the crew and talking shop! I'm looking forward to all the good stuff coming down the pike :) Much appreciated!
It was an absolute pleasure!
I saw you guys at Rider’s Hobby Shop in Flint! Thank you guys for turning up! -Stephen
Thanks for coming out! We had a blast!
@@rapidotrains Thanks for making the trip! It was cool to see you guys
It was really cool to meet and talk to you guys in Scottsdale, AZ. And that you made it nearly on time on such a stressful FUBAR day...you guys rock!
We appreciate you coming out to see us! As much as the day was stressful, visiting the museum more than made up for it.
ngl, that Breakfast Club ending nearly brought the tears. Well done fellas.
Thanks for the kind words!
Hi Rapidotrains & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Rapidotrains & Friends Randy
Thanks Randy!
Hey guys, I saw you at Lombard hobbies and it was a blast to get to talk to you guys and sign the 90s metra horn
Thanks for coming out to see us! Now we just need to get those CTA 3200 series cars.
Super Genius! Thank you for this video, thank you for the Bus/Van Tour, thanks for swinging by Flint, and thank you for your trains. You guys are the BEST & Canadian!
Thank you for the kind words and support!
Jordan should have said, “don’t you forget about me,” when he was dropped off. Haha.
How appropriate!
Very fun video. You guys are great. Love your products Hoping for a Cleveland Transit System bus someday 😊
Boy you sure took the long route from Glenview to Des Plains, but I was glad I got a chance to meet you there.
This seemed to be the most convoluted routing ever.
Bugs bunny would be proud
But turning right ended up being the right choice! So...
Hey neat! For a split second I saw myself in the parking lot walking towards the Des Plaines hobby shop. I'm an unintentional extra!
Your check is in the mail!
Love the video!!!!!
Glad you liked it!!
Loved seeing all the Chicago clips and the guys at Des Plaines. I hate that I couldn't make it but I enjoyed the video!
Thanks! Hopefully we'll be back in town sooner rather than later
Love the Breakfast Club and Blues Brothers references 😂
When in Rome...or Chicago
You crazy guys are so fun to watch. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You need to make longer movies with trains and sillyness. Thanks for sharing some of your trip with us.
GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
We will!
Loved seeing you guys in Belen!! And next time in Chicago you will need a 1974 Dodge Monaco from. The Mt. Prospect Police dept.
It was great meeting everyone who came out! Thanks for stopping by!
Plastic bag on a fence. " Garbage bag trees and acts of enormity..." The Hip!😅
We get deep...
Thanks for coming to Oklahoma City rápido trains ❤❤❤❤
It was our pleasure!
Sorry your bus broke down but I'm glad that you took a Chrysler minivan. I have the Chrysler Town& Country. Love it! Real smooth. Comfortable ride.
It did get us from town to town in style!
Need to do Jimmy bus impersonations with mouth like when you were kids while in the van. Best Detroit sound, best door sound, best continuous bell cord dinging because you know you could keep pulling the bell. Each one of you walk up to a curb impersonating a bus in rush hour.
Fun video, guys! Hopefully next time, you can get the bus back up and running and possibly come and see us someplace near Denver, CO? Not much of a modelling scene, unfortunately, but we DO have TWO 1:1 museums in Golden, one with a bona-fide Big Boy!
Denver is definitely on our list of places to visit at some point!
And this is why I never miss any of your videos 🙂
And we appreciate it!
Great theme music so nostalgic
Jeremy has a knack for choosing the right sound track!!
EPIC !
Thanks!
Gold
Excellent video
Thank you!
I would have been disappointed I there wasn't *some* kind of Blues Brothers reference.
It would've been a crime!
you boys need to remember that Janet has the phaser
And a transporter. Dangerous combination!
Awesome. But by now I'd have thought y'all could have gotten Jeremy a fully armored stormtrooper getup.
We need to sell more models first......
@@rapidotrains Ah yes, that cash flow thing. And I’m guessing you’d have to go custom for a size two-metre Canuck, eh?
Mid-Con RPM in Benton, Kansas, first weekend in November. Just saying 😊
If the storm trooper told you guys to stop at the nearest Mexican restaurant for Cinco Dé Myo it would of been perfect for Star Wars day on the 4th and Cinco Dé Myo on the 5th
P.S. lunatic is factually correct 😂
The weather would've been much better too!
I want to see a road trip in Bill's Mustang!
It is pretty sweet...
You guys are having too much fun, is the bus fixed
Not yet! It'll be a while...
@@rapidotrains another adventure coming
I knew I should have taken a left turn @ Alburquerque!
😂
That was weird, which is what I thought it would be. Next time fix the bus before you leave. Admittedly this was weirder. Have fun, hosers!🇨🇦🏴☠️🏁
We don't know how NOT to be weird...
Somehow that makes perfect sense!
1:31 interesting way to announce BN executive MACs
😀
I really think I can make a good living as a paddle salesman
Woulda been cooler in a bus…. But I guess all things considered, still amusing as always 😂
Definitely would be cooler with a bus! Assuming the AC was also working. 🤦♂️
@@rapidotrains I’ve got a few vehicles without AC…. It was 87 degrees here today, didn’t drive them…. I totally understand.
How many of the train clips are new product hints? 🤔
Every. Single. One. 🤣
Shermer High School ...that's where Ferris Bueller picked up his girlfriend Sloan with Cameron stuffed under the back seat!! Brilliant!
Actually this was the school from The Breakfast Club!
@@rapidotrains Let's go for both! From Business Insider... "Most of the action in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" happens outside of the classroom, but Shermer High School is still one of the main settings in the film."
"The same fictional high school serves as the backdrop for Hughes' 1985 teen film "The Breakfast Club," in which five exceptionally different students spend their Saturday stuck together in detention."
Jason driving the bus on the right side of the road - illegally 😂
You noticed that...
We now officially know who not to trust at Rapido’s company 😂😂
We suspected all along...
@@rapidotrains The question now is how do we get rid of him and the bus 🤔🤔
First comment. Do i win a ho rdc 3 in bcrail scheme?
In Z scale!
@rapidotrains, now that you are doing it in n scale, I'm happy, but the comments aren't the same without the RDC. This may inspire me to keep the flame alive.
Seems Canadians love using the word "hoser". Or is it just Rapido employees!?!
Seems to be mandatory for Rapido employees days.
In retrospect, I should have called them "maroons" instead!
come to wi shops
👍
That is quite an old bus
1971!
should of put free trains panted on the van
But that wouldn't have been quite true. They cost at least ten bucks...
Plastic bag on a fence! unofficial flower of New Mexico!
We saw lots of flowers, then!
Bet their van has yucky metric units
Oh, it did! And I, one of the few 'mericans on the trip, was never sure what speed we were going, or what the temperature was! Argh!!!
Yikes!
💀
This video is similar to a train wreck. You want to stop watching. But you just can't.....
This is the way!
