Light-flickering indeed. And the cars were not level with the station floor. So, seriously, we all had to mind the gap, both horizontally and vertically. I "enjoyed" riding it on the Yonge and University lines (none of the "Line 1" nonsense yet) in 1981. The grinding of the rails were even louder near Union Station at that time than it is now, if that is even possible.
I can pretty much guarantee some wonderful person is already griping about the gauge being too narrow. They are sharp looking, no need on my layout but I think I'll get the display model for nostalgia sakes. Took many a trip on those back in the late 60's and early 70's. Lived a couple blocks from the Jane St station. Great location as it was a short bike ride to the CP Lambton or West Toronto yards. Got chased out of there many times as a little kid. Update, ordered the display set, gonna look great in my man cave.
Amazing!!!! Really excited for these!!!! Hopefully at some point, Rapido Trains will do the G2 aluminum body Glouester cars because even though they were quite a temporary era of TTC trains, their cool and unique design are undeniable. Fingers crossed, but shoutout to you either way! 🫡🫡👍👌 P.S. One day, I would love to see not just your usual amazing fully lit model trains, but possibly also a lit up station diorama (like the new St. Clair station display but lit up the way the real life station lights were) Maybe a G2 aluminum Gloucester car, two- car set with a light-powered Rosedale Station display? (just an idea 😀)
this is so nice that I almost want one set but this does not match my plans for a small layout of a very small town with a very short track and more buses than cars and people.
When I was a kid I loved the Gloucester Cars, and the flickering lights and opening windows, they were magic
They were the best!
Hahaha, "Nobody's gonna see the difference [in gauge], not even you." -- Well said.
😆
Jason did a great impression of Ray Nielsen (sp?) as narrator!
We're not sure who he was channeling, but it works!
Those are some beautiful subway cars. Going to check them out. Thanks for all you do for the hobby.
GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
Thanks 👍
Getting Hosers where they need to be!! I'm not even Canadian, but I love the word!
It seemed appropriate 😎

What a time to be alive!

Got my order in, hopefully this can be pushed over the line so it becomes reality!
Thanks for the order!
Memories of going to the Gardens, or visiting grandma at Simpsons...
Cool! Certainly a favourite memory for many Torontonians
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
Hey rapido, when are you going to do CTA 3200 series cars?

Your videos are funny as hell... My favorite was "your railroad of lies"... LMAO
Jeremy has started a trend with that line we think
I really want these~! But I'd also love some T-1s, especially if you can recreate the sound the motors did
The T1's would be a cool model too!
hello Rapidotrains & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Rapidotrains & Friends Randy
Hi Randy!
It said pre order
They haven't been made yet!
Will you have to 3D print it or paint it
this is so nice that I almost want one set but this does not match my plans for a small layout of a very small town with a very short track and more buses than cars and people.
My layout of lies
Please tell me that you’ll also make New York subway cars.
Maybe one day!
Also how long is it
When will it release
Likely mid-2025. Follow our online delivery schedule for the regular updates! rapidotrains.com/product-delivery-schedule
1954 cool - I might have to develop a story for why they ended up on my rails 😜
They did deliver them by rail on flatcars to Toronto!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT DOING THE G2??? I've been waiting for decades!
BTW, Toronto is in east Canada, right?…
😅
Too bad this isn't in N-scale. :(
Can you open the windows?
Due to the size the windows will be fixed in the close position.
I bet that will sell like hot cakes.
So far so good!
maybe maybe
They need graffiti and ageing . Very prototypical cars
Jason be like make anything just not STEAM! Then the team takes anything literally and makes a BART and a Toronto Subway
We have a number of steam locomotives on the way including the CP 4-6-4 Hudson (in production) and the CNR H6 4-6-0!
