157RANDOM Belleville Ontario here. I also Can’t wait. My collection is growing, but still have no space to actually model. I’ve always wanted to do the Kingston sub with CP Belleville sub integrated, and go train from Oshawa to Toronto.
Very enjoyable and interesting. Many times we think of our rr manufactures as being big corporations, and most are just like this one. A small family of friends building in the hobby of trains. I've been to Intermountain in Longmont, Co. and they are just as personable (minus the passenger car in the basement) Thank you and I want a Nerd shirt too!
+Rusty Springz He seems like a hard working individual who has built a great life for himself. Try it once in a while, you might not be so negativite towards everyone else all the time.
Revell offers a super detailed 1/24th scale model kit of the AEC Routemaster double decker bus. And there are photo etch after market parts to make it even more detailed!
James great video , I am glad you got to meet Jason. He is a super nerd and great guy all around. Talked to him a few times at a Mississauga train store and at a local Hamilton Canadian manufacture show. Very down to earth and he loves his trains and the hobby. Companies like mth and athern should learn from this type of passion. It's not about dollers and cents it's about making something that is built well and just fantastic. I am also glad you finally made it to Canada, Toronto is an excellent city that I live just an hour drives from. Your next Canadian adventure should be riding via or the Rocky Mountainer through BC.
Enjoyable vid Jim, good going! Jason and the Rapido team are such a cool and down to earth group. Frustrating for me is that I was visiting Canada at the same time, but my friends planned a full schedule of tourist trip visits that kept me away from Markham (grrrrrr!). I took photos and videos of my visit and will show some on the Atlas Rescue forum.
we have a double decker buss sitting in a field here in simi valley, dunno if it is for sale, but I can find out, if he wants it. Also, if Jason could make a Yosemite Sugar Pine Railroad Shay locomotive, I would go insane!
This has got to be the best video I've watched so far on your channel... Thumbs up! 👍🏼 PS a playlist on how your home layout is coming along would be really enjoyable to watch. :)
James...Excellent video! Wow, it sure shows a person/persons who love their job. I can't wait to see some of their new things coming out. Maybe at TrainFest 2016 in Milwaukee?
Small world, I lived most of my life in Kingston. My family is still there. I was hoping to return in a couple of years, but may put that off for a year since I live approx 5 hours from Cheyenne and I'd love to see the Big Boy completed.
hey james , I cant believe you where in markham , that is 30 mins from me ,, tell me next time you stopping by ,, anyway , great video , wow talk about high energy , love the basement ,, we all need one of them , lol ,, he has a great layout going , did you get a chance to check out across the street , the ripleys aquarium , take in a blue jays game , oh there is so much to do right in that area ,,
Nice video! Great trip! Heading to Cedar Point, eh? We are about 3 1/2 hours southwest of there! No train car in my basement ... my basement holds my shop, and a lot of storage. No layout per se ... just some Kato Unitrack I set up to run my trains ... but ... there is a lifesize African Lion and Black Leopard in our living room! Makes for interesting photo ops and conversation! ;) Stop on by some time!
I love the train myself and wishing I can get ride a real train on tracks .I own trainset but,no longer will be be able do it anymore .he's a wonderful guy man .
At about three minutes, You all should have " Rapido Train Pass" for you visitors. Make 'em on a copy machine ! That would be Too Cool !! At 5:00 min, we have a 1963 GM Pd4106 that we cruise in. It's a one bedroom house on wheels and it gets attention Anywhere (Everywhere) we go ! Wayne Everett on RUclips. There are two tours of it. The newer tour.
flat screen in the window showing a tour of scenery going by. Then you hear the bong, bong, now departing your guys version of the Space needle in Seattle.
Cool stuff, I am only a 20 minute drive form Windsor, Ontario. Take the Via Rail to Toronto, drive via the Detroit / Windsor Tunnel. "Cool Video" • Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
That was way cool! Jason seems like a heck of a guy and it looks like he gave you the royal treatment. They make some really nice models, I just don't model much Canadian stuff (no insult intended to our brothers in the north)
Gees Louise @4:33 I would've been like okay interview over! This guy really lives up to the Canadian fashion stereotype too with the cut off jean shorts LOL
Hey James great video my name is Ramone I spoke to you at train fest here in Milwaukee November 11 2017 next time your in Milwaukee I would like for you to see my n scale layout also keep up the great videos lots of great info
Your best bet would be to call Bachmann. Their repair service is fantastic. They will replace any broken things as long as you supply the initial cost.
I can't believe you got hand cuffed, placed on the road. Did the cop actually tried to say you were resisting? Thats why I don't put anything in my front pockets incase I get poked and move quickly, I might get shot.
that computer I can make it a super computer with SSD drive sound card state of the art video card several choices under 500 bucks. Frys electronics cheap computers with fantastic prices.

I'd be excited to see Jason's layout when its done because the line he models runs through my hometown of Port Hope, ON
157RANDOM Belleville Ontario here. I also
Can’t wait. My collection is growing, but still have no space to actually model. I’ve always wanted to do the Kingston sub with CP Belleville sub integrated, and go train from Oshawa to Toronto.
This guy is a true model railroader he just has so mutch fun with this hobby
Fantastic, so cool! Thank you James and Jason for a "behind the scenes" view. Very interesting!

Very interesting video, very nice, thank you James!

This is am excellent video. Very well done. The owner of Rapidotrains is living his dream
He seems to be living ALL OUR dreams!!!
+Rusty Springz He seems like a hard working individual who has built a great life for himself. Try it once in a while, you might not be so negativite towards everyone else all the time.
He makes our wishes reality.
Have fun at Cedar Point. My all time favorite theme park with real working coal driven steam locomotives!
I concur those are genuine sounds especially the vestibule sound.
A very enjoyable video!! Thank you for sharing!!
I really enjoyed the tour and train ride with the small train and the big train. it was really nice that JASON showed us around
Thanks for visiting Canada. Love the new intro to your show!
Jason has an extremely long epic winded saga for every average story.
I thoroughly enjoyed it !! Thank you very much !

Great video with a really wonderful guy committed to model railroading.
Amazing video James I enjoyed every bit of it! Rapido Trains are a pretty cool group!
+Rusty Springz There models are pretty darn detailed compared to other big manufacturers.

Great video James. Thanks for posting.
Wish I could work for a boss that was as nerdy, passionate and animated as Jason.
CSX Actually has a AC6000 #666, I think it is the only US Loco with that road number though.
I think BNSF has a 666, but they also have a 777. Both ends of the spectrum.
EJ&E had a GP-38 (or an SD40) with that number
Just checked and it was a SD40
166 US locos have number 666
GO Transit in Ontario has GO 666 an MP40PH -3C.

Mom turned pink there.
Just two words - AWWWW SOMEEEEEE
Thanks for sharing...
Awesome tour!
WoW I love the Moller Mac :)
That is a very very rare computer now
Cool stuff, I am only a 20 minute drive form Windsor, Ontario. Take the Via Rail to Toronto, drive via the Detroit / Windsor Tunnel. "Cool Video"
• Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
Oh my gosh the crossover we never knew would happen
Thanks James!
Same foam we use in boats aluminum ones seem to work best.
*Top Ten Best Crossover Episodes Ever*
Per Jason' Comments>>>. How about building a Pennsy Congressional /Senator (at least the Obs and Tavern Lounge )--not offered by Walthers?
James - Great video, really love it!
I gotta say, after seeing this, and how passionate they are, I would want to make Rapido my go-to brand for trains. Really cool!
+Rusty Springz shut the hell up internet troll!
+Rusty Springz I like Bachmann, but I would rather support a small business with a passion. Thanks for your input though.
It would be great to see an update on Jaysons layout lol
Great video man. Can't believe 3 haters thumbs downed this one. Why ??
That was way cool! Jason seems like a heck of a guy and it looks like he gave you the royal treatment. They make some really nice models, I just don't model much Canadian stuff (no insult intended to our brothers in the north)
thanks Gary!

Okay James, tell me those weren't two PROTO 1000 RDC's on his desk. What? They have RDC's? Are you kidding me? NOT!
I’m a bus nerd and specialise on Northern Irish busses

Your best bet would be to call Bachmann. Their repair service is fantastic. They will replace any broken things as long as you supply the initial cost.
ok thanks!
What's their policy on tours like that?
Pretty good video
Seems like a real nerd! I dig it.
I can't believe you got hand cuffed, placed on the road. Did the cop actually tried to say you were resisting? Thats why I don't put anything in my front pockets incase I get poked and move quickly, I might get shot.
they will rent that shower as a one bedroom in Seattle for 900 a months plus power and water.
that computer I can make it a super computer with SSD drive sound card state of the art video card several choices under 500 bucks. Frys electronics cheap computers with fantastic prices.
I am buying one of those T-shirts!
I own and drive a 35 foot bus with airbrakes with no need to get any special license. not required for personal use.
Why does the proto paint cost more in canada despite rapido being a canadian company? Grrrr!!
Do you have a 3X size shirt?
My god he actually has a train in his basement.
We finally got to see your wife. Nice
That's my cousin. My wife still prefers to be out of the public eye She's only been on one video.
You just happen to drop in with a camera. lol
So who is Abby?
tell that guy I can sell his nerd shirts quickly. (only problem is they won't be going to model railroad enthusiasts)
