Here's the full product feature video of our N scale United Aircraft TurboTrain. The order deadline is March 26th. You can find out more and reserve yours here: rapidotrains.c...
I love this set. I rode it in 1975 from NYC Penn Station to Boston as the "Yankee Clipper" in the Dome lounge. Lots of fun. Paticulairly thru the East river tunnel and over the Hell Gate Bridge.. Great memoiries All for $14.50. US One way! Thank you!
Great entertainment, great products, extreme attention to detail. That’s what sets you’re products apart from other manufacturers. Love what you’re doing...
Jason, You guys rock at Rapido Trains and crazy funny or is it, you don't have to be crazy to work at Rapido trains, but it helps? (ha ha ha). Simply love the new Amtrak turbo train, great work guys. Continue keeping the videos lite, but informative. Two thumbs up for the entire Rapido Trains crew. Cheers, Rich S.
Congratulation!. To Mr. Dan Darnell for the hand painted of the models of UAC Turbotrain. The Turbo has a icon for the canadian model railroaders and railfan, but no have continued. The other avanced in the light and fast train in Canada the VIA LRC too. The only light train in the world that from seventy year a go and her confiable tecnology and avances is the spanish Talgo. Every day the Talgo 102-112 series run in Spain at 300 km/h between various great cities.
You should should do another run of Ho VIA turbo trains, I’ve got a pre-order of your VIA mid train dome cars and I’m dying for a VIA turbo train but working at Walgreens I can never afford one... 😢
Speaking of Turboliners. You should do the RTL Turboliner in HO. Hopefully Amtrak will restore the last set they’ve got so you can record the sounds from it.
Just out of curiosity, where did you get the sounds for this? Was there some kind of comprehensive recording made of the Turbo sounds before the were all scrapped, or did you guys manage to cobble it together out of different historical videos? Either way, fantastic job on this. If you ever do a Rohr Turboliner in HO I will sell half my other models and buy about 8 of them!
Thankfully, a CN employee, Bill Morrison, took extensive Beta footage of the train in 1982. It took about three months to recreate the sounds from that. -Jason
I know for a fact that there are several stores that ordered extra for stock. If you have trouble finding one, send us an email and we can help you. rapidotrains.com/contact-us/
I like the Turbotrain a lot more than the Turboliner. It should have been promoted a lot better by Amtrak on its Boston-New York City run, and it should have had a Boston-Rensalaer/Albany,NY run and also a New York City-Rensselaer/Albany run, a Chicago-Indianapolis-Cincinnati, Chicago-Detroit, & Chicago-Milwaukee-Green Bay run as well.
Something I've noticed from pictures is some of the REAL units have the red and white gyralights swapped, some red on the left and some red on the right etc
Wonderful model. The problem id so limited and its high price, for some modest railway modeller, as is my case. Linked to the difficulty of acquiring It in Europe. In some store specialized in north american models trains of Germany, it will be probable to be able to buy it, in Spain It is unthinkable. Buying products of certain value outside the EU don't mean that when you receive the tariffs and VAT imposed by the national treasury at customs, eliminated any possible savings in your purchase.
looks cool! I hope you make a turboliner because my friend would be very happy.............. and I can use it too lol. but please reveal some NJT stuff your gonna make
The licences from Patentes Talgo, S.A. the Spanish constructor of the Talgo (Tren Articulado Ligero Goicoechea Oriol) trains, currently has the english group Hornby Hobbies International. He inherited them-renewed after the sale if the Spanish brand Electrotren, S.A. by the founding family if this railway modeling company to Hornby. The models of Talgo Hotel DB InterCityNight~NachZug in ~H0~ and ~N~ marketed by the Germán group Märklín-Trix-Minitrix, the were entristece to Electrotren and then to Hornby who own the licenses and the molds. Although these patents licenses from Patentes Talgo, S.A. they are not perpetual, they have a validity time, like those granted by any other company on about your intelectual property, corporate image, etc, etc... I doubt that Rapido Trains is decided to reproduce the Talgo Amtrak Cascades, although you never know. I want it also in N scale.
Conrail shared assets guy Productions , if they want to get measurements from a real one, there's half a Turboliner sitting in southern Indiana, one power car and two coaches
"No we are not making a Turboliner"
Fast forward to 2020...
And the funny thing is we meant it back then!
Thank you for including the N scale modelers in your line up. Very much appreciated.
Since I don’t think anyone at Rapido hears this nearly often enough, when are you guys going to re-release the HO scale Turbo?
It's in the works...
so, when will there be a new HO TurboTrain
I'll take a G scale turboliner.
Leon Kernan that would take up half my backyard

Awesome memories, thanks for sharing!
2:57 the light is not burnt-out its where the turboclub hostesses are, young AND exciting!
Great entertainment, great products, extreme attention to detail. That’s what sets you’re products apart from other manufacturers. Love what you’re doing...
the Turbo Train in Amtrak with DC is now on my " *need* " list (I also want to see the Turboliner in HO or N)
Imagine if we had those here in Australia, the bushfires would have been spectacular XDDD
Are you going to do a re release of the HO TurboTrain?
I can't wait to get mine, first time I've ever done a pre-order but didn't want to miss out on this landmark train.
I am very happy with mine. Very awesome train set.
Awesome! We're pretty proud of it.

Damn, I'm surprised I haven't got any Canadian models yet, these are a beauty.
You guys from rapido trains you guys make me laugh
We do what we can!
Fantastic model it's a shame nobody thought to preserve one :(
How did I miss this? I had no idea you produced the Turbo in N scale!
We did! These were released back in 2018. They’re a bit hard to find now, but it’s possible there may be stores with them still available.
.. heart pounding intro .. speechless .. who's that loud guy in red hat and beard? .. congrats on new train! : )
MIke has got to be so proud. Congratulations. And I love the video.
Congratulation!. To Mr. Dan Darnell for the hand painted of the models of UAC Turbotrain.

You guys are so Canadian it hurts.
😂
You should should do another run of Ho VIA turbo trains, I’ve got a pre-order of your VIA mid train dome cars and I’m dying for a VIA turbo train but working at Walgreens I can never afford one... 😢
lol...great vid...love that train...very unique gas turbine...great sound...and a layout..
will rapido ever do o scale? if you guys have such detail in N scale i cant imagine how intense O scale would be!
Unlikely to happen any time soon!
@@rapidotrains seems like a possibility though:)
Looks like you guys are having a barrel of fun! :)
So you can give the amtrak announcer a Canadian accent in the CVs right?
what a turbotastic turbo train!
Speaking of Turboliners. You should do the RTL Turboliner in HO. Hopefully Amtrak will restore the last set they’ve got so you can record the sounds from it.
Finally. The N scale TurboTrain. I have one on Oder. Can’t wait for it. 😁😁😁
Did they run on the Oder??
Just out of curiosity, where did you get the sounds for this? Was there some kind of comprehensive recording made of the Turbo sounds before the were all scrapped, or did you guys manage to cobble it together out of different historical videos?

can you make the proper go transit/metrolinx cab car? PS nice video
Please announce the LRC in N scale next! Thanks for video cannot wait to get my n scale turbotrain.
Can you make a turbo train in Ho again please?
Yay new movie!!😊😊
Thumbs Up!
Greetings From Poland!
I wish I knew about this when I could have pre ordered an late Amtrak design

Where is Janet? You should get her to join in the videos more! N scale guys are gonna' love you guys! Cheers, Dan
It really is too bad not one of the turbo trains was saved.
I love the ending, did you guys call an ambulance ?
Thanks for watching all the way through! We didn't call an ambulance. Jason is still there.
that Amtrak one is how I want in HO scale
Would look good running with my con-cor aerotrain.
Would look good running ANYWHERE! 😁
Loooooove your video
Something I've noticed from pictures is some of the REAL units have the red and white gyralights swapped, some red on the left and some red on the right etc
We have two different lighting circuits so each train will match the specific prototype according to PDC number.
rapidotrains I figured you guys would be on top of it. Can't wait to get my Penn Central
Awesome I was thinking of getting into n scale
I'm with Jordan, let's see the Rohr Turboliner in HO.
Psssst! Do the Rohr Turbo next! (and thank you for the N scale FL-9s).
Have you tried making a turbo in T Scale?
Wonderful model. The problem id so limited and its high price, for some modest railway modeller, as is my case.
Linked to the difficulty of acquiring It in Europe. In some store specialized in north american models trains of Germany, it will be probable to be able to buy it, in Spain It is unthinkable.

Nice! Can't wait to get mine. If I keep saying nice things do I still have to pay for it?
If only.... ;-D
Nice!
looks cool! I hope you make a turboliner because my friend would be very happy.............. and I can use it too lol. but please reveal some NJT stuff your gonna make
I have a feeling the turboliner will be coming soon
Ho scale Amtrak cascade Talgo?
Washington State Rail Productions that would be awesome

Cool locomotive
Love that 🚂
"When autofocus goes wild."
dan walked out with a f40
Cool video! I would love if you made HO scale CN SD60Fs!
Nice vid
DAMN
Now I wished I'd ordered one way back when I had money for it--out of era (or locale) or not!
The models are not due to arrive until the fall. Plenty of time to save up!
You guys need to do Z scale. It is wide open.
Please tell me how to get a set . that would go great with my collection
rapidotrains.com/n-turbo-2/
When we get the new tiebreak will it be available in no sound cm because I don't like the sound but I like ho and cn
Turbotrain
The Turbo would probably be only sound, but you don't need to turn it on.
@@rapidotrains ok because the n scale turbo had a no sound version
Hey are you ever going to release this train in ho scale
We released out HO UAF Turbo back in 2008, but we will be looking at rerunning them again in the future!
I meant the turbotrain, I want to put it on my Amtrak layout to show the generations of Amtrak trains. In ho scale. All high speed
Will you test it on 9,75" radius curves? I´d like to order one but most of the curves of my layout are that tight.
Sure - we'll test it and let you know!
We checked and the TurboTrain does indeed work on 9.75" radius curves.
is is it made in USA?
stunner!
I just buy CN DCC version today....May I ask : are interior light included?? I cannot turn the light on ....
Turn off the lights in the room. The train lights are very subtle. This was on purpose to recreate the lighting effect of the real train.
Thanks Rapidtrain, it works !! I can see the interior light after turn off all the light of my house. very nice train..thank you
Awesome!. Which is the tightest curve It can navigate?
We designed it for 11" radius. We have not tested it on anything tighter.
Cool stuff. Will ever actually make a turboliner. Also will you make a cabbage in n scale
Conrail shared assets guy Productions , if they want to get measurements from a real one, there's half a Turboliner sitting in southern Indiana, one power car and two coaches
I would probably buy an HO Turboliner
TURBOTRAIN
There are 2 full turboliners outside of New York
Didn't the amtrak one hit a meat truck on its first run?
Nice video!
I wonder if there is a chance that Rapido will ever re-release this? I have adult money and kid desires...
We may do another run in the future though it may be a while off yet.
Does the CN version and the Amtrak have the same lighting effects front and back?
On the production models the lighting will match the prototype. On some trains, the red Gyralite is on the left. On others, it's on the right.
Thanks!!!! Can't wait to get it.
Ok, it's even sadder to know this is in the history books, after hearing that thing spool up its engines. What the hell happened Canada?!?! :(
Your products look good but you have to lower the price. These are way too much and getting to expensive. Other companies are lowering their price
if you where to make the turboliner under 700 and gave me 6 months to save up i would buy it
never mind i read the credits after
"We made the TurboTrain in HO 10 years ago and it SUCKED" -Jason Shron 2018
Stay tuned...
ho scale colorado railcar DMU in trimet wes sceam.
You're ote of the band eh? This train is too long and too cool for my tiny N loop :(
Get the three-car version!
canadas only attempt at hihg speed rail.
Jordan ... Since your president now .... Could you please get me better accommodations .... The TMC is nice ... But I would really like a bath ...
No, the word is Beautiful. Not "Beauty". Makes it sound like you guys are Canadian.
Oh, wait.... Nevermind.
300-500 dollars? Yeah , I'll pass
so freaking expensive for an N Scale Train
Yeah...but it's cool. :)
Start saving your milk money.
Thats way too small.
