It’s a Christmas Miracle to finally see an HO Scale version of the M3A in its modern form. As much as I’d love the M1A with that look too, I’ll take what I can get. I will absolutely be buying some with zero questions asked.
I’m surprised they didn’t start with the M1 since there were 770 LIRR and 178 MTA “Central”/MNCR of them and only 174 LIRR and 142 MNCR M3s. But if there’s demand… they’ll happen!
@jpprophete1988 - I've taken notice a growing number of modelers are asking for NJ Transit models. I myself am one of them. I hope Rapido does the later version F40PH that was rebuilt as NJ Transit F40PH-2CAT, Metro North F40PH-3C and hoping someone will make the GP40PH-2 and -2B.
6:17 I love the fact that the PRSL GP38s will be done to have the extended cab for dual control stands as per the prototype, that is really cool and a great detail. However, in service the PRSL GP38s did not have dynamic brakes. The dynamic brakes were not added until after Conrail got their hands on them. There were a set of dual control stand PC GP38s used in Detroit that had dynamic brakes, but the PRSL units did not.
NO FREAKING WAY... Budd M3 and M3A?!?!?! This is truly a Merry Christmas. I've waited so long for someone to come out with these, and it's happening. I'm totally getting a few sets. I'm prepared to spend a couple of grand on these. I'm so excited!
I thought my chance of having an M3 model was gone after the demise of Shapeways and their 3d printing/purchasing service, but thankfully you've come to save the day. I hope that one day the M7s will follow, but for now, thank you for creating this, I'm off to find a UK retailer taking pre-orders
The CF-7 commentary was epic! Spot-on and accurate. As a friend once said, "it's so ugly it's purdy!" (Yes, that's what he said.) If a GP-7 with swollen glands was punched in the face, this would be the result. And, God help me, I must get one!
Awesome to see the LAJ’s CF7s! Waiting for long time to see a decent model of them in HO. Got a brass one still waiting for painting. You guys save me a lot of work😅
Today was an emotional Christmas. I lost my Grandpa on November 3rd. I got a Christmas gift from him bought by my mom. I got your model of CP 2816 The Empress. It is beautiful. I've been wanting it and couldn't be happier with it. But now it is even more meaningful to me.
Omg You guys just made my Christmas Beautiful as a New Yorker the M1s are so Crucial in nyc modeling 😢I thank you guys so much I’m probably gonna have to come to Canada to pick mines up in person! Thanks again Merry New Year’s to you guys over at Rapido!
Ho scale yes I'm an ho scale collecter n I also go for the big scales train's n the one's that you can ride on your own property or at the amusement Parks to
LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! That first announcement made my Christmas. Thanks guys! Don't stop there, we'll buy subways from you too haha. I'll even provide announcements for free. I do impressions 😂
Can you please do some HOn3 diesel locomotives, steam locomotives, and rolling stock like the diesel locomotives that drove on the White Pass & Yukon Railroad?
I'll second both of these ideas. The brass imports of the WP&Y engines are extremely rare and insanely expensive. A good quality modern plastic model of these especially in a couple of basic colors ready for custom decals might breath a little life into HOn3 again.
"More awkward angles than a geometry textbook" Oh man, that brought back some memories of high school 😮 You weren't there, man. You wouldn't understand! 😂
Rapido has turned model railroading on its head…..amazing products and absolutely wild people who are hysterical! Love it…..now get those Milwaukee H16-44s HERE!
I don't care what you guys say, the CF7 is a beautiful work of engineering, and I'm definitely not saying that because I'm a Florida Man! But for real, I've been having a hit or miss December, but this video made my Christmas Eve/Christmas morning. Looking forward to the CF7. Merry Christmas guys!
i came here for the trains and was blown away by the Jean Michel Jarre/Justice/Daft Punk EDM music for the M3 rail cars! Hey Guys! give poor Jeremy his 5 year bonus (mmmwwahahaha) and Ill ABSOLUTLEY be having a Chessie System GP39! I LOVED the Epic snooty british voiceover on the CF7 and Texas Marlboro cowboy Chevy inspired GP39 sections! ....so...who does that epic tuneage at the beginning though? Merry Christmas everyone!
The CF7’s were the best switching locomotives I’ve ever operated. They loaded up real fast and you could kick a string of 30 cars in the blink of an eye you’d be up to 8 mile an hour. Try that with an SW 1500, MP 15AC, GP 38 or any other unit you choose, these things delivered.
MERRY CHRISTMAS Some good stuff coming out. 2 months till N scale will have to be patient 😵💫 I also watch for the funny stuff you do makes me 🤣 and that makes me feel good. GOD BLESS 🚂💕🎄💕🚂💕🎄💕
Wow!!! More Marbel Hill station childhood flashbacks! CF7s too? Dare I say I saved for announcements like these? (No I didn’t.) I don’t do HO but you guys got me started with the super nice Mystery Box 2024 items. Getting these for sure! Can’t wait for the N Scale announcements. Hopefully some PH III BNSF will be in there too. That mullet statement was hilarious.
shouting out transit and the 5 boroughs makes me hopeful for some subway car love... So many iconic cars like the R32s, R68s and R62s been retired or about to be. Know so many beyond the modeling community that would love to buy them.
Pretty cool something local with the LIRR M3, tho wonder how it works. 1 motor car and 1 dummy car or 2 motor cars? In any case, whoever makes a long train of these will have a ton of motor cars like a real EMU. Though I think maybe would've been nice to have some pure dummy sets.
Great video! The GP38 is awesome in the CPKC and the GM&O. The Balloon top coach is sweet, going to be getting one. Patiently waiting for the CLRV and the GP40TC.
As much as I love Scaletrains products, they can take some notes from you all. Thank you for continuing to add such a great variety to the market. Merry Christmas to you all!
So glad the Maine Central is getting some attention. Use to work on the MEC 252 for a few years even crossed a trestle while on her roof (not by choice). Hoping you'll do the F3s or maybe the class S Mikado's with the high coal bunkers. Keep up the great work, my wallet isn't safe.
@@rapidotrains well, its certainly easier to order RAPIDO TRAINS (your fast way to model railroading fun) if one is alive... ;) cheers from Switzerland, this new products look fantastic!
Definitely getting a couple of those Fugly CF7's got my GWWD 44 tonners ordered. Now we just need RS-23/S13's in GWWD to match my TLT PSC GWWD caboose.
That CF7....Video was Hilarious.... I need some..😂
Yeah you do!
The CF7 narrator was hilarious 😅
He was a good find!
Yeah they really outdid themselves with that narration
Agreed! 🙂
@@camaroguyification awesome channel great video keep them up

I need an M7 model next year to follow this up
The CF-7 spot was the best new announcement EVER. Loved it. Happy New Year!!
Thanks for the love!
Seeing the M3 budd rail cars gives me hope that someday they will do nj transit Arrows and the comet 1B’s, mta comet 1A’s and septa’s silverliners.
And if they do the Arrow IIIs then a run of the non-powered ones that MTA acquired for (what we now call) West of Hudson service.
I want them to do C3s and DEs maybe cuz the latter is retiring
Septa anything would be a HUGE temptation for me

A Walmart GP-35…….
Or harbor freight
That CF7 video was a hoot. Can't wait for the n scale announcements. Keep up the great work.
We went all-out!
The CF7 bit was hilarious......
We mock because we love
M3A!!!! Take my credit card already
FINALLY A HO SCALE OF THE M3/M3A SO REALISTIC
It's the stuff dreams are made of!
Love the KCS - CPKC GP38!
It's pretty sweet!

They certainly deserve the Rapido treatment!
@rapidotrains well, in the words of The Pointer Sisters... I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!
So many good quotes on the CF7
the slander to the CF7. You're tempting me to get one just for that. Thats good marketing
The roasts at the CF7 😆😆😆
Also, love the Home Alone title reference at the start!
We mock because we love

You can check with Rapido UK!

Now THAT description should've made the video!
You guys are quickly becoming my favorite manufacturer!
That's what we like to hear!
How dare you Sirs, the Santa Fe railroad without the CF7 would have been like owning a hockey team that only had crew cuts. The mullet still rules!
Awesome video!
Chessie GP39 and slug.. shut up and take my money!
Awesome to see the LAJ’s CF7s! Waiting for long time to see a decent model of them in HO. Got a brass one still waiting for painting. You guys save me a lot of work😅

Merry Christmas! We're glad you're thrilled!
Just got a brand new Rapido Royal Hudson for Christmas this morning!!! I’m over the moon!!!
It's the gift that keeps on giving!
Even though i'm into O Gauge 3 rail, I LOVE RAPIDO. The traction motor detail and those EMD fans BLEW. ME. AWAY!!!!!!
They are pretty nice, aren't they?
Metro north m3s , cf7 unlettered and gp39 with slug . I’m going to be disgustingly broke 🙃🙃
Much cool stuff. Only of I had the moolah. 👍 Great models
There has truly never been a better time to be a Metro-North modeler. Keep ‘em coming! 😍
We love us some MNCR!
Ho scale yes I'm an ho scale collecter n I also go for the big scales train's n the one's that you can ride on your own property or at the amusement Parks to
Nice!
Thanks for letting me know there's no N Scale in the video. Saved me some time.
Time is the most precious commodity of all!
Nice! Hope to see the M3s in N scale! M3RRY CHRISTMAS and Happy Holidays.
You never know...
Happy holidays!
The cf7 is just unique, not ugly yk
There used to be one running on the Chattooga and Chickamauga Railway, sadly that ended up getting cut up as scrap metal
The other Santa Fe gp7 rebuild looked more... superior
Thanks for announcing M3’s. It’s a great Christmas present. Keep up the great work and hope you do more Long Island Railroad equipment in the future.
We certainly hope to!
LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! That first announcement made my Christmas. Thanks guys! Don't stop there, we'll buy subways from you too haha. I'll even provide announcements for free. I do impressions 😂
Can you please do some HOn3 diesel locomotives, steam locomotives, and rolling stock like the diesel locomotives that drove on the White Pass & Yukon Railroad?
Or HOn3½ for the Newfoundland Railway's diesel and steam locomotives plus rolling stock?
I'll second both of these ideas. The brass imports of the WP&Y engines are extremely rare and insanely expensive. A good quality modern plastic model of these especially in a couple of basic colors ready for custom decals might breath a little life into HOn3 again.
"More awkward angles than a geometry textbook"
Oh man, that brought back some memories of high school 😮
You weren't there, man. You wouldn't understand! 😂
The struggle was real...
Gotta get me a few of the cc&f balloon top coaches 😊
Rapido has turned model railroading on its head…..amazing products and absolutely wild people who are hysterical! Love it…..now get those Milwaukee H16-44s HERE!
Thanks! The wait is almost over!
What an amazing group of announcements. Great job guys! Short line modelers everywhere are rejoicing!
We got lots of shortline love!
@rapidotrains keep it coming! Ya know... Nobody has ever produced an Alco S6 in plastic... Just saying... 😁
Love the new canadian coaches! Definitely will be pre ordering quite a few haha
Excellent!
M3 all day every way
You guys are amazing... thanks and Merry Christmas
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!
I don't care what you guys say, the CF7 is a beautiful work of engineering, and I'm definitely not saying that because I'm a Florida Man!
But for real, I've been having a hit or miss December, but this video made my Christmas Eve/Christmas morning. Looking forward to the CF7. Merry Christmas guys!
Glad to be of service!
The detailing has become incredible, as has the technology and precision to create it
What a time to be alive!
You guys just bankrupted the tri-state area
That was the plan...
This was pretty fun to watch. I didn't know The Muppets were getting into trains.
We're all just a bunch of Muppets!
Thanks for getting the no N scale out of the way early. Bring on the Sodium Chlorate cars in the January N scale announcements !
Did anyone else get the Deluth trading pants commercial when announcing the GP38s? 😂
I get more "Ford F-Series" TV spot vibes than Duluth Trading...the font used at the end was used in Ford Truck marketing in the 2000s...
Wow! Great work Rapido!
i came here for the trains and was blown away by the Jean Michel Jarre/Justice/Daft Punk EDM music for the M3 rail cars! Hey Guys! give poor Jeremy his 5 year bonus (mmmwwahahaha) and Ill ABSOLUTLEY be having a Chessie System GP39! I LOVED the Epic snooty british voiceover on the CF7 and Texas Marlboro cowboy Chevy inspired GP39 sections! ....so...who does that epic tuneage at the beginning though? Merry Christmas everyone!
Just stock music from Pond5!
Holy moly, Maine Central GP38’s. I’ll buy your whole stock!
that video was so well done!!! great job guys!!
Thanks, cheers!
Turning F7s into CF7s was a crime against humanity! I must have it.
The CF7’s were the best switching locomotives I’ve ever operated. They loaded up real fast and you could kick a string of 30 cars in the blink of an eye you’d be up to 8 mile an hour. Try that with an SW 1500, MP 15AC, GP 38 or any other unit you choose, these things delivered.
It's what's inside that counts!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Some good stuff coming out. 2 months till N scale will have to be patient 😵💫
I also watch for the funny stuff you do makes me 🤣 and that makes me feel good.
GOD BLESS 🚂💕🎄💕🚂💕🎄💕
Thanks for watching!
Thanks guys. Always a pleasure. I love the intro espcially. How clever! Blessings Andy
Glad you liked it!
Great video and awesome looking models guys. Happy Holidays.
Happy Holidays to you too!
Can not wait for the CF7s!
We neither!
Keep up the great work! Great video production too. I'm down for CF-7s and more GP38s and the C&O Gp39.
Thanks, we're excited about these releases!
I just received a mystery box from you guys! Pulled a RS-11 High Hood, awesome as always. Keep up the good work! I had a chuckle reading the manual. 😂
Glad you enjoyed!
So happy to see the CPKC geep coming! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
so glad that Rapido is offering another DMU/EMU again. Rapido had been the only one that into these trainsets. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to all the staff .😊😊👍👍👍
Merry Christmas to you too!
And, Happy Hanukkah 🕎

Those ATSF CF7s definitely have a spot on my roster.👍🏾
Excellent!
Looking forward to those Eureka Southern 38s
They're certainly pretty!

Thanks!
Hopefully the m3 is in n scale as well

The plan is motorized trucks.
Budds are stunning!!
This Budd's for you!
Amazing video, hope you guys have a nice hollydays. Does any version of the CF7 has ditch lights? also, the blue BNSF will have ditch lights?
Great video! The GP38 is awesome in the CPKC and the GM&O. The Balloon top coach is sweet, going to be getting one. Patiently waiting for the CLRV and the GP40TC.
All in due time...
With thesr computer MU runs, would you consider doing som septa silverliners?
Love it that you guys don't take yourselves too serious
Well nobody else does, sooooo
Groovy. CF-7s in Pinsley red, please...and lettered "Florida Northern."
I need those balloon-top coaches in D&H, unlettered green and red!
T'is the season to go flat broke. 🙄 💵 😢
Love the CF-7s. I hope you make the Louisiana Delta versions. Saw those for years.
So many possibilities going forward!
It's a good start...
I'm wishing for some Chicago EL Cars some time in the future.
Us too!
Ok, I'm in for the Geep 38's & 39's! Awsome!
Music to our ears!
As much as I love Scaletrains products, they can take some notes from you all. Thank you for continuing to add such a great variety to the market. Merry Christmas to you all!

If we had a nickel for every time we crossed a trestle on a locomotive roof...
Omg almost makes me think about switching from N to HO lol, great models Rapido rocks!!!! Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah
You know you want to 😉
The gp 39 chessie set was sick. Take my money 💰
Gladly!
@rapidotrains 😄
Merry Christmas
Same to you!
you guys are absolutely killing me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well we prefer our customers to be living, but thanks!
@@rapidotrains well, its certainly easier to order RAPIDO TRAINS (your fast way to model railroading fun) if one is alive... ;) cheers from Switzerland, this new products look fantastic!
merry christmas you guys,, and gal
Aw, picking on the poor CF7... 😂😂
Kudos to you guys for doing the extended cab PRSLs , hoping someday for somebody to do an SD 45 with extended cabs for Reading lines
We'll see what happens!
Looks good from this angle 😂
Totally!
Rapido is definitely the most funny producer.
Can you guys do maybe a SP daylight set? You guys make the best passenger cars in h0
Definitely possible!
i think rapido really likes cf7s
They're ok
@@rapidotrains ok
Definitely getting a couple of those Fugly CF7's got my GWWD 44 tonners ordered. Now we just need RS-23/S13's in GWWD to match my TLT PSC GWWD caboose.
Sit tight, you never know what might be coming down the pipe!
Yess The Santa Fe CF7s yessss yessss thank you Rapido.
It's our pleasure!
Whenever I see a CF7,I think of the chase scene with one of those engines in the 1985 movie “To live or die in LA”
Classic!
Those GP39's in chessie were a nice Christmas morning surpirse. Wish there was a Chessie or Chessie CSX patch GP38 though
All in due time...
