Heck yes!! Waited patiently for over a year, but the time has finally come! Can't wait to run these sweet beauties on my layout with those flashy bi-levels (when they come). You nailed it Jeremy!
Thank you for sharing and producing these awesome locos. I hope that picture of the MP40 is like… an Easter egg or something. I mean… let’s really build our Go fleet… or metra or w/e…. I hear Railrunner is a neat set.
Really love the TRE one! Can’t wait to get my hands on one. TRE owns 2 F40PHs now, locomotives 130 and 131. Y’all should make those locomotives in a future F40PH run.
Great video! Loved the camerawork, it was really professional and the steadiness of the camera allowed the highlighting of all those amazing details. Well done!
@@rapidotrains looking forward to seeing if I can secure a Metra unit! Glad you guys made those! Hopefully there will be some other Metra products in the works 😉
Door Closing announcement and Bombardier door Chime warning sound function would of been a nice feature to include on the DCC/Snd models. Perhaps it will be included on the DCC Sound add-on board for the Bi-Level cab coach?
im pretty sure that framed photo of the cn switcher on the wall behind the host.. is cn Oshawa line going to gm north plant this is where the line enters ritson rd
wow i remember the classic amt Amtrak Phase 3 style livery and who here remembers when the MI train unit came and the short lived Minimalist Blue and gray?
Do the metrolink models have a prototypical nathan p2? Couldn't help but notice they're using a k5la instead unfortunatly since p2 are used 90% of the time.
3:25 please tell me that this will be a teaser for a upcoming project that is in the works for new N scale products for this year or next year. P.S. I already filled the suggestion forms for the Bi-level commuter cars so I think it may soon be a reality?
Good video Rapido & Jeremy! I have to ask were I could find the same framed iconic photo of that CN switcher passing by a house. I also have to ask, what is a "Railroad of lies?"
"Railroad of Lies" has become Jeremy's running joke in reference to people who do freelance modeling. In other words, railroads that don't really exist.
You'll have to make do with Bachmann version with TCS Wow sound for now. Not sure if they are planning to release matching coaches and cab car later on but they might.
As if I couldn't wait for my go unit already, these look utterly fantastic
Thanks! We're pretty pleased with them.
Finaly you guys need to make some metra cars though
We've heard that from one or two people...
Yes, yes! I could easily see myself picking up a dozen of them.
Heck yes!! Waited patiently for over a year, but the time has finally come! Can't wait to run these sweet beauties on my layout with those flashy bi-levels (when they come). You nailed it Jeremy!
Good things come to those who wait!
Finally the Trinity Railway Express has HO Scale representation
It was about time!
@@rapidotrains Couldn't have said it better myself
You can never have too many trains!
👍
Thank you for sharing and producing these awesome locos. I hope that picture of the MP40 is like… an Easter egg or something.

We'll see what happens!
Yeah, I would love to see Rapido's take on the MPX series but, doesn't TLT (True Line Trains) still have a licence for the MPX locomotives?
Yes, looking forward to getting mine in a few weeks time.
They're shipping as we speak!
They are really nice looking locomotives
Thank you kindly!
Really love the TRE one! Can’t wait to get my hands on one. TRE owns 2 F40PHs now, locomotives 130 and 131. Y’all should make those locomotives in a future F40PH run.
It's been discussed!
You can tell that Jeremy enjoys doing HO scale videos a lot more than N scales product videos.
It's all an act!
Great video! Loved the camerawork, it was really professional and the steadiness of the camera allowed the highlighting of all those amazing details. Well done!
Wow, that's some high praise indeed. Thank you!
@@rapidotrains looking forward to seeing if I can secure a Metra unit! Glad you guys made those! Hopefully there will be some other Metra products in the works 😉
Awesome!
Thank you!
Looking forward to seeing this model in action!!
Just a matter of days!
Well done Rapido beautiful locos.
I can see them in N scale next.
GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
They'd look pretty sweet in N scale!
definitly gonna have to grab a metra Model.
Don't wait too long!
wonderful video
Thank you! Cheers!
These are amazing. Yall have to do a f59phi and a light rail series like LA Metro, DART, and Sound Transit next.
+1 for f59phi (including coaster) and light rail
That would be cool to do!
It would be a major upgrade over the Athearn RTR model.
Please do dart
Definitely getting one! Listen out for my review when it comes here!
We look forward to it!
@@rapidotrains check some of my other reviews I've done on you guys products!
TRE my f59 of choice. I live in Dallas and I see the TRE all of the time
👍
Excellent video of your HO F59PH. I can wait to receive my GO unit and the one set of BiLevel coaches.
Thank you very much!
@@rapidotrains Is there a chance that Rapido will release a GO F59PH in the newest/current Metrolinx paint scheme in a future run?
If GO does repaint them, for sure we'll look into it!
@@rapidotrains It would be neat if GO/Metrolinx decided to repaint/wrap a few select remaining F59PHs in their fleet for their next major anniversary.
Next what about a F59PHI?
We'll see what happens!
Door Closing announcement and Bombardier door Chime warning sound function would of been a nice feature to include on the DCC/Snd models. Perhaps it will be included on the DCC Sound add-on board for the Bi-Level cab coach?
Lol, "your railroad of lies"
We're not judging though!
im pretty sure that framed photo of the cn switcher on the wall behind the host.. is cn Oshawa line going to gm north plant this is where the line enters ritson rd
That's exactly where it is!
Was going to pull the trigger on the tre unit. I found 2 of F59phi units at a train show. I might still pick one up though. These look really good.
👍
can't wait to receive my TRE locos! Any idea when the bi level cars will be in?
These cars should be arriving by mid year as a rough estimate.
You're... "superbly adequate." Unique we'll say... 😂
👍
wow i remember the classic amt Amtrak Phase 3 style livery and who here remembers when the MI train unit came and the short lived Minimalist Blue and gray?
You can do it Matt Frewer! 😉😁 Yes, please do in N Scale! 😀👍
Hmmm...a Max Headroom bit might be a good idea...
Nice sharp looking units
Thanks 👍
Rapido makes NCDOT F59PH challenge (Impossible)
Might happen in the next run!
you guys gonna do the streamlined version in sound transit, surfliner, amtrak cascades, and metra paint schemes
At this time the F59PHI isn't in the works, but anything is possible in the future.
Rip our wallets. First we get the Amtrak Phase 3 F40phs, now these...
When it rains, it pours...
Will an NCDOT unit be done? I would love to see that!
Very possible in a future run!
@@rapidotrains That would be awesome! I live in NC, I'd be first in line to purchase one lol
Put me down for several NCDOTs!
I have a question can yall make an NCDOT one please because i would love to have that
Do the metrolink models have a prototypical nathan p2? Couldn't help but notice they're using a k5la instead unfortunatly since p2 are used 90% of the time.
“You forgot F59PHI”
👍
Thanks!

P.S. I already filled the suggestion forms for the Bi-level commuter cars so I think it may soon be a reality?
Not so much a teaser, more of a plea from Jeremy...
Why not in N scale?
Why not indeed?
Good video Rapido & Jeremy! I have to ask were I could find the same framed iconic photo of that CN switcher passing by a house.
I also have to ask, what is a "Railroad of lies?"
"Railroad of Lies" has become Jeremy's running joke in reference to people who do freelance modeling. In other words, railroads that don't really exist.
Jeremy got the print directly from John Vincent, the prolific rail photographer who shot it.
@@thetruckingrailfan4449 Hey thanks apprictate it.
@@rapidotrains Hey thanks!
The video is almost as good looking as your F59PHs are!
Thank you!
I want the simple strip Metrolink one
whens via rails new locomtoives they launched ocming?
Now that would be a cool model!
You'll have to make do with Bachmann version with TCS Wow sound for now. Not sure if they are planning to release matching coaches and cab car later on but they might.
Is there a white livery only Metrolink f49?
1:25
Those AMT F59PHs are the closest thing we'll ever get to an F59PH in something similar to Amtrak phase 3
It would have been cool to see Amtrak get these back in the 90s!
@@rapidotrains yes
With the E8 coming out, would there be a chance for E9 locomotives; including the FoT261 32A?
A definite possibility!
Why does the manual need to be witty? 😆😂
It's how we roll!
Sweet. Would love to see in N scale.
We do get a lot of requests for these in N
@@rapidotrains so far I've only got 2 Rapido locos but I would order 1.
I would like one F59PH in N scale to go with my athearn GO Transit coach.
We'll keep it in mind for the future!
❤️🚂😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
😁
Sooooo …. Who slept outside !?!
Impressive, bald one!
Thanks!
Now do a cascades f59phi and talgo set
That would be a fun project.
?? when will the the N scale version be out?????
Keep bombarding that product suggestion form!
I would have ordered a metra unit but sadly no one makes the cars *hint hint* (please make them) I’d definitely pick up an f40 tho in metra
Maybe one day!
Nice but way too new for 1960s PRR. Which by the way is a RR of lies based on a prototype so does that make it a RR of white lies?
Railroad of Plausibility?
Can I use the ex-go units for freight?
Certainly!
can we get B&O passenger set in n scale
It's possible!
Awesome models. I plan on picking up a unit this week. Do you guys plan on doing the 90's Tri-Rail F40PHL-2?
Not planned at the moment as the tooling is so unique, but anything is possible.
@@rapidotrains Hopefully y'all do it soon or at some point.
Can You Sell These In Walmart Online Store?
These aren't available through Walmart, but can be purchased through hobby shops or our website.
NEM Coupler Socket?
These have a standard #5 compatible coupler box.
Nice models. Will these models be available to buy in the UK?
These have already shipped, but if you contact Rapido UK they might be able to help you out: rapidotrains.co.uk/contact-us/
What's up with the gap on the rear pilot?
GMD included that under the draft gear for some reason on the prototypes.
@@rapidotrains well done, awesome
Do the dc have a dcc 8 pin
All of our DC models come with a 21 pin DCC socket.
Can I get a ex go transit number 18522 RBRX
Unlettered versions are available for modellers who want to customize their own: rapidotrains.com/ho-f59ph-dc-silent-ex-go-lease-unnumbered.html
You could also number it 18522 RPDX as well.
no nc scheme!?
Not in this release unfortunately. These would need new tooling for the nose and cab, but we'll be considering them for the next run.
we need metra bi levels made by rapido kato is stupid we need silver not pullman HO SCALE
maybe one day!
