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.
+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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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. :)
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 UA-cam. There are two tours of it. The newer tour.
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!
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)
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 .
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.
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?
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 ,,
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
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 🚂
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
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 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.
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.

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
James, totally cool video. i can't believe the great coach in the basement.

Fantastic, so cool! Thank you James and Jason for a "behind the scenes" view. Very interesting!
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.
Jason has an extremely long epic winded saga for every average story.
Very interesting video, very nice, thank you James!
Congratulations to Jason and crew, your models are awesome!

I concur those are genuine sounds especially the vestibule sound.
A very enjoyable video!! Thank you for sharing!!
Have fun at Cedar Point. My all time favorite theme park with real working coal driven steam locomotives!
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!
What a great guy, so much enthusiasm. The t-shirts are spot on.
I thoroughly enjoyed it !! Thank you very much !

Wish I could work for a boss that was as nerdy, passionate and animated as Jason.
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.
Excellent video! Definitely enjoyed watching it.
Jason is the man. We need more Jason's in this industry.

Great video with a really wonderful guy committed to model railroading.
Looks like a very fun time there James. Love the basement setup he has there. Bring me back a Nerd shirt XLarge.
WoW I love the Moller Mac :)
That is a very very rare computer now
Nice video! Nice to see behind the scenes at Rapido!
Awesome tour!

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?
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.
Just two words - AWWWW SOMEEEEEE
Thanks for sharing...
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.
Best rolling stock "Bachmann".

• Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway 🚂
Suprised he dont have it all built on SAY a moble home chasis so he could have it move, shake, accelerate, decelerate With sound added
Per Jason' Comments>>>. How about building a Pennsy Congressional /Senator (at least the Obs and Tavern Lounge )--not offered by Walthers?
Thanks James!
37:42 someone's thrilled to be sitting next to Jason!
What a super fun day :-)
Great video James.
Jason Shron must be a real trip to hang out with.
Did you visit George's trains? I was there in July.
No darn it...it was right there too!
My god he actually has a train in his basement.
What an awesome guy!
Seems like a real nerd! I dig it.

Same foam we use in boats aluminum ones seem to work best.
I’m a bus nerd and specialise on Northern Irish busses
Pretty good video
Welcome to my country
500 ton hammerhead crane has a brake exactly like the train car in basement
Nice you should do an interview of broadway limited imports
im very impressed with RAPIDO TRAINS the people r decanted ill look into the trains.

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!

Where can I get a model train mezuzah like that (door frame at 2:48)?
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.
Jason's OK!!!

I am buying one of those T-shirts!
Want to get one of that T Shirt. Cool!
37:21 speaking of the devil. Lol.
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.
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.
How do Rapido and Kato compare?
Were do we get a tee shirt that is way to kool
tell that guy I can sell his nerd shirts quickly. (only problem is they won't be going to model railroad enthusiasts)
Id ware one its cool!
God bless our Executive Vice-President
cool
Why does the proto paint cost more in canada despite rapido being a canadian company? Grrrr!!
Canada!
I'd buy a Century C424.
What's their policy on tours like that?
Hey jlwii2000 i have a Bachmannn F7 HO scale engine and i accidentally ran the motor out do you know where i can get a new motor
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!
