It was a fun visit in Scottsdale tonight! It was a treat to meet you guys and it was cool talking trains (and Crown buses 😉👍) with you, Jason. And thanks to Jordan too, for answering all of our questions. If you guys can ever make it back to Arizona, I'm there!
Oh no! I hope they find the hoser who hosed you guys! Hopefully y'all can make it to Denver on the next bus tour! Stay safe and have fun! And take lots of breaks to stretch your legs! First!
So sorry to hear about this horrific situation. I hope the bus gets up and running as soon as possible. As an aside, i drove it when it was numbered 738 at Golden Gate Transit, and I currently own one of its younger siblings, albeit a T8H-5307A.
Yes it is a suburban new look. When I researched "new look bus" I found a channel called "@NewLookGMBus" and this bus is on that channel too. My question is, how did a Canadian bus get to Dreamliner Bus Leasing in Perris California? Do tours go there from the west coast border entry?
Oh crap and in California of all places. It’s going to cost more money to fix it in Cali than any other state. Good luck on the rest of the trip! I had the pleasure of meeting the Rapido team last year at The Springfield show. Highly recommend anyone close to one of the stops to meet the team. You won’t regret it. More Seaboard System B36-7’s please. 😉
It was great to meet Jason and the Rapido crew here at Dreamliner Bus Leasing & Services here in Perris, California. Owner, Loren Joplin, and myself worked tirelessly to try and repair the damage done by the sabateur in Montebello. ua-cam.com/play/PL9HVGkM-tNZFUopB1Yu06AtjQ1VipSewm.html&si=-eINZj1KAmF8XuRb😊
****** First thing we’re going to do when we get the coach back is inspect every flexible air intake hose between the air cleaner and the engine. If any are defective they should be replaced before it moves an inch.
@@rapidotrains Thanks, I will have a workable plan to get there and maybe see some sights. Now if you decide to go north to the bay area I can more easily be there.
Golly, the nerve of some people that would go that far to do such a thing to your bus! It's very unfortunate that that happened! But other then that I hope the engine gets fixed and you guys have safe travels to Chicago!
I am so sorry for you guys, what a bummer.. You definitely have something on your hands there to be proud of. I am sorry that you wont be able to showcase her as you had planned. Hoping you all will still be able to make the Flint Stop, if no, totally understand. Might Be a good excuse to Drive her across a bridge or an under the water tunnel to get back into the mitten sometime at a later date. Please say hello to my cousin Crazy Jimmy if you happen across him whilst there in California. Safe travels. Keep the sunny side up and the rubber side down! ~B. Kelly
FYI, my cousin Jimmy actually lives in Allendale, MI and is not crazy at all. Just hoping to make you chuckle a tad. You all have given us so much to laugh at over the years. Sometimes its the best medicine in situations like this. I wish you all the best!
I used to ride those old GO buses to school every day. That one would have still been in service when I was a kid, they started replacing them in my early teens.
Quote from my buddy Brian Kimmel from First National Financial circa 2010 "when I see a man driving a mini-van, I see a man who has given up." Don't give up!
Me too, Tony. I've been working on the Rapido bus since it was just a plain white bus (ua-cam.com/video/Ce0BnxN3wdk/v-deo.htmlsi=zzSKIbMhAmWnLDoc) and my heart is broken over this sad act of vengeance. It's going to work out though. Check out this video of Jason and Loren strategizing over getting the Rapido bus to Canada for the Summer: ua-cam.com/video/fYuq_gr7fsY/v-deo.html
Custom orders can be arranged providing they meet the minimum factory requirements for production. Your best bet is to send us an email using the contact form on the website for more info.
Hi Maurice Mike here, from Dreamliner Bus Leasing; we sold the bus to Jason. I guess the best answer to your question is to show you the video I took when we happened upon the deserted paint shop...gates wide open and all: ua-cam.com/video/hxRGLaujOsI/v-deo.htmlsi=_ESLRVmrpPsvMNoI
Well that sucks. Sorry to hear of your mechanical misfortune. (Now you need to figure out which of the Rapidoheads REALLY didn't want to go international on a GM bus.)
Better than a Chevy Tahoe! We have one as our yard van. Didn't even put 30,000 miles on it before the engine needed overhauling! I'd take one of these Chrysler mini vans over that thing any day of the week!
People can be such ass holes. Sorry someone had the nerve to sabotage the bus engine. Whoever does the repairs have them Make sure the oil bath air filters are not contaminated too
So sad because this was the bus that was fixing to make me leave the house and fight LA traffic. Now you guys might be cool but not that cool. There were other issues but the was the big draw for me. Now if you had announced that Janet was going to be there then I would have found a way.
Its gonna be nice to see you at lombard. Im sorry fellas I missed the part someone ruined the bus I was doing something and didnt pay attention until th is morning.. Too many evil people today. Sorry guys
What a bummer. I don't understand why people damage things like this.

Sorry to hear about the bus, Guys! Good Luck and Drive Safely
It was good to meet you gentlemen in Scottsdale this evening. Talking model trains, never gets old.
Sorry, hard to imagine why someone would do such a thing. Hope your tour is the best ever, be safe.
I'm really sorry to hear that the bus was vandalized. Not fair... I hope the trip is still a good one. Really sorry guys...
Oh no! I hope they find the hoser who hosed you guys! Hopefully y'all can make it to Denver on the next bus tour!
Stay safe and have fun! And take lots of breaks to stretch your legs!
First!

You guys should bring that bus to Milford, New York. Touch a Train day at Cooperstown Charlotte valley railroad. August 3rd 2024.
Roll Uuuuup! Roll up for the minivan tour!
The Rapido Trains Mini-van tour is waiting to take you away!
Just posting to ask if the minivan will be made in N scale?????! HELLLLLLP!
Not stopping you. That's great! Have a wonderful time!
That SUCKS. I'm so sorry for you guys. And a suburban New Look at that ... damit

I am hoping that some day Rapido Trains will do a tour on the west coast again but with the bus in it's full glory.
We'll be back!
@@rapidotrains Thanks, I will have a workable plan to get there and maybe see some sights. Now if you decide to go north to the bay area I can more easily be there.
Aw, bummer! Hope you still have a great tour and I'll still try to pop by and say hello in Flint!
Man, thats brutal, guys! Safe travels!
Golly, the nerve of some people that would go that far to do such a thing to your bus! It's very unfortunate that that happened! But other then that I hope the engine gets fixed and you guys have safe travels to Chicago!
I'm sorry to hear this!
hello Jordan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Jordan & Friends Randy
Best wishes with the engine work!!
Sorry to hear, safe travels!
You guys are awesome no matter what you drive!
Fingers crossed that I will meet you all again near KC on Saturday!
I feel for you guys. That's going to be an expensive fix for the Rapido gang but at least you have a Pacifica to go between the sites.

See you in Belen!
Aww man, huge bummer on the engine, but man the bus looks beautiful!
That stinks to replace the engine on the bus.
As an American, I am very sorry that you encountered someone that ruined your bus. Hopefully you can get that problem sorted out in some fashion.
Pride of Windsor! Yes.
I used to ride those old GO buses to school every day. That one would have still been in service when I was a kid, they started replacing them in my early teens.
Wow, what awful news for the bus. You guys must be devastated. What a stupid 😢 thing for someone to do, sand.
Where's Janet?
Sorry someone would do that. Bring it back by train and get it fixed here 🇨🇦.
Man, that suuuuucks! I was really looking forward to seeing that thing in KC! Hhhhh…
Sorry to hear that guys. ☹️
Well... On the bright side, you're gonna save a boat load on fuel cost. 😅
Bummer
Look on the bright side, at least the van will be more reliable, and you’ll get better mileage per gallon.
And it was quite a bit faster too. Otherwise we would have been late for each event. 😆
Quote from my buddy Brian Kimmel from First National Financial circa 2010 "when I see a man driving a mini-van, I see a man who has given up." Don't give up!
Well, shucks. Since it was in the care of a shop, will their insurance be footing the bill?
are u guys gonna make the new vial rail lcomotives they launched?
I feel gutted for you guys, that’s awful… 😢
Me too, Tony.

I wish I could have gone to La but I have school and I’m so close too I live in Anaheim. I’m so sad
Where and when are you going to be in the Chicagoland area
Wichita, Kansas?
It is sad that someone would do that to someone's property.
Replaced or in frame rebuild? Those Detroits are hard to kill.
Terrible news guys. If you can make it to St Louis let me know. Santa Fe Railroaders
I want one of these but as a Shorty Bus
It was vandalized in California, or it took that long for the engine to fail?
Hey rapido, when are you going to make the CTA 3200 series cars
Where can I see the tour schedule? I'm hopping with United all week. Like to pick up a sample and talk "HO Scale bulldozers".
Man....a D11R broken down for shipping on a flatcar would be sweet! But also a fully assembled one for mine work. 👍
Unrelated question, but do you guys accept custom orders for your model trains?
Custom orders can be arranged providing they meet the minimum factory requirements for production. Your best bet is to send us an email using the contact form on the website for more info.
I feel awful someone did that. Hope it's covered by insurance
Didn't the paint shop keep it locked up inside a building? I hope the police were called. Good luck on your trip.
Hi Maurice

ua-cam.com/video/hxRGLaujOsI/v-deo.htmlsi=_ESLRVmrpPsvMNoI
Why don't you use your rdc
Very sorry to hear you have experienced the very worst America has to offer. I am disgusted by such behavior and apologize. What is wrong with us?
Well that sucks. Sorry to hear of your mechanical misfortune. (Now you need to figure out which of the Rapidoheads REALLY didn't want to go international on a GM bus.)
A Chrysler? Good luck, you'll need it
Better than a Chevy Tahoe! We have one as our yard van. Didn't even put 30,000 miles on it before the engine needed overhauling! I'd take one of these Chrysler mini vans over that thing any day of the week!
That's a big bummer indeed.
What about touring with 3380 and travel westward instead??
that bus only goes 50 MPH and would take longer to get to their destinations and would make the trip really hard.
Moment of silence for the Detroit 😢
i hope you are kidding about someone putting sand in the fuel tank.
You should make the mrbeast train
People can be such ass holes. Sorry someone had the nerve to sabotage the bus engine. Whoever does the repairs have them
Make sure the oil bath air filters are not contaminated too

At the paint shop? Hm. Probably someone didn't protect the engine and/or fuel tank opening while sand blasting. That stuff gets E.VRY.WHERE.
We're thinking that could be a possibility
Its gonna be nice to see you at lombard. Im sorry fellas I missed the part someone ruined the bus I was doing something and didnt pay attention until th is morning.. Too many evil people today. Sorry guys
