Thanks!

[@daniellucas6573]

I just purchased one of your FP-7 locomotives! I chose Rapido over the Athearn version, well because Rapido just has a better product. Plus Rapido passenger coaches seems to track better.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks a lot!

If the real company is anything like the video then it must be a truly magical place to work. 😀

Thanks! Apart from some of the more extreme hijinks, it is a pretty accurate representation. It is a fun place to work.

Wow! I wish I had to design on 3d for you, seems a great place to work haha great video! 😁

[@99Duds]

Its amazing how much detail you can squeeze on to a model these days. Also you guys put a lot of effort into them and still have time to make movies and have fun, crazy. I'm a bit to far away to help repair locos, but dam it would be an honor! Edit: fixed spelling errors.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks a lot!

[@Tshasta4449]

You guys crack me up. You must have a serious moment, otherwise none of those incredibly detailed models would get off the drawing board, aka: computer

[@rapidotrains]

Occasionally... 😄

[@mattsmocs3281]

I’d kill to work for them but being assimilated by the borg and cybermen at the same time doesn’t sound like a good idea

[@rapidotrains]

You'll get better.... 😆

[@RWSBaden]

Hilarious and I thought I was the only model railroader who's also a Star Trek nerd. I love it, "When I'm not sleeping in the front of the office when Jason's not looking" and Roslyn the Borg Queen, love it. 🤣 . You guys are great, with some of the best model railroad models on the planet. Thanks guys for the tour and I really like that rotary phone on Jason's desk, our family had a similar one when I was a kid. If you're ever looking for a new N scale project, how about a GE U28B (with the U25B carbody and slanted low hood) in P&LE paint? Oh yeah, the Southern Pacific, Rock Island and Milwaukee Road had them too, but I think the P&LE's were the first ones built and they looked sweet in the "New Image" paint scheme 😉 Cheers, Rich S.

[@rapidotrains]

Not a bad idea....

[@philocohen]

By the way, lystra didn't actually quit. She's in another (newer) video.

[@rapidotrains]

She's still a key member of the team!

[@fredrich9841]

You guys always look like you’re having a lot of fun! 🙂 Any plans for anything new British outline in OO in the near future?

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks! We are doing more British stuff with our partners in the UK but we're not bringing out our own UK models until the political situation calms down in the UK.

[@ricardlupus]

I'm not sure what scares me more ... that I could actually imagine myself fixing model trains for a living or that I knew full well that that was a cyberman's head in Jason's' office. :-)

[@rapidotrains]

Uh... I moved my head from home so now there are TWO Cyber heads in my office... -Jason 😆

[@ricardlupus]

@@rapidotrains I think you should name them Grab Iron and Handles. :-)

[@GlennGinsburg]

I would be very interested to know if you are making HO RDC’s how difficult is it to convert spec’s to produce N scale RDC’s??

[@rapidotrains]

We have received many requests. We are considering it...

[@Grainexpress]

Jordan, I am so glad you guys are doing the GE B36-7's! I made this video from 1987 of the Seaboard System tote boats at Emison in Southwest Indiana. Yours will look great on my tote train on the layout. I have 2 ordered! kzbin.info/www/bejne/anbZhGWXpbujZqs

[@rapidotrains]

MAN OH MAN! That was a fabulous video!

[@mattsmocs3281]

I realized Jason is looking at the comments... he needs a raise and some brass LRCs

[@rapidotrains]

How about a Turbo with working doors and steps?

[@mattsmocs3281]

rapidotrains now your talking the good stuff, with all lights possible for the model?

[@midrange18]

Hey Jordan smith, ceo and president of rapido trains. Please do me a favour and tell that Jason guy that I am skilled with model train repairs, love to learn and willing to do what it takes to become part of the rapido family. What’s that? Locate to Toronto. That can happen. Sadly though other times I applied I never heard back, so I’m stuck here on the Kingston sub devision here in Belleville still looking for a long term career. So sad. Lol. Great vid. Check out my KZbin. Long over due for a new vid, but still into... trains!

[@rapidotrains]

Please get in touch again...

[@christopherkingsland4604]

What a bunch of crazy Canucks!! LOL!

[@rapidotrains]

Yeah we're hoseheads, eh?

[@JBS319]

Why did it take me this long to realize you had the LRC cars behind an FL9? Maybe if you guys save 484 out of Orford Express you can see this in real life (please save 484, we can't lose any more FL9s)

[@rapidotrains]

We have enough trouble paying for our current cars, but we hope that the FL9 will be preserved.

[@MarkHenstridge]

I think you could do with an Australian employee.

[@scotabot7826]

These are for sure the guys I want designing and manufacturing my scale trains. Best scale realism and quality money can buy, bar none. See you Hosers later. Thanks for the cool video!!!!! Good Day.
