I've always loved the Rapid Transit HWs trains. They are definitely a hidden gem of the HW's world. Maybe they'll release them again but if not, they will be rare and difficult to collect. Please make some more videos with these trains!

I don’t know if anybody mentioned this, but the Hot Wheels Rapid Transit train series shares the same coupling design as the Thomas Adventures trains of the time, thus making that Thomas line Hot Wheels compatible. Kevin Cao did the same thing for the Loco Motorin casting that was made for the Thomas & Friends 75th anniversary... that casting is compatible with the later Thomas Push Along series of trains. The coupling designs on both of those examples were never meant for each other.. they were meant to be compatible with the Thomas & Friends lines of the times... Neat stuff!

@catvoncrimson66611 ай бұрын
I love seeing the real world inspirations for each of them. My favorites being the west coast flyer being based on the New York Central Railroad Class J3a 4-6-4 steam locomotives, The Great Scot and Super Streamliner being based on two amazing British steam locomotives that need no introduction The Great Scot = Flying Scotsman Super Streamliner = Northorn A4 Pacific trains aka the Mallard. Oh and one more being Steam Blaster which is Based on Stephensons Rocket one of the earliest Steam locomotives.

Real life basis' for some engines. Great Scot = LNER A3 Flying Scotsman. Wild Ride: GWR Pannier Tank. Super Streamliner = LNER A4 Tender Engine. West Coast Flyer = NYC Hudson Class. Steam Blaster = Stephensons Rocket. Super Stoker: I don't know if this is true, but it's either an E2 tank engine or a Jinty.

Correct me if I'm wrong but given how Mattel also owns the merch rights to Thomas the tank engine they repurposed the couplings off of these specific Hot Wheels engines in 2017 and put them on the diecast Thomas and Friends engines.

I hope these get rereleased. I don’t know if they were, but maybe they could’ve sold better if they were advertised to railfans, I sure would’ve looked for them if I knew they were a thing. Now that I do know these were around, I hope to find some, I really like Steam Blaster (Even if it is one of the slowest, accurate). I did recently get the 2024 West Coast Flyer. Maybe they could make a set with Trouble Decker and Wild Ride, train vs bus vs bridge.
