Seeing vids like this I got to wonder about y’alls sanity 😂, but y’all keep coming out with quality models so it seems to be working, keep em coming!

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

I've purchased and received my three Missouri Pacific Budd Slumbercoach models. I LOVE the underbody detail. They're GORGEOUS! 🥰

[@alex-pd9bb]

Rapido never fails to make good models!

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you!

[@154Colin]

You all have a wonderful sense of humor you use during you product videos. 👍👍😂😂

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you 😁

[@dougalexander5871]

Rode one (ex-CB&Q) in 1972 from Chicago to Seattle. Surprisingly comfortable. Took a photo of the sunset from the vestibule that’s won awards.

[@rapidotrains]

Cool!

[@robingagnon9659]

Breakfast Club :) my cult movie when I was young. Finally another funny video, great work on that car too!

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks!

[@loispadgett6306]

You guy just make it fun to watch your videos because you never know what's going to happen. Nice car N scale next? GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks! 👍. We do have more N scale project on the way soon.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

You guys are making brass look more passe by the day! Good job! Now, if we could just get a 1938 Hiawatha set.... 😁

[@rapidotrains]

That would be cool!

[@amtraklover]

We have the 1:1 scale model of this at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, Ga so yeah I'm definitely getting one of these

[@rapidotrains]

Awesome!

[@dougalexander5871]

“…your railroad of lies”! Brilliant!

[@rapidotrains]

😂

[@iannarita9816]

Having fun with trains!!

[@rapidotrains]

[@DerpyPossum]

“…For your custom railroad of *lies.”* lmao

[@bc5441]

I have a custom railroad of lies! A friend called it a fake railroad; I’m not sure which is better…

[@odess4sd4d]

Was the section of the staggered rooms really like that? Or did they fit together with some overlap? Seems like there would have been no point in the floor level difference.

[@deanpurcell7771]

You guys need to design a display case for your passenger cars that holds them upside down 😁😁

[@rapidotrains]

Great idea!

[@MrPedroramos8911]

Beautifully made cars Thanks for sharing

[@rapidotrains]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mels4796]

wonderful video

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks for watching!

[@mgr_video_productions]

When Jason entered the video 😂😂😂

[@BritishRail60062]

Looks like a nice model in my opinion. Sadly the wrong era for me. Please keep up the great work on the models.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks, will do!

[@plaws0]

It's so cool when turbo-nerds (see what I did there?) can pour all their passion into these products and be successful at it. And make fantastic videos. And explain things that I never knew like the air (presumably brake air) being used to make water come up from the tanks to the taps.

[@plaws0]

Also ... Ni!

[@WhitePineSub]

Great video, but Josh, if you aren’t Jason… who are you?

[@rapidotrains]

He's still trying to figure that out!

[@cartographer29]

I am accepting any and all suggestions about who I am. Apply within!

[@germantanker131johnny2]

You guys are way too funny! Keep up the good work!

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you! Will do!

[@shauntakata1762]

So if the train was stopped for an extended time and the batteries ran out the AC would stop working? Lights? Toilets would not work?

[@rapidotrains]

In theory yes, but it would have to be sitting parked for a very long time.

[@chrisbrewer5789]

Once again great product guys keep up the good work

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks! Will do!

[@BNGreen1970]

Looks like like an amazing car. I have 1 on pre-order. Hoping they will do more North Coast Limited cars.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks! We'd like to do more in the future.

[@goodtobehandy]

No falling asleep on that coach video 😂

[@ruez]

Rapido, rerelease the HO scale Budd coach, please.

[@rapidotrains]

👍

[@509brown]

Love it!

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks!!

[@Railroadfan5383]

One Josh and 1 Jason were hurt with a chicken during the making of this film. Also what did Josh say before he got hit? Lol

[@cartographer29]

No knowledge. Also the rubber chicken is in intensive care after the incident.

[@dwrb321]

Will there be future HEP versions?

[@rapidotrains]

Not planned at this time. Unfortunately tooling the modifications would be quite expensive.

[@frankhellman6879]

Budd Slumbercoach. Didn't he play Sherlock Holmes? English guy, right? BTW, congrats for making the first model railroad car that's best diplayed upside down. 🙃

[@rapidotrains]

Sounds about right! 😂

[@oneastrails]

Shame CP or VIA never ordered these. I really would love one.

[@rapidotrains]

CP reportedly almost did, but didn't follow through with the order.

[@amfan_17presentations87]

AAAhhhh! I sooo must have one on my HO Scale Silver Meteor!!

[@rapidotrains]

Great!

[@amfan_17presentations87]

[@VINCENTH8]

GREAT DETAIL.

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@fredrick5152]

Nice!

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks!

[@J3scribe]

Makes me want to model in HO. I only wish I could afford to.

[@jordonfreeman166]

“Railroad of lies.” Yeah, tell that to Allen McClellan, Tony Koester, John Allen, and John Armstrong, among others.

[@rapidotrains]

We did a fun video with Tony a few years back, great guy!

[@jordonfreeman166]

@@rapidotrains I just got the June 2022 issue of Model Railroader a few days ago. Great job on the article on your layout.

[@Wawa111_Mainline]

I think my dog told me I should get one she heard the chicken and perked up
