[@1Nanerz]

Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. I remember going to Jason’s house just to get my new resin LRC cars.

[@SCAustin]

Those cars are lovely. Takes me back! Congratulations on 20 years!

[@TheAreotrain]

Congrats on 20 years! It has been a wild ride, thankfully not in the Penn Central way either.

[@mamarussellthepie3995]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my fellow train nerds! 😊

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you!! 😁

[@remsterrailroading2679]

Tell Bill to fire Scotty since he can’t beam him to the proper destination! Yes a Star Trek reference we’re all nerds and dorks around here lol 😂

[@rapidotrains]

He's been reassigned to plasma relay room on Deck 15.

[@amtraklover]

Congrats on 20 years! Hoping you guys do the Burlington Northern executive scheme again in the future for these cars

[@jakeimhotep4866]

References to The Friendly Giant and SCTV in the same video - that's a beauty. Way to go!

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

you know, I've only recently stumbled across your channel in my hunt for go transit coaches, but I gotta say, you guys are probably my favourite model company just in terms of how much passion you throw into your product and videos. star trek references are appreciated!

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Ok go Winnipeg Jets , you bring out the cars I need might change to Montreal

[@randydobson1863]

hello Rapidotrains & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks & Rapidotrains & Friends Randy

[@CSXFan5496]

Happy 20th Anniversary! Congratulations!

[@lukestevens8735]

Good to see an appearance from Mike McGrattan. Much missed!

[@rapidotrains]

He is still sorely missed!

[@doge_sevens]

congratulations on 20 years! i will be buying both of those special edition cars aswell as the canadian pacific lightweights to go with 2816...

[@ricardlupus]

You guys are completely bonkers - love it! Happy 20th! (Did Dan really drop a passenger car somewhere in the wilderness...?)

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you! We're still trying to locate Dan

[@3367Brian]

I love the humor you people have It would be awesome to work there I always love watching you KZbin videos you always make me laugh and put me a good mood thank you

[@mikelight]

Congratulations! And heres to the next 20 years. 🎉

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you!

[@jeremyjohnson457]

I think the one thought that everybody's thinking what the heck happened to the car he was holding when he was transported into the field?

[@brandongaines1731]

I'm sure that they picked it up after he dropped it, yelled, "Shrooooooooonnnnnnn!!!" and walked away lol.

[@DarkpawTheWolf]

As Fry said on Futurama...."Shut up and take my money." These will sell fast. There's nothing about them on the website yet......oh, no.

[@DarkpawTheWolf]

My bad, the link is in the video. :)

[@rapidotrains]

These are selling quite well!

[@williamcragg2145]

Great to see Janet back

[@mattomon1045]

more Janet

[@rapidotrains]

Always!

[@StarwarsFannick]

Happy anniversary ripido, and here's to 20.

[@justn2trains]

I always like your videos, happy anniversary!🎉

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you so much!!

[@oregonwprrmodeler]

The best thing about Rapido trains are the people. I love your videos. Occasionally I love one of your products! Keep up the great work for the next 20 years.

[@evileyeball]

I wish I had the Time and space to have a model train layout but at present the time/Space/Money doesn't allow it so I follow people like you and the many other train related youtubers to live vicariously until such time as I get to a point in my life where the money/time/space allows. I found you when I heard about the Icons of Canadian Steam series If I could get my hands on a 2860 and a 2816 and a 2850 and a 2858 and a 2839 and a 5935 and a 5931 and As weird as it might seem a 6060 (I say wierd because it would be the only non CP in the set) Before my life is over I would be a happy man... I'm 40 now so I have some time.

[@brandongaines1731]

The 1701/8 "Rapido" might actually look good pulling a pike-sized passenger consist of both Rapido anniversary cars, now that I think of it! LoL "Pike"-sized! Love it when puns just work themselves out!

[@edtoomuchfun957]

You guys are dorks. Thank you, this was awesome to watch and probably twice as much fun to make.

[@shnorth888]

This is great news. Happy Anniversary Rapido.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks!

[@darenhamill9881]

Hi🎉

[@kennethbean1587]

Love these cars but, will you be doing a HEP underbody version for us modern modelers? Plleeaassee!!

[@Wawa111_Mainline]

now when you guys going to make frisco 1630 I know their is a lot of demain for a highly detailed one that actually can pull a bunch

[@AndrewUnderwood-sm7qd]

What a bunch of hosers, eh? Loved the video and it was nice to see Mike in there! Congrats on 20 years!

[@stuartaaron613]

Jason is a meshugganah! However, nice deal on the cars.

[@mels1811]

Awesome and congratulations with 20 years 🙂

[@stoveapple]

Hey rapido, when are you going to do the CTA 3200 series cars

[@waynemiller7382]

Will you be including the Kansas City Southern passenger cars? To note Rapido trains Inc. has not released any KCS cars/ rolling stock (has never released any locomotives ever) since the passenger cars way back when...

[@rapidotrains]

Not in this release, but anything is possible in the future!

[@jeffmurphree2937]

Do you know what would be really special to celebrate 20 years? Announcing an O SCALE model!!!!

[@rapidotrains]

😅

[@Daniel_1978]

Happy birthday Rapido@ 😃🎆🎉❤😊

[@VintageRenewed]

Are any of those cars in the current CP heritage fleet and thus used behind 2816?

[@rapidotrains]

The two coaches and the E-sleeper are still part of CP's executive fleet today

[@cmdrflake]

Weird.

[@rapidotrains]

Sounds about right

[@robertprice7246]

Very weird ! Would love to work here !

[@kcsthebetterway]

In the helix! That is, my nightmare 😂

[@hoodtrampoline84]

[@brucemacdonald4672]

[@Zebrails]

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

[@FierroDuroRails]

Happy anniversary... Love the product love your hilarious videos.... Cant wait to see you crazy Canadians at Lombard hobbies soon. Btw eveytime I see your Star trek reference I always remember the movie fanboys😂.... I mean no offense just thought it was a funny movie.

[@IsaacAmadeo]

Happy anniversary! 🎉

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you!

[@plaws0]

OMG. Shout-outs to Friendly Giant *and* Monster Chiller Horror Theater (those 3D glasses cost me 26 bucks!) AND TNG S5 ...

[@matthewposthumus3885]

Congrats! Here's to another 20 years! Hey, those 10-5s would look great in CR (city of Youngstown) behind your pending E8s :-) (Also nudge to the ribs for nysw E9s as always)

[@syeet1234]

The Conrail and Csx cars don’t appear to be on the website?

[@rapidotrains]

Right here! rapidotrains.com/ho-scale/passenger-car/super-continental-new-run.html?product_list_limit=48

[@JeffShultz]

I was waiting to see the cat go to Canada... and just wondering at Bill's fuel bill...

[@rottenroads1982]

I think their should be a Playlist. A playlist specifically for the Alco FA/FB & PA/PB Units.

[@andychandler153]

you guys have way too much fun! May your tribe increase. Blessings, Andy Chandler

[@syeet1234]

To bad you guys didn’t do Conway scenic lightweight coaches, those would’ve sold like hotcakes

[@jgodfrey546]

Happy 20th !

[@scotabot7826]

Hey Janet!!!!! Congrats Guys!!!! Love your products. Top of the line!!

[@scottsnuverink2403]

The theme from the Friendly Giant. I remember watching that show in Michigan out of Windsor channel 9.

[@rapidotrains]

It was a classic!

[@chris4321das]

🌟⭐⭐C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S 🌟🌟⭐⭐ You are a credit to this country! 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

[@Wawa111_Mainline]

when are those cars releaseing I pre ordered 2 of the anivercery cars

[@rapidotrains]

Likely sometime in 2025. Stay tuned for updates!

[@CSXrailfan814]

Can't believe it took you been here for 20 years and were just now getting the n scale RDC. Congrats.

[@moisesbursztein2830]

Congratulations on the 20th anniversary! Mazel Tov!

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Ok I want the center dome car American Spirit,, but these will help me get bigger train

[@SongsOfPeteDonovan]

No Ontario Northland coaches?? 😥 Nonetheless I’m ecstatic about the Super Continental coaches coming back!!! 😍

[@rapidotrains]

Ontario Northland had a fleet of the Dayniter coaches, but we'd like to bring those back in a future run too!

[@oneastrails]

Poor Janet, now you have really assimilated her with that Star Trek outfit. She is still the cutest one at Rapido, though that isn't much of a contest with you lot. Thankfully you are rereleasing the Coach, I'm woefully short of those. Was worried for a second when you showed two sleepers first, thought the third might be Daynighters. Thanks for the reminder that my dozen or so Super Continental cars were purchased for 60 bucks CDN each.

[@rapidotrains]

Aside from Janet, most of us are a woeful looking bunch

[@rayronvr]

awesome! finally get to grab the MP coaches! Now just need those PA units to match lol.

[@rapidotrains]

For sure! The MoPac PA's are just about to enter production.

[@superdominic64official]

its funny if the kids still say first now they can't

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Great video wish list just got bigger

[@RFMCabooseNP1713]

You crack me up. Congrats on 20 years. Keep the great products coming.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks so much!

[@trainglen22]

Defiant? I thought that you would at least use the Runabout Fraiser or the Enterprise?

[@rapidotrains]

Jason has been rewatching DS9 lately. 😅

[@richardsweeney197]

How can you be twenty years old, you look so young!! Where did he drop that new car??😃

[@rapidotrains]

We think it's still out there in the field 😆

[@caboosech]

A good 20 year run for your guys money

[@trainglen22]

Yes! Better running trucks on the Super Continental line of passenger cars!

[@rapidotrains]

Yes! These will be the same as the retooled trucks we used on the CN dining car a few years back

[@trainboyyy4312]

I am so exited for these! Congratulations on 20 years, and cheers to the next 20.

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you!

[@Quince828]

I ❤ my new Rapido F7! Can’t wait to add some nice coaches behind it.

[@rapidotrains]

Awesome!

[@154Colin]

You people are nuts - a good kind of nuts... I think? 🤣🤣 Anyways. Here's to 20 more years of unabated hijinks. 👍👍.

[@rapidotrains]

Thank you! Nuts is what we do best.

[@nickmonda738]

[@gonebamboo4116]
