Rapido visits the Conrail Onondaga Cutoff in HO Scale

[@tristschannel5611]

Always get a kick out of these videos, and was also great to have Tony in one.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks! And Tony was a star! 😁

[@wolfen216]

I’ll admit the enterprise LRC looks amazing.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks!

[@douglasnorth4703]

Star Trek LRC brain child of Mike McGrattan RIP...he would have loved this video!

[@ecoRfan]

Before the pandemic I was a regular there for years. Definitely look forward to going back again.

[@rapidotrains]

As do we!

[@RWSBaden]

Great looking layout Dave, thank you for the tour. Plus a super hilarious video, thanks for sharing it Jason, Janet and Dan. And WOW, just WOW, Janet is scoring some real points with all the New York Central, Conrail and Reading knowledge, you go Janet 👍 Cheers, Rich S.

[@rapidotrains]

Glad you liked it and thanks for the kind words!

[@tracksidefilms5416]

These are the best types of model railroad videos yet

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks!

[@nsfantodd]

Dave's layout is awesome!! As is Tony's also!! Thanks Jason and everyone at Rapido for a fun video and your excellent products!

[@rapidotrains]

You are most welcome!

[@RailserveJohn]

I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard in a Model Railroad Video.... You guys are awesome.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@j.j.foster7002]

Great video...you guys are the best. Janet's knowledge of the Onondaga was encyclopaedic! You'd almost think she was coached by Dave! LOL. I enjoyed seeing the Morristown & Erie C424s. Illinois Railway Museum just acquired #18, although it will be returned to original TP&W livery. In any event...well done on the video!

[@northjerseyrailfan9326]

Love the humor and this is in my home state!

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[@CSXGirl822]

I also love Dash 8's! In fact the Rapido Draper Taper (that apparently some people complained about the lack of details on...) one is my first Rapido locomotive and is one of my best running HO locomotives, even on plain DC! I would not be opposed to another run of them though if it ever happened. :D

[@rapidotrains]

Glad you like it! If we ever do another run, we would add some more stuff to it....

[@SCL3618]

"Super detailed Dash 8's..." Might as well take my money, first run Dash 8 and B36-7 (on order) need another BCOL running mate! ;) Great video guys!

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks!

[@djas94]

Mmm Dash 8...nope, LRC. Doh! Well played Shron 😂. Great video and quick layout tour. Nice you added that Tony fellow. A legend indeed. Also great to see Janet in the biz, bringing diversity and different perspective. Keep up great work “guys”. Dave

[@rapidotrains]

Glad you like it and thanks for the compliments!

[@brandonnawrocki9004]

Super Detailed HO Dash 8. Probably a good idea.

[@rapidotrains]

We agree.

[@Zach_Bloomquist]

I second this.

[@peterandben]

This is unfairly well-made. The bar was back there a ways...

[@CatHeadKnows53]

Fun video! I hadn't seen it before. And, one point of correction for Dave Abeles (which may have already been commented on elsewhere, sorry if I'm repeating) - the DeWitt Diesel house was not built by Penn Central but by New York Central - my Dad and uncles worked there. In fact, the fueling station you simulated in your layout is where my Dad worked his final several years before retirement under PC. I do love seeing your layout, Dave, because of the images of my home town area. Cheers! And thanks for a good, fun video!

[@rapidotrains]

👍

Entertaining videos from you guys. (More Janet!) Makes me like the products. (But I gotta have SP or WP).

Oh there will be more Janet!

Great layouts, I love the details. And always a funny video.

Glad you like it! If only we could bring our bus...

[@avelkhemchan6640]

Funny video and I really like the layout. One of the few layouts I go back to read about and study the track diagram in Model Railroader. He fits a lot of track in a small space.

[@rapidotrains]

Have you guys thought of doing the Via Rail HEP-2 coaches and/or the Via Rail P42DC? Yet to find ether of these models yet modeled correctly, and it be great to finally have them available👍

[@rapidotrains]

Maybe one day...

[@sparky107107]

way to much fun putting these videos together. lol . and if Janet knows that much about Conrail and the old NYC lines. would love to go out for diner some time , she can tell me all about it. since I model the Caso back in the days Conrail ran it through St Thomas. Janet will have to drive herself home mind you . will be hard enough telling my Wife i am only going out to talk trains. on a side note, really like the 40 foot box cars, any plans on doing a CASO ( Canada Southern) paint on some of them ?

[@rapidotrains]

We will pass on your kind words to Janet! We will ask Bill about CASO...

[@westernpacificrr]

You guys should make the Star Trek LRC it would definitely be great fun in a layout

[@rapidotrains]

They were done as a limited run a few years ago!

I cant wait for your Horizon coaches in HO scale...Question..will you also include the center door version like the ones from Metro North /C-Dot units, and would love 4 undecorated coaches for my CTRAIL LINE. IM WAITING!!!

[@rapidotrains]

Depending on how the first run of Comets do, we may do the center door versions later.

[@geraldgreen5371]

I love the fact that you guys actually answered me back. I goes to the Springfield show every year and always speak to mr Garcia, who gives me more than the time of day when others wont ,l like that.

That was the demonstrator scheme from the 1970s. It ran with those cars on demonstration.

[@mattsmocs3281]

Rapido team... why isn’t the enterprise LRC a released product. It is too amazing. From a fellow captain to you ;) just don’t tell Quark about this.
