Review: Rapido 53' Husky Stack Well Car & Containers in HO Scale!

[@jlwii2000]

This was filmed after a long and tough day at work. Sorry for my many flubs!

[@ashevilletrainman6989]

Didn’t notice a thing. Enjoyed the great video... thanks

[@thomaspixarmarvelfan]

I just got two at a train show. These are great! Very solid! Going to another show next month and getting several more!

[@biggiefitz6275]

Really nice that they come with containers. Great review!

[@TrainsByPerry]

Just a note that the pink cars are going for 250.00 Cad. now

[@Cziro_]

Nice video, like always. Also I was always amazed by the US way of stacking containers. If You do like that here in Europe, after a mile of so You would smash a bridge or a tunnel :)

[@Bubs031]

I think we will be seeing more of these in the future also some of the containers there not AC there actually Heatersre designed to protect cargo transported through the extreme cold of the Canadian winter

[@rayrr2013]

The graphics on the containers is great. The lack of door details is a little disappointing.

[@jaystanley5351]

Looks very detailed. Will they connect with Kadee 5's?

[@epiccsx]

These are what I need! One thing though, they don't carry them at trainworld now

[@richardcolemanjr3749]

Nice well car but what about a articulated 3 unit 53' and 5 unit 40' NSC car? Walthers has the 53' 3 unit draw bar car. Maybe they will reveal one at Trainfest????

[@vermontrail-fan5557]

Nice review James, it’s been a bit ever since you did a rolling stock review, but I completely understand why because you are in the process of your move. I just want to give you an early warning that this year’s winter is looking nasty, so be careful out there when you do and stay safe.😉 Great job again James have a good night,😊❤️🌙👍🏻👍🏻

I call the blue container Via Rapido, because the blue, yellow lines and lettering are same as Via Rail old lettering and paint scheme on their passenger cars.

[@TonyFleetwood]

Im lucky i was able to get one of the cancer awareness well cars! Apparently they made a very small amount of them.

[@brucemacdonald4672]

Could be heaters or refrigerator

[@gregbeatty5638]

Keep up the good work

[@ashevilletrainman6989]

I wish model trains came with coupons in the box

[@d-rail7271]

They didn't end up being random, TTX ones all got Santa Fe and JB Hunt containers, CP ones got CN and CP containers. Some of the CN and CP containers were reefers. Dealers never got any notice of the pink ones they were just announced on the site when they started shipping. I found out about them from a customer (who really wanted one but never got one). Seems like they could have raised a lot more money with those had they given us the chance to order them and then produced that many. Neat idea but I think could have been done better.

[@cruisinjoe]

I find it interesting BNSF still has containers with the old Santa Fe logo. I collect modern containers but only have about 4 well cars because of space and because they are rather fragile. Which leads to my question of how fragile are these?

[@jlwii2000]

they seemed pretty durable to me.

[@Drewtrainfan]

This is a awesome Stack well car.

[@beaviskornholio2754]

James i was wondering if you can find out something for me. Why is it that athearn doesn't make passenger cars with lighted interiors or lighting kits for them. I own a set of bombardier cars with an f59phi metrolink engine. If you know of a company that does , that is track powered please let me know. Thanks in advance.

[@jlwii2000]

im not aware of a company that does. I have used Rapido's easy peasy lighting for some cars but those are battery powered.

[@beaviskornholio2754]

@@jlwii2000 Thanks for the quick reply. It's a shame that athearn doesn't make lighted passenger cars, some of them are really nice. Once again thank you for the quick response. Have a good thanksgiving.

[@jlwii2000]

@@beaviskornholio2754 by the way, great KZbin ID/ name. It made me laugh

[@californiahauler6561]

Can this fix on a 18in curved track from Bachmman please and thanks you

[@maddennis55]

Why would a container have 'air conditioners'? Do you mean 'refridgerator (reefer) units?

[@mopacproductions6669]

Do you know if the Mth Gs4 and Berkshire’s have shipped yet?

[@jlwii2000]

[@Brnich32]

Maybe it is the light in the room. But, the yellow looks to pale for the first car you looked at. These have a darker yellow hue to them in real life.

[@dispLock]

You did fine. Typically nice work by Rapido.

[@twiggs24]

Do any companies make amazon shipping containers in ho?

[@jlwii2000]

i dont think so

[@MCMilitaryForce]

they should

[@goodmuzikfan]

very nice

[@northamericarailfan307]

We got Rapido train ho scale 53ft well car. From credit Valley railway. Cost $59.95can.

[@EuropeanTrainDriver]

Schön

[@rogerking2801]

Containers manufactured by any maker should fit right on the freight cars.

[@tonyansill3093]

I also wish Susan G Komen and others who do things like these pink rail cars would add blue to the pink. Blue would represent mens breast cancer. When u see pink and breast cancer u think women.

[@IsaacAmadeo]

Second :P
