VIA Rail/Canadian Pacific model train - THE CANADIAN

[@SuperAzusa]

Wow. This is a stunning model. I really like the "Canada" branding on the cars - gorgeous. Good job guys.

[@rapidotrains]

Thanks a lot!

[@PlaneBoy2520]

I clicked SO FAST when I saw this! I pre ordered the 10 car set last December! And I plan on pre ordering more passenger cars before the deadline October 15th! I absolutely cannot wait to get this set! Y’all have done an amazing job and I’m so happy to support you guys!

[@rapidotrains]

Wonderful! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the generous minute and a half at the very end of the video where we actually can hear the train coaches without any music overlay

In 1967 I flew from the UK with my parents to Toronto boarded the train to Vancouver stopping off in Banff for 5 days before completing the journey. This journey is what got me in to modelling North American GN and CP 😎🚂🚂

That's great!

I can hardly wait for this set to be released! Way back in May, I preordered the 10-car set + 3-car add-on set + 2 extra skyline domes in the original CP Maroon, along with 2 FP9As in the CP Script scheme! It will be a beautiful addition to my collection.

[@rapidotrains]

Awesome!

[@TheI3lacky]

Great Models! Cant wait for the H0 Scale re-run :P

You'll have to get them car by car. We're never doing the full train in HO again. You can order the Manor and Baggage now.

[@martyyoung3298]

I rode the Canadian to Vancouver after the NMRA Convention in Toronto and really enjoyed the trip. When I saw your announcement of the train in N I had to reserve it. I am sure it must have come to San Diego at some time. At least it will for me.

[@rapidotrains]

Awesome, thanks for the order!

[@mainecoastrailfan]

A wonderful model of a wonderful train!

[@rapidotrains]

N or HO scale, the Rapido Canadian is the most beautiful train set I have ever seen!!! (I thought I was the only train geek in the world...loll...)

[@rapidotrains]

We would tend to agree with that!

[@1ironneck]

Respect to acknowledge that theose car which are still owned by Canadian Pacific and my grandfather worked those trains when cp just bought them

[@Zebrails]

I'd like to "milk" the comments and say: "It's a Beauty whey to go..." Here in BC, the Rocky Mountaineer Rail Tour train got with Athearn and produced their very own train. You should get royalties and a discount every time you travel on the Canadian. I have an idea about the lighting... I will message you on FB or email about that idea. Thank you again for another wonderful video... everything about it was/is awesome. I love your products, albeit I mainly buy past locomotives you have made (getting another Dash-8, but this one has the delicious great stripes.) I am in HO Scale. John

[@rapidotrains]

Er.... have a look at those "Athearn" coaches and dome cars that Rocky sells. I think you'll find a Rapido logo on them... 🤣

[@Zebrails]

@@rapidotrains Um, the early set? Sorry if I was wrong. I have a friend whose RMRT locomotives are Athearn... Next time I'm at his house I shall ask to see them. Thanks for responding.

[@lleebb76]

Do you think there will ever be a second run of these? I've booked a trip on The Canadian next year from the UK and fancy a souvenir but it seems I'll be two years to late for an N scale model!

[@rapidotrains]

We certainly hope so!

[@MarcelDekker-il3vw]

As N scale rider (not collector!) a compliment. On bring this train. I hope it brought in enough revenue for you; and joy for the buyers.. You know much is on limits. I ride Epoche III / German.. and cant afford this. But I get this is a good move. A legendary Canadian Train. In a scale with much die hard fans but not as many as in HO or O... so yet almost 2024, a compliment on "do this¨

[@dontown1531]

I've traveled on 'The Canadian' over 50x since 1964. Apparently the Budd Corp. planned on building a Sleeper Dome car for this train but CP decided not to order them. They had the config 4 DBRs 4 Roomettes & 4 single bedrooms under the dome.

I have one on order. I will also be getting the 3 car set. Is there a proper consist of all of these?

[@rapidotrains]

The 10 car set represents a typical consist, but this can vary greatly depending on the time of year and era. Sets in the 70's could get as short as 6 cars in the winter, while summer consists in the early 2000's could be over 30 cars!

[@briannewsome1245]

Will you be releasing these again in HO gauge as I would buy if available in the UK.

[@rapidotrains]

The sets won't be returning in HO, but we are making the cars again! Currently the Manor sleepers and Baggage/dorm cars have been announced for release in 2021.

That's correct. When they were modified for HEP, the water tank capacity was increased. This was as much about increasing the weight as it was about increasing the capacity.
