Very nice. A couple of points: BN E9s didn't have dynamic brakes; the fans in the center are to cool the HEP plant. The unused D/B space was good for that. Worked on three of them during my time with IPH. The "K" in Knudsen is not silent. Told that directly from a M-K employee 30 years ago.
I can’t wait till for the gallery, double-decker, commuter cars to come out and matching locomotive and directional lighting at a cab car. Perfect I won’t have to modify it to make the lights go on and off at the proper going forward or reverse. Great job Rapido
This is quite the release. Adding the BN E's is a nice touch & I'm sure you will have quite a few happy Metra fans. Heck, I'm happy with it, just being a Chicagoland railfan in general. Neat stuff!!
At first, I was thinking, "Wow Rapido, you can't afford a decent microphone?" Then I realized, "Oh...they're just using the microphone for more important things."
Magnificent, extra time to talk myself into a second set. Given the production of the HEP E8s, does this improve the chance we see their RTA/METX schemes?
I suspect Athearn will pick up the 70mach once they're in regular service since they already have the 70Mac frame and tooling. I've heard there's a chance a small company might make the 40c, but it would be in kit form. Unsubstantiated, rumor, too.
Haha, the Two Tenny bit at the beginning IMMEDIATELY followed by a shot of said unit is too good! Lolol

I was surprised to find out that it was a hard “K”. It’s been years and I still hear it in my head as “Noodsen” 🥴

Milwaukee Road gallery cars!!!!

When will you be showing what interior details will be on the shipping Metra passenger cars?
Any chance your team could make some of the CTA L models in HO??
Man, Metra is such a rolling museum.
Definitely looking forward to do my review on these pieces of equipment!

Such Beautiful models!!!
This is nice will you have plans for n scale version
Great vid. Hope no one got shot.
Will the cabcars have a connector for a decoder of choice? If so, what type of decoder would be accepted?
Im so pumped for the Winnebagos
You should coordinate a visit around next years Chicagoland RPM! We’d love to hang out and talk trains with you!
Nice model!! Love it.
Good to see! I understand the BN E8As had indivual names after villages & certain persons, but where on the locomotive are these names?
oh how I miss the HEP scream on VIA's F40's.
will there be undec versions of the F40PHM-2 and -3's??
Nice job jeff!
Just wondering if the F40PHMs will ever be in n scale, I think it would be neat.
Will you guys ever make cnw bi levels?
It's definitely possible!
@@rapidotrains I hope so. I’d prefer not to go through the pain of putting a DCC sound decoder plus lights in a Walthers bilevel.
Nice
hello Rapidotrains & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool thanks Rapido trains friends randy
what video of the E units is the FMNUT footage from?
We want twotenny! 😂
Are there plans to release the F40PHMs in n scale?
Any chance you guys make the sd70mach or f40c

Stop making me spend so much money!
Good thing I made my own metx 210
Metra it up!!
Tint the passenger windows (not door windows)
They should be green
I'm sorry what was the reason for not doing 210 the f40 is too loud
😏
Excellent, excellent! JK!!
Yessir
