Beautiful models
Thank you! Cheers!
Damn! The details you guys do are off the charts! The SP and Rio Grande paint schemes are my favorite. The wand removing the coal was pretty cool but I was hoping the magic wand was for a rear marker light or EOD that you could turn on and off like your passenger cars. Next idea perhaps for you guys when it comes to freight cars?? 😉
I need to get my hands on those PA's some time.
That is some time, when I'm not putting away for furnace oil.
We hope you do!
Definitely gonna place an order for the coal cars especially to BNSF those look great. 😃
Thank you!
PA looks great! As a Rio Grande fan, it’s really disheartening to see a lot of my fellow Rio Grande enthusiasts complaining about the green on the nose which is actually correct for the factory paint. It just faded to grey over the years, but your model represents a factory fresh unit.
Thanks! We always strive for the as-delivered colors.
Nice, will be picking up the Carolina power cars for sure!!! Just beautiful units Guys, Thanks Jason and Jordan and designers!! You Hosers are the stuff!!
We do what we can!
Love the A & B sets! Looks like its time to order now, they're going fast!
We still have a few, but don't wait too long!
new Rapido semi-scale couplers... Please talk more about it ! They look great!
Maybe we'll do a video about them!
Good morning Rapido Trains Inc., (RTI), loving the Alco PA class and the PB class units and they have a very very nice and a striking paint schemes for the Era. Although the ALCO P class units lack in emission regulations and modern technology enhancements by today's standards these locomotives are still in the history books.
They certainly were beautiful!
@@rapidotrains Not as nice compared to modern engines built today but the P class looks nice. Plz reply.
awesome! Always look forward to a new rapido video.
Well thanks!
@@rapidotrains As a matter of fact, just bought some NJ Transit comets for my Jersey coastline line layout! Very excited!

I love how beautiful the AFT Alco PA looks. Just waiting to add a decoder and then I’ll add the etched eagles to the side.
She's a beaut!
Can't wait to get my Auto Flood III's
Sooooon....sooooon.....
Awesome detailing on your units! I grew up with Lionel trains, and even as a kid I was disappointed in how 'basic' the detailing was on the units. (I'm probably calling them an incorrect name, sorry!) Having lived in apartments all of my adult life, I was never able to have anything like what my dad built, but I have great memories. I have recently taken up railfanning thanks to TH-cam channels, and I am loving it. EDIT: I just checked your website, and I see why the detailing is so incredible. Your products are high-end, sort of the Rolls-Royce of the rails! Nice stuff 👍
Thank you! And you could always get into N scale and have a layout that takes up 1/16th the footprint as O!
@@rapidotrains N scale is something that I should look into. Thank you for the suggestion 👍
Wow ! Those cars transpire Quality ! Impressionnant la qualité qui saute aux yeux! Bravo|
Merci!
3 things:
1. Not enough Star Trek.
2. Surprised that the Rapido Trains conference room does not look like the Enterprise-D’s conference room.
3. Surprised that Jason has yet to build a full-scale replica of the Enterprise-D’s bridge in his basement.
May the force live long and prosper!
The guys on one of the forums are unhappy with some of the details on the PAs. Headlight openings are too big and the grabs being plastic are thick and ungainly. You can even see here the NTA in Santa Fe is a tad lower because it has to be below the headlight opening. Once you see it, you can't un-see it.
But side by side with a Proto 2000 PA the Rapido has better contours, you can see the difference. Hopefully future runs will correct the small issues.
Autoi-flood box is not a clam shell box if it's two separate pieces...a clam shell implies that the box is hinged when you open it as is the case with the PA/PB boxes, those are clam shell boxes.
You say potato, we say tomato!
SUPER BEAUTIFUL HOPPERS!
Thank you!
Thank you for another wonderful video
Our pleasure!
Southern Pacific replaced std pilots with home-made snow plow jobs a few years after delivery. Later units (PA3s) were delivered without pilots so the plows could be installed upon delivery in Sacramento.
Icicle breakers protected SP-built low-profile domes over Donner Pass on the City of San Francisco and over Cascade Summit on the Shasta Daylight. SP refused to allow taller UP City domes, citing clearance concerns (disproved when Amtrak began running them).
Awesome, thanks for that!
Finally, as beautiful as they are my wallet is safe, two products that don’t fit my era. Still waiting for you to suck the money out of wallet when you announce the RS23, S13 and hopefully the RSC24. ;)
We'll get your wallet one day....
thank you for awesome video
Glad you liked it!
Waiting for my dealer to call saying they got my SF PA/B set. It will be my first Rapido equipment.
A fine first product!
@@rapidotrains they have now been shipped, so just waiting for them to find my door step!
Those Autoflood coal hoppers are awesome, I see the BNSF cars pretty often here on the Thayer Subdivision! I am curious if you will do ex BNSF Autoflood hoppers that have been patched for other companies? Those Alco PA-1s are sweet too!
We'll almost assuredly be doing more runs in different schemes!
You seem bemused while showing off the SP models. You obviously know these are very fine models!
Oh, he certainly knows!
Awesome cool cars how much are they

I just forward this video to Dave@ the Cumberland Mine.CCRX6700 Are any of these coal cars unlettered?
Our cars built by Freight Car America are the JACX (Johnstown America Corporation)
We have 10 of those and they were special built for our mine in 2006/2007.
Our CYMX and OFAX rapid discharge were built by Trinity. It is amazing the
fine detail in the models he showed.
I always figured CP&L just used NS and CSX coal hoppers for their coal deliveries.
We're happy to educate!
Plz reply to my 2 xomments and I love the ALCO P class locomotives and I think these were the Apostles to American railroading at the time. You don't see these Alco P class engines running on the rails anymore.
We just did!
@@rapidotrains Oh, I did not look!
Will you be doing Union Pacific PAs anytime soon please? The Autofloods look great, you didn't mention prices, why?
Hopefully in the next run! And pricing is available on our website!
Excellent. 💙 T.E.N.
Thank you!
I have 3 SP PA-2s on preorder from an online retailer but they still haven't billed me. Getting really nervous that they're going to screw me out of them like they did the CSX F40PHs you guys made.
You should definitely follow up!
@@rapidotrains they still just say not yet. I ordered them elsewhere
I’m going going to have to wait for 4 runs to get enough to build unit trains for BNSF and UP at 18 car numbers per run. Any idea how long between runs? A year maybe?
We have no set schedule for future releases, but we hope to do many!
Can we get CSX PA units?
Maybe if such a scheme existed!
HO Scale of CN passenger cars?
Maybe soon!
No money spent on rapido locos until…
BN…
BN would be your "gateway" scheme!
Die cast frame!??? 🤮🤮🤮 too much weight is not a good thing when trying to make long unit trains. Details however are still unbelievable!
The cars are weighted to NMRA standards. As they are an open top car with full interior detail, a die cast frame is the best way to properly weight the model.
@@rapidotrains I know I'm just bursting your bubble lol I'm really anxious to see the N scale centerbeam though, finally!!
