If any of you guys are wanting F40s that operated in the USA; VIA F40 locomotives could occasionally be seen operating between Chicago and Toronto. To be prototypical; get 3 Amtrak Phase III Horizon coaches and a Horizon Cafe car (which are coincidentally being sold by Rapido) work behind this locomotive.
They look excellent! You guys are putting on the details I thought only the HO guys could enjoy. The LRC cars look great too. Looking forward to getting some
I just got my N scale Turbotrain from you all. One word: A M A Z I N G! Runs beautifully and sounds great! Cant wait to see what else you all have coming!
Well I WAS only going to get one F40 to run with one or two F-units on the Canadian. But after seeing this I may need to reconsider, especially if it means there would be a better chance of seeing an Amtrak version later on down the road.
Ooooh! Too bad that you couldn't catch a Death Star rolling by when the Stormtrooper got to the loading dock... :-) These units look amazing. Any word on the Dash-8 orders?
These look great!! Very curious on any other road names. Computer lines?Wow wow! In the background on the shelf, HO scale... Is that an LIRR M9 EMU car!!!!!?????? N scale? I can't wait to get a hold on 1 of these incredible detail of the ditch and track lights
You people have so much fun and get to work with great products... should get together with SooThe Milwaukee Rd on TH-cam, as he has a very good sense of humor also.....
What DCC system would you recommend I use for these models? I currently use an EZ Command controller made by Bachmann, and it’s kind of limiting in what I can do with it; I don’t think I’ll be able to access all the light and sound features on these models with it
Looks good guys. Well if it was HO and Amtrak I’d be excited. Sorry have no use for N scale way too small. I only model H O Scale and O Scale 2 Rail. The thing I like about O Scale 2 rail is the detail is out standing
Hey Rapido, is there any chance you will do a GMD built SD40-2? I’d love to see a nice model of an Algoma Central or Wisconsin Central unit. Just a thought though. I mostly model n scale though. Can’t wait to receive my C40-8m!
I have preordered N Scale VIA Rail Canada Rebuilt F40PH-2D (DC/DCC/Sound) #6403 (Canada $10 Bill Version) (582507) and N The Canadian Prestige Chateau, Chateau, Park Set 1: VIA Rail Canada (550106). Very impressed by this video and happy that I have placed my preorders with Rapido. After seeing this video I am wondering if I need to add to my order. Would (550104) N The Canadian Add-On Coach, Manor, Chateau: VIA Rail Canada (HEP/Canada Scheme) be appropriate to run with 582507 and 550106?
Thanks for ordering! You'll need to order the complete train #550006. The Prestige set does not run by itself - it is the last three cars on the train.
i have one question but which controllers are fine and compatible with any rapido locomotive because you guys said that something like a mrc 1300 series controller will do something bad to the locomotives.

The F40PH is so iconic
Agreed!
Super stoked to get this and your upcoming FP9 on a rag tag 1980s Canadian consist! Will look unreal going through my Rogers Pass layout!
Beauty! Please share photos when you have them!
That cab looks small for me, but I imagine that N Scale people have no problem.
N scale people are Very Small.
Someone give that man a comb.
🤣🤣🤣
We call that quarantine hair. It’s the latest trend. Way to keep it fashionable President and CEO Jordan!
That’s a beautiful model I’d love to see those in Amtrak maybe along with some n scale AEM-7s that’d be great
That would be cool! We'll have to look at doing US versions/schemes in the future!
Sooo when can we expect some Amtrak early and late F40s in N scale too!???
Let's see how people like these first, eh?
@@rapidotrains what I just called my hobby shop to place a preoder for 4..I had no idea they were not being shipped...
@@rapidotrains can you make the sound decoder play Rock You Like a Hurricane for F40PH Friday?
Your Storm Trooper has some moves!!
He likes musical theatre... 😄
Legit sounds. I use to take the 6:30am train from Ottawa to Toronto and I'd hear them starting up the F40PH-2D Locomotives first thing in the morning.
That's cool!
thanks trudeau for the $2000, i’ll be putting it to good use
Beauty!
Absolutely gorgeous! I’m looking forward to seeing the production units!
Thanks! Hopefully they will be here by the end of the year.
Nice one Rapido,
I'm HO,but if I was N scale,this would be my first purchase.
Beautiful!
And oh yha,,,,,,,,
More Janet would be nice too!
Thanks!
Very cool locomotives. Wish these would come to N scale. But not before N scale BC Rail and Iowa Interstate M420s!

I'd love some Caltrain F40PH-2CATs, along with JPBX 920-22, but 920-22 require a new front end, and the 2CATs require new tooling.
A lot of new tooling... Maybe one day!
hey rapido! I hear you guys are coming up to my club at the Nottawasaga Model Railway for a video or two, hope you enjoy the layout!
We are indeed planning to come up soon. Looking forward to it!
They look excellent! You guys are putting on the details I thought only the HO guys could enjoy. The LRC cars look great too. Looking forward to getting some
Thanks! We're doing our best to up the N scale detail as much as we can.
I just got my N scale Turbotrain from you all. One word: A M A Z I N G! Runs beautifully and sounds great! Cant wait to see what else you all have coming!
Glad you like it!
Those are amazing, keep it up!
Thanks!

Need more! Need more! 😆
Can these models be back in stock soon?
We hope to do another run in the not-too-distant future!
Okay, so how much did that fantastic dancing Storm Trooper set you guys back? LOL! Stay safe! Cheers, Danny
He was very expensive. We had to buy him ice cream.
I wonder if these VIA rail models can also do "Emergency" horns.
Yes the rebuilt F40's will have the emergency horn.
i would love to see the amtrak versions of these someday (and maybe some n scale metroliners)
Hopefully there is enough demand for Amtrak. A lot of people own the Kato models already...
@@rapidotrains fair point
@@rapidotrains NJ Transit would be a nice one as well
rapidotrains yeah but the Kato models are kinda underwhelming. No separately applied details, lights, or sound features.
I like the way he says, "Lay oot"...
He's, like, a tenth-generation hoser, eh?
Ooooh! Too bad that you couldn't catch a Death Star rolling by when the Stormtrooper got to the loading dock... :-) These units look amazing. Any word on the Dash-8 orders?
Thanks! The Dash 8s will be here this month.
@@rapidotrains Great news! Thanks!
I just bought my first rapido car in ho scale last week and I'm loving it
Great!
These look great!! Very curious on any other road names. Computer lines?Wow wow! In the background on the shelf, HO scale... Is that an LIRR M9 EMU car!!!!!?????? N scale?
I can't wait to get a hold on 1 of these incredible detail of the ditch and track lights
Typo!
Commuter lines??
Thanks! We haven't done any North American EMUs... yet!
Beautiful locomotive
Thanks!
You people have so much fun and get to work with great products... should get together with SooThe Milwaukee Rd on TH-cam, as he has a very good sense of humor also.....
Thanks! We do have a good time...

Most of us are partial to the NCE Powercab.
Looks amazing! I wonder when the Ho LRC video is coming out.... I see those boxes lol
Thanks! The HO LRC video will be ready soon, but Jordan is sunning himself at the cottage so it will be a while...
Looks good guys. Well if it was HO and Amtrak I’d be excited. Sorry have no use for N scale way too small. I only model H O Scale and O Scale 2 Rail. The thing I like about O Scale 2 rail is the detail is out standing
As long as it looks good...🤣

Hmmm... That sounds like a great project!
The New f40 Boys have come
👍
❤ beautiful engines. Colors.
Thank you!
So cool! Ima get 2 even though I have absolutely no use for them on my layout! lol
Fantastic!
To quote Jean-Luc Picard "N Gauge"
Mr. Crusher!!!!
Also, what is the reason for the third headlight on the rebuilt VIA F40s and P42s?
Extra visibility at crossings.
I don't know why , I'm not into n scale but I can't stop looking at the many details 👁️👄👁️
That's a compliment! Thanks!

@@rapidotrains Thank you as always exceptional knowledge of product and customer service
Quick question! Will one N scale F40P-2D be able to haul the 10 car canadian set that y’all are releasing? Or will two locos be needed?
You'll need two, just like the prototype... 😁
rapidotrains alrighty! Guess I’ll get 2 DC locos then!
Nice video!
Thanks!
hola buenas tarde muchas gracias por subir el video abrazo grande
Muchas gracias!
You have a dalek shell in your office?
And you haven’t been raided by UNIT?
That's not a Dalek shell. That's our HR manager!!! 😆
Why do I feel that a Stormtrooper and Dalek are a natural fit? XD
The trouble is the Dalek can shoot straight. I know which one I'd rather be up against...
@@rapidotrains True true XD
i have one question but which controllers are fine and compatible with any rapido locomotive because you guys said that something like a mrc 1300 series controller will do something bad to the locomotives.
We find the MRC "Tech" series work very well. You may also want to look at the Kato transformers.
I am starting to lose faith that we will ever get them lol
We had to get the factory to address a flaw, but rest assured they are coming!
@@rapidotrains party kidding around. But good to know!
You better not do an N scale cabbage now, I just started switching over to HO just to get one.
Anything is possible! 😁
Undec? Cuz ive toyed with the idea of f40's in the nyo&w grey/yellow scheme
Yes, undecorated models are available.
@@rapidotrains yeah!
Beauty Beauty Beauty !!!!!!!!!!
Beauty!!!!!!!!
I like your shirt!
Thanks!
Isn’t he a little short for a storm trooper?
🤣🤣🤣
Do n scale sc-44
Maybe one day!
I wish there was a Amtrak paint
We'll be considering Amtrak N scale F40's for a future project!
Will we get other road names?
Maybe in the future!
rapidotrains oh alright. Do y’all sell via coaches to?
how about caltrain :)
We'll consider it if we do some US roads in the next release!
Isn't he a little short for a stormtrooper?
🤣🤣🤣
Rapido will make me change from z to n.
No plans for Z scale at the moment. Anything is possible in the future though!
rapido SC44 chargers mmmm
Mmmmm
When do these ship out?
We are still taking orders, so we expect late this year.
“Gahbagge Only”
Even your garbage is high end.
Sounds about right!
An I surprised that Janet needs her own security now? No, I’m not.
Superstars need security...
anyone else hear the grinding noise?
These were early test samples. Production models will be more refined drive systems.
Curses! My wallet has been foiled again.
Music to our ears!!! 🤣
