CMRM has the most amazing layout! What a perfect place to display this train.
We agree. Amazing!
Thanks! I agree!
Glad to see some Star Trek action in this, was not expecting it. Well Played Rapido, Well Played.
Thanks!
The ski train model brings back memories of the time when it ran in colorado. It fits perfectly with the CMRM layout. Although the tempo cars were from Canada originally, they played an interesting role for the Rio Grande as well. Great Work.
Thanks a lot!
I enjoy the passenger train on layouts. Very Nice
Thanks! It’s a beautiful layout.
Is It Just Me,Or Is Michelle A Lot Happy In This Video😄
Yes she seems to be very happy!
@@rapidotrains Michelle is always happy... haha
Awesome! I guess an Algoma Central version of the Tempos is in the works? I had the chance to ride this to the Agawa Canyon! Great ride.
You're late to the party... We brought out the ACR cars last year. We're sold out, but some stores may have them in stock. Try one of the stores in Ontario.
Nice. I really love that train.
The model is nice too! 😁
I ordered the complete set. cars and loco's!
Wow! Thanks a lot!
I just loved the video! It was nice to see Ms. Michelle Kempema again! I always seen her on..What's Neat video formats! This The "Best Hobby In The World" Till Next Time! MoPac Jack Be Safe & Be Blessed!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Nice! When do we see an iteration of Enterprise in HO scale with sound and lights coming out? Could use one in the ceiling in the train room.
It would be almost ELEVEN FEET LONG! 😄
:-) Didn't think that through. T scale then and I can call it forced perspective
Oh oh, Janet has competition. Michelle is great! Nice cars, already have my VIA one, but the layout is amazing.
👍
Canada has THE Janet, I’m her south of the border knock-off generic brand version.
🤣🤣🤣
Well done Rapido. This made me laugh and brightened my day.
Our pleasure, and thanks!
They look lovely, although not really compatible with my OO British outline heritage railway layout. The interior detail looks great too. How about DCC sound that includes toilet flushes etc? 😉
We're going for working toilets first...
I was waiting for the guy in the red shirt to say "Inconceivable"!
Andre The Giant was there, just outside of the shot.
Wow this video is real good (quick question will you guys release any sd38-2's soon?)
Thanks! Prob no SD38-2's from us in the near future, but maybe one day.
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Rapidotrains are you going to make f40 loco's just for the ski train 🚄🚋👍?
You bet: rapidotrains.com/products/ho-scale/diesel-locomotives/ho-scale-later-phase-f40ph
Hah hah, Andorian tribbles. I'm an old Star Trek fan from way back. I even ordered some of the Star Trek merchandise back in 1971 which included the gold A badges that are sewn to the uniforms. I model caboose era D&RGW but dang, that's a nice looking ski train. Y'all are having too much fun! Ironically, I'm told the layout represents Oregon landscape and scenery but it's located in Greeley Colorado!
The only way to see all the details at the bottom of those trains, is if you are modeling a train wreck.
We always say our passenger cars look best upside down in a ditch! 😂
if you model CSX, the bottom side is what you get to see the most of, lol
I remember the days with the old NP cars. If I remember the Ski train was pulled by the F9s that pulled the RGZ after it was cancelled. It's also cool to know the Michelle is a Star Trek fan!
We Trekkies tend to search each other out... 🖖🏼
Hey WikdSeafood...Live long and prosper. 🖖
I have ridden the train with my mother and sister on one of the last trip of the season; was back in the late 1990''s loved every bit of it!! Live in Nashville TN I will always remember being in Colorado as a little kid and loved trains and still will until my last days....... thanks!!!
Neat! Thanks for the memory!
What a hoot!! Good job Rapido and especially Michelle, good to see you again!
Thanks!
Thanks! I had so much fun being my normal geeky self. 😉
Awesome passenger cars & spectacular layout! Any chance of the Bombardier BiLevel coach VI's for the West Coast Express plus their MP36PH-3C or F59PHI locomotives being made in N & HO scale? 🙏 😇
We have a lot of new projects in the works! 😁
I want it but I can't justify or afford the purchase right now. Maybe if you guys do another run in about a decade I'll be able to grab one then!
Keep saving! 😁
@@rapidotrains working on it lol
I love the Denver and Rio Grande. I model in "N" scale. can I hope down the line. you'll tool them for "N" scale . I'll keep my fingers crossed. They look great.
Maybe one day!
I do love your video's and the humour that goes with them . I did laugh when the enterprise went past , Have you got anything coming in N gauge for the UK market ??
Glad you like them! Our next N gauge model is the Class 92 with Revolution. Then we'd like to make more Pendos.
@@rapidotrains i've got my order in for the Class 92 so hopefully delivery soon, and i might treat myself to another Pendo when they come out . take care
Please can I have my deliveries packed with tribbles? You'd only have to put one in the box and they would fill the packing space all on their own!
We tried that but they broke the box. 😁
@@rapidotrains Then we'll need to get a bigger box...
OK Jordan.... nice video, as always Rapido did a bang up job and the details are unmatched, But !! Lets address " THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM !" You know it's true because between 0:15 and 2:30 it was in the upper left hand corner of the screen! OH yes I saw it, those oh sooo sexy New LRC'S. Right at the " missing footage debacle" the LRCs disappeared as if Jason beamed them up to the USS Enterprise hoping no one saw them! wheres the video on the new LRC's Jordan ( & Rapido trains)? , or is that footage missing too.. LOL
Patience... 😆
My compliments sir
Thanks!
WOW, not only is Michelle a train geek, she's also a Star Trek geek 😍 She's stolen my heart, but sadly it looks like someone else has already stolen her heart. Oh yeah, the passenger cars look nice too 😂 🤣 🙃 Cheers, Rich S.
We were delighted to have her join us.
Aww... you are a sweetheart! But yes, my heart is spoken for. And yes the passenger cars are beautiful!
That's awesome. I still need to eventually get another Rapido phase 3 F40PH to go with 229 that I bought a few years ago. Sadly, I'm still in school so that might be awhile, plus 229 sits safely away in storage until I finally stop moving. Thank you everyone for your high quality recreations for the HO and N scale.
Thanks Jay, much appreciated!
Didn't anyone tell you never wear red on Star Trek. It goes with never saying the Scottish play in theatre.
I thought skis came in pairs not threes! Where's the snow. And not the mm deep snow from Ontario, but the meters deep from California and Colorado.
Thx again. 😎😎😎
Our pleasure. Yeah, she should not have worn red...
Wish Rapido would do this train in N gauge, then that would be awesome because I'm from Colorado and loved to ride that train during ski season, get up early have breakfast on the way up fiddle fart around the resort, have dinner and a few beers on the way back, great times met alot of fun people too on those excursions!!!
Maybe at some point!
Never wear a red Star Trek uniform...virtually everyone on TOS who wore one didn't survive episode. Even Scotty was "killed" a time or two, but he managed to survive his death. Seriously, those are some nice models and anyone into serious passenger train modeling would do well to get some.
Thanks for your kind words! And yes, she should not have worn a red shirt....
Nice one! loved the Enterprise going by as if nothing happened :)
Thanks a lot! That was a nice easter egg.
I started with plastic passenger cars, then I went to brass passenger cars, you Folks at Rapido have raised the bar so high, I think it's time to go back to plastic passenger cars.
Definitely! 😁
will you be making some steam engines anytime in N scale..you are top notch in N scale as I own several n scale turbo trains from your company
Glad you like them and thanks for your business! We are considering doing N scale steam.
Beautiful,and the train not had either.
😂
Is bill rogers still making videos for the rr museum
Not sure ourselves, but you may want to drop the museum a line.
Jospeh, we are so sorry to say but Bill Rogers passed away this past Spring. We miss him so much already!
Please, I need these locomotives and rail cars in N scale! They look fantastic in HO.
We'll consider it for a future project!
Wow
👍
Have preorders been notified of shipping and payment yet? Spring Creek contacted me saying that they have my exclusive cars in but I haven’t heard anything from Rapido yet
Yes, direct customers were contacted. Please send us an email or call us at the office and Lystra will help you: 1-855-LRC-6917.
Great details, congratulations! I hope your models arrive in Chile soon!
I really like their videos, because they show the passion they have for trains and they also have fun working on it (at least because of what they show in their videos, hehe)
If you ever make limited editions of locomotives of the world, do I ask the Chilean electric loco E-32 Breda-Marelli, made in Italy only for Chile ... :)
Thanks so much! We're not very familiar with the Chilean models here, but I'll pass that along to the team!
@@rapidotrains Thank you very much!
They do not know what would make us modelers excited here ... sadly, there is no website that brings together all the material, but you can find images from different websites.
The E-32 is very similar to the EP-5 that you already made.

Is this a set ? Great video by the way
The Ski Train cars come in singles or 3 piece sets.
rapidotrains OK thank you :)
Inside bearing. Hope they roll better than the amsleds.
Absolutely. They have ball bearings.
buenas noche excelente video muchas gracias por mostrar la maqueta abrazo grande
Our pleasure! Glad you like it!
Hello to everyone at Rapido trains, I can’t wait to get me a set. I love the Denver and Rio Grande paint scheme. I wish my wife was enthused with Trains like Michelle is. My wife hates trains she thinks they’re a waste of money. If I was single again I would definitely ask Michelle out on a date. It would sure be nice to have a girlfriend that has the same interests as I do. Mr. Bill CNW. From Villa Park Illinois
Too bad your wife hasn't seen the light about our hobby. Maybe one day!
Hey Bill your working this at the wrong angle, Follow my lead. My wife was not into model railroading at first as well until I persuaded her to think of it this way ..... " When Im stressed and need a release My model railroading hobby is a lot safer , poses no reasonable amount of danger to anyone, and cost less then ME Drinking at a bar every, weekday, weekend, special occasion, no reason but to get beer goggle vision, or just because Im upset with you." Worked like a charm for me !
This really is the best approach to take.
Mr. Buddah That sounds like great advice I’ll have to work on that thank you
way to think out side the box car Rapido. Getting the Colorado Model RR museum, to show case the cars. Well done.
Thanks! They were hugely supportive!
I first knew about the ski train from the zimo kids vhs tape about trains. And I was surprised there was a ski train.
👍
Hi . great upload as always.. Will you guys ever consider in making any modern Canadian Pacific modern diesels..in. N scale 😄
Thanks! Maybe one day!
Just got mines today and the video really doesn't do these cars justice. Just waiting on the spring creek set to get here and I'm highballin!
I know I've said it before but thank you guys for doing the Ski Train!
Thanks, we're glad we could make them!
That was a jolly good watch! Regards Stephen.
Thanks Stephen!
Can you get the new ski train 40
Yes. You need to preorder: rapidotrains.com/products/ho-scale/diesel-locomotives/ho-scale-later-phase-f40ph
Great Colorado Ho layout it's worth building today with DCC n Sound technology I started with tyco years ago until I switched to Athearn Genesis Ho locomotive's n I'm a Walter's Ho scale n now this is what I was looking for since the early 80's n today I found the technology for Ho scale,O gauge,O scale, n S scale, n G scale which is garden with sound technology I enjoy this hobby n watching the videos on TH-cam n I like sound in Ho scale which I buy today.
Thanks or watching!
Ooh my ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnde
🤣🤣🤣
I can’t wait to ski this in train stores. No doubt that George trains will have this in stores
I thought Jason was the pres and ceo.......
He is, but it's been a running joke for a while now that Jordan has taken over!
Revenge of the Nerds
😂
Hey Randy Palmer!
👍
Well done.
The cars look great.
Thanks 👍
Well if i had enough mainline track to run this consist, i would get one.
👍
I'm very disappointed we never saw the cars roll down the side of a Mountain.☹️
🤣🤣🤣 Yeah they look better that way...
😱😱😱
Will you guys ever do the Royal Gorge excursion train?
Anything is possible in the future.
That michelle and her trains
She's a star!
😂 I’m just a geeky railfan. 🤷♀️

I love the star trek!!
Thanks! We try get some type of Star Trek reference in each video!

cant wait to get back to Greeley to see the layout again
They've certainly done a beautiful job!
And we can’t wait to see you here!
Could you hold the roof edges a little closer to the camera? I want to count the rivets. LOL! Very nice set.
Lol! They are all there!
Looks great!
Thanks!
