Dana Kawala looks at Rapido’s new HO Canadian passenger train in detail in this video review. The big set features 3 locomotives and 10 passenger cars, and the models included museum-quality details inside and out.

  1. The model is very true to the excitement of traveling on The Canadian. As mentioned it was wonderful to sit it the Park Car dome at night and watch the light show on the terrain plus the overhead search light on the lead A Unit.
    Great work by Rapido Trains

  2. Best review yet Dana! Certainly an impressive model. I was blown away when you removed the dinning car shell and revealed those etched glass panels!

    I'd love to see them do a 1939 20th Century Limited!

  3. Dana, Thank you for the in depth look at this magnificent train. I especially appreciated the commentary on the challenges of taking the car apart to add figures, I don't think the manufacturers have considered this in the design of the latest passenger cars. Perhaps this could be a future Cody's work bench feature, "successes or challenges in adding figures to the latest ready to roll passenger cars" Anyway, I very much enjoyed the video.

  4. this is a great model, thank you for the review and now I can try to get one , put I know they are alll sold out.
