Jordan shows off the features of these gorgeous HO scale Alco and MLW locomotives and we seem them in operation on Neil Schofield's phenomenal Lyndonville and Newport Subdivisions model railroad.
More info can be found on our web site.

Watching the CP rail Alco FA-2 & FB-2 combination is simply magnificent. Great Layout, and I would definitely like to see more of the Alco FA/FB diesel units.

8:12 hey Jordan the last run of a CP Rail FA was on October 22 1975 When FA2 4089 led SW1200RS 8151 out of Toronto on a Burlington Turn Job. On November 8th 1975 4089 was shoved, dead and drained with a white canvas tarp over her exhaust stack onto the FA Deadline At St. Luc Shops, A day later, 4084 was added to the line and that was the end of the Alco FA era on CP Rail. I got this info from "Canadian Pacific STAND FAST, CRAIGELLACHIE!" by Greg Mcdonnell in which he described the FA Deadline as "Hauntingly similar to the steam scrap lines of years past. As the season's first snow piled high on their noses and rooftops, the moribund MLW's settled in for a winter's nap from which they would never awaken."

Now I have Pac Man Fever, Jordan. Thanks. Love the CP Rail units - - they really make a statement! Of course you are partial to Penn Central, and the New York Central locos are probably at your home, unbeknownst to everyone else. Thanks for sharing, and doing most (all) the work on the unboxing. 👍👍👍 That layout is so realistic, I felt like I could walk down the road. 😎

Hi Rapido Trains, First off Neil Schofield's layout looks awesome, Thank you Neil for letting Rapido Trains film these new locomotive on your layout. Next, the new Rapido FA-2's and FB-2's look fantastic, two thumbs up. This has been another light hearted yet informative video, keep up the great work guys. Now someone please wake Bill up, I want to know why we haven't seen any NYO&W locomotives and rolling stock yet, especially from the guy who had the "Old Woman" in the back room (ha ha ha) Cheers, Rich S.

Wonderful work as always, top notch. Very nice. Did CP Rail and other railroads put the striping on the front and the rear of the locomotives as a visibility thing? So they could be seen approaching grade crossings? I imagine that's why but not 100% positive. Great video. 👍
