It only took 8 years - Rapido's LRC and a movie

I won't bore you with the nine part mini series that is the epic tale of how it took 8 years to get the HO scale LRC from concept to reality but it is "here"....

We were fortunate to be able to film the LRC on Chris Plue's absolutely breathtaking  urban layout; the "Rapido Line" (not named for us, but for the CN passenger trains of the 60's and 70' that we are also named for) Regardless of what scale you model, take five minutes and marvel at the absolute artistry that is this layout.... and have a look at the locomotive that got Jason started on this crazy ten year journey....

Folks; Chris Plue's "Rapido Line" and our new HO scale LRC.....

You guys really take yourselves too seriously. You need to learn to lighten up.

Yeah keeping it old school... no JJ Abrams bull alternate timeline.

You guys really need the post-First Contact uniforms though. They were the best.

You could go one step farther than ensign. They made Colm Meaney wear a single black-center pip for awhile.

Oh yeah, not to take the thread off topic, but nice train!
