Edmundston

Let There be HEAT!

I work on Edmundston all winter long, and it gets pretty cold on the shore of Lake Ontario. I was able to get a furnace blower from Brendan Frezna when he put a new furnace in his house, so I put this in the duct work of Edmundston. We have air flow once again in Edmundston in a long time. The heat generated at the A end of the car will now be distributed through the car's duct work .... works amazing.

A Fresh Coat of Paint for VIA 6917

With last minute notice about a high-level executive visit to VIA's Toronto Maintenance Centre, we decided 6917 needed a fresh coat of paint. Jordan made a late night trip to Home Depot to get paint and supplies, and the team met at TMC for 8:00am the next day.

COVID 19 UPDATE - April 24th

Rapido employees are now working from home. Our warehouse manager, Joel, is working in the warehouse by himself as needed so we are once again shipping out products and completed warranty returns.

Please do not send any warranty repairs to the Rapido HQ as the office is usually unstaffed and we do not want your models to get lost. Please email us with any warranty issues/concerns and we will do our best to respond to you within two business days.

You can still order pre-order products. Our factories are working and new product deliveries are continuing. Our next scheduled arrival is the Pullman-Standard Dining Car shipment in late April. Exactly when we ship these models to customers will depend on the situation at that time.
