Rapido Trains (HO)

Rapido Trains Inc. manufactures high-end model railroad equipment in HO and N scales. Jason Shron founded the company in 2004 in Toronto, Ontario. The brand focuses on high-end details and unique prototypes that other manufacturers often ignore.

Their freight line includes specialized cars like the “Skybox” aircraft parts cars and various modern reefers.

In addition to trains, Rapido offers a range of high-quality N scale buses and HO scale vehicles. The company uses advanced sound and lighting features to recreate the complete rail travel experience. Their products target serious hobbyists who want the most accurate models available.
