'The Canadian' Complete Passenger Train
(Maroon w/Script Lettering for 1963-1968)

Canadian Pacific  Nos. 1408 & 1409

Limited Run, Eh?

At 1 p.m. on Sunday 24 April 1955, a legend was born.

The sleek stainless steel passenger cars of Canadian Pacific's The Canadian departed Montreal's Windsor Station for the inaugural run across Canada to Vancouver.

Today, even with numerous upgrades and route changes, The Canadian still makes the journey every week, uniting communities across the country.

This will be the first complete model of The Canadian ever produced in ready-to-run plastic, including the first ever true, accurate model of Canadian Pacific's FP9A locomotive (not a stand in!).

The Canadian features all-new, super-detailed tooling from headlights to marker lamps.

The production run will be strictly limited to 2000 trains or less, divided into six consists.

Once Rapido has orders for 2000 trains, their order desk will close.

Once they're gone, they're gone for good.
