Rapido Trains was founded in Markham, Ontario in 2004 and has rapidly become Canada's most respected model train manufacturer, with a reputation built on obsessive research, prototype-accurate detail, and the deepest catalogue of Canadian-prototype models in the hobby. If you run CN, CP, VIA Rail, GO Transit, BC Rail or Algoma Central, Rapido is almost certainly making models you want.
