Rapido Trains Inc. is a manufacturer of highly-detailed model trains. Our videos showcase our products, our real locomotive restoration efforts, and our silly antics.

Jason Shron's lifelong passion for trains fuels Rapido Trains, a business born from a childhood hobby. Starting in 2004 while pursuing a PhD, Jason eventually left academia to dedicate himself to model trains full-time.

Rapido Trains gained viral attention when Jason built a 20-foot train replica in his basement, leading to appearances on major media outlets. This publicity significantly boosted the company's marketing.

The company thrives on its authentic connection to the model train community. "It’s a company built on passion," Jason says. "We’re a team of mostly model train freaks who design stuff that we want." This shared enthusiasm resonates with their customers.
