GMD-1 LOCOMOTIVE PRODUCT GUIDELINES

Thank you for purchasing this model of Canada’s most unique locomotive, the GMD-1. 

This is the first freight locomotive produced by Rapido and the first locomotive produced 

by the MLW factory. (Funny that MLW’s first model is a GMDD prototype.... don’t tell 

any Alco fans!)

As always - but especially as this is the first locomotive from the MLW factory - please do 

not hesitate to contact us should there be anything wrong with your model. Whether you 

have a warranty issue (missing parts, exploding model, etc.), a question (“Why won’t 

the class lights work with my 87-year-old AC controller?”) or a comment (“Mmmm.... 

GMD-1.  Aaaarrrglglglhhhh.”) please give us a shout. More warranty information is 

available towards the back of this manual.

You can reach us by email: [email protected], by phone (1-855-LRC-6917 or  

+1-905-474-3314) or by snail mail at the address below. 

Please do not send any models back to us without first speaking to us to get authoriza-

tion. You’d be amazed at how many models arrive at our location with no documenta-

tion whatsoever. And if models get sent to one of our old addresses, they might as well 

have been beamed into the mouth of a wormhole as we’ll never see them. 

If you’ve finally got around to opening this model after your retirement in 2042, you’re 

on your own. Sorry.
