Looking to add realistic piggyback service to your layout? The Rapido Trains F30D 50' TOFC flatcar, with its included trailer, in Trailer Train (TTX) yellow, is exactly that kind of piece. TOFC — "Trailer On Flat Car" — revolutionized postwar freight by loading highway trailers directly onto rail.
What sets this model apart is Rapido's signature prototype fidelity. Descended from PRR class F30A/D flatcars converted to piggyback service from 1954, these cars were transferred to Trailer Train and upgraded (ACF trailer hitches, roller-bearing trucks, TTX yellow scheme). Die-cast metal chassis and deck for optimum weight, full brake rigging, separate grab irons, turned metal wheels and an included decorated trailer: everything is here to bring a period intermodal train to life.
