Looking to recreate the piggyback (rail-road) era on your layout, with a Canadian brand everyone recognizes? The Rapido Trains 45' Trailmobile dry van trailer in Home Hardware colors is exactly what you need. Home Hardware, the famous Canadian hardware chain, is a true institution of retail in the country — this livery brings a great touch of homegrown authenticity that will resonate especially with your customers.
What sets this model apart is the prototype fidelity Rapido is known for. The 45' Trailmobile trailers arrived in Canada in the mid-1970s, nearly a decade before they launched in the US, and were used in good numbers by CN, CP, and trucking companies. A first for the industry: Rapido faithfully recreates this classic Canadian trailer. Perfect for loading onto your flatcars in piggyback (TOFC) configuration, or simply to bring a loading dock, rail yard, or period city street to life, this finely decorated trailer will breathe life into your 1970s and 1980s scenes.
