Rapido Trains HO – 26' Can-Car Trailer: Imperial RoadwaysRapido Trains HO – 26' Can-Car Trailer: Imperial Roadways
Looking for that distinctly Canadian little trailer — ribbed sides, catchy graphics — to give your piggyback flatcars and roadside scenes a homegrown flavor? Rapido Trains' 26' Can-Car dry-van trailer is exactly that kind of piece. Short and full of character, it instantly sets a scene in a bygone era — when Canadian National and Canadian Pacific crisscrossed the country for package delivery, before these trailers were retired from service in the 1980s.
Rapido recreates this trailer from a Can-Car Industries prototype, in an industry first: these bodies had never been offered in HO before. Widely used by CN and CP for package delivery, as well as by small and large trucking firms and retailers, these trailers wore a host of colorful schemes. Rapido offers them with or without a side door depending on the scheme, and details every element: two-piece landing gear (in-motion or parked position), factory-applied mudflaps, detailed wheel and axle area, upright and collapsed hitches, and two styles of front stabilizing bars. Finely detailed, this trailer brings your layout the realism Rapido is known for.
