Rapido HO – 40' Fruehauf Fluted-Side Volume Van Trailer
Looking for the trailer that gives your piggyback flatcars and roadside scenes the look of the golden age of American intermodal? Rapido Trains' 40' Fruehauf Fluted-Side Volume Van is exactly that kind of piece. Riding on a TOFC flatcar or parked beside a dock, this trailer's distinctive profile instantly sets a scene in the 1960s and 1970s, when trailer-on-flatcar was reshaping North American freight.
Rapido recreates this trailer from a 1960s prototype built for piggyback and trucking service. Its fluted sides set it apart at a glance from its exterior-post cousin, and Rapido offers it in both dry-van and refrigerated forms, with or without a side door depending on the scheme. It's the perfect companion to Rapido's F30D/G flatcars — or any other TOFC car in your fleet. These bodies had never been offered as HO plastic models before. Finely detailed, this trailer brings your layout the realism Rapido is known for.
