Rapido Trains HO – 45' Trailmobile Dry Van Trailer
Looking to complete your piggyback flatcars with the trailer that brings your intermodal cuts to life — and that colorful, distinctly Canadian touch that catches the eye on a layout? This collection brings together all of Rapido Trains' 45' Trailmobile dry-van trailers. A trailer on a flatcar is what turns a plain car into a believable TOFC scene; parked near a loading dock or terminal, it livens up your roadside settings just as well.
Rapido recreates these trailers from well-documented prototypes. The 45' Trailmobile trailers arrived in Canada in the mid-1970s, nearly a decade before they launched in the US. Both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific ran good quantities, as did small and large trucking firms — and many wore colorful schemes. This collection captures all that variety: versions with and without side doors (for easier access), across a range of liveries and operators. Each trailer includes a two-piece landing gear, buildable in either in-motion (hitched) or parked position. Finely detailed, these trailers bring your layout the realism Rapido is known for.
What this collection brings together:
- 45' Trailmobile dry-van trailers, HO scale (1:87)
- Versions with and without side doors
- Multiple liveries and operators (CP Transport, CN, Smith Transport, Canada Cartage, and more)
- Signature ribbed sides, faithful to the prototype
- Two-piece landing gear: in-motion or parked position
- Ideal for loading your piggyback flatcars or animating roadside and terminal scenes
- Mid-1970s through 1990s era
