Looking to recreate the golden age of piggyback (rail-road) transport on your layout, with a homegrown retail touch? The Rapido Trains 26' Can-Car trailer in Dominion Grocers colors is exactly what you need. These Dry-Van trailers, built by Can-Car Industries, weren't used only by CN and CP: retailers like the major Dominion grocery chain also operated them for their distribution. With their iconic ribbed sides and catchy graphics, they bring an authentic retro character to your scenes, right up until they were phased out of service in the 1980s.
What sets this model apart is the prototype fidelity Rapido is known for. A first for the industry: Rapido faithfully recreates this classic Canadian trailer, a subject rarely offered in model form. Perfect for loading onto your flatcars in piggyback (TOFC) configuration, or simply to bring a grocery loading dock, rail yard, or period city street to life, this finely decorated trailer will breathe life into your 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s scenes.
