Looking for a versatile piggyback trailer you could spot just about everywhere? The Rapido Trains 45' Trailmobile dry van trailer in Transport International Pool (TIP) colors is exactly what you need. TIP was a major trailer-leasing company: its units ran in the service of a wide range of carriers and businesses, making them a familiar sight on the roads and rails. A leased trailer like this one fits believably into almost any consist or period scene.
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.
