Looking for a complete piggyback set, ready to run with nothing to assemble? The Rapido Trains Marine Industries piggyback flatcar in CP Rail colors, already loaded with a 45' trailer, is exactly what you need. Rather than buying the flatcar and its trailer separately, you get a realistic, complete TOFC scene in one go — the Canadian carrier car topped with its 45' trailer, ready to drop into your intermodal cuts. Please note: the included trailer may come, at random, in CP Rail, CP Express, CP Transport, or any other livery in the CP family.
What sets this model apart is the prototype fidelity Rapido is known for. Drawn from original blueprints, the flatcar recreates one of the 305 cars Canadian Pacific ordered from Marine Industries Limited (MIL) in 1972, delivered in the 505625-505930 series and kept in service through several rebuilding programs. Purpose-built for TOFC service, it handles trailers up to the 45' standard, and its shorter length (compared to 89' TOFC flatcars) lets it negotiate tighter curves. Heavy die-cast center sill, photo-etched deck, wire grab irons, and modeler-installable hitches: everything is there for a realistic, weighty set, ready to run.
