Looking for a modern intermodal car, a staple of double-stack trains, with an international touch? The Rapido Trains Gunderson 53' Husky-Stack well car in Ferromex colors (FXE reporting mark) is exactly that kind of car. Mexico's principal railroad, Ferromex is one of the major owners of these cars, commonly seen in cross-border intermodal traffic. Since every intermodal train includes at least three or four cars of this type, it's a believable building block for a realistic consist — and the Ferromex livery adds a North American variety that stands out from the ordinary.
What sets this model apart is the prototype fidelity Rapido is known for. The Gunderson 53' single-unit well car is the latest iteration of the famous Husky-Stack: thousands have been built for TTX (DTTX), Canadian Pacific (CP), Ferromex (FXE), and the Arkansas & Oklahoma (AOK), and they're seen all over the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Please note: two of the three containers shown in the product image are included, selected at random. Full die-cast body for excellent performance loaded or empty, improved see-through etched metal walkways, injection-moulded plastic end handrails and brake detailing, 33" metal wheels, and metal knuckle couplers: everything is there for a realistic car, ready to run right out of the box.
