Looking for a versatile gondola to build out your bulk-freight consists? The Rapido Trains 40' drop bottom gondola in Canadian National colors with 9" lettering is exactly what you need. This type of open car, with discharge hoppers in the floor, hauled all kinds of bulk loads — coal, ore, pulpwood — and emptied quickly through the bottom, a strength that made it a true workhorse of the rail yards. The 9" lettering variant lets you faithfully recreate a specific CN decoration.
What sets this model apart is the prototype fidelity Rapido is known for. Designed from original blueprints and field measurements, it faithfully recreates the prototype, right down to the interior and underframe details. Fully detailed interior and underframe, Rapido semi-scale metal couplers, free-rolling trucks with turned metal wheels: everything is there for a realistic car, ready to run, alone or in long bulk-service cuts.
