Piggyback flatcars carried highway trailers long before the double-stack, and Canadian roads ran them hard through the 1960s and 70s. Rapido has modelled the Vancouver Iron Works version with the details that separate it from the American cars.
This is sold as a single car drawn from the matching set, so the road number you receive will vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will it ship?
Rapido expects this run around 11 Sep 2026. We ship it the day it reaches us.
How does the pre-order work?
Pick your terms at checkout: pay in full, or pay a 10% deposit with the balance invoiced before it ships. Either way your unit is held for you.
Which road number will I get?
These singles are pulled at random from the matching set, so we cannot promise a specific number. If you want particular numbers, the multi-pack is the way to go.
Is the run limited?
Yes. Rapido builds these in limited quantities and does not usually repeat a scheme, so reserving early is the way to be sure of one.
