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 a 6-pack, so the road numbers differ within the set and you get a believable block of cars rather than the same number repeated down the train.
