Knuckle Couplers Metal Wheels Description:
Both of Canada’s two major railways started piggyback (TOFC) services in the 1950’s. By the late 60’s early 70’s this traffic had grown substantially and both railroads saw a need to purchase purpose-built flatcars that could handle both 26-foot and longer trailers, up to the then-new standard of 45-foot. The Canadian Piggyback Flatcar features: • Drawn from original blueprints • Two styles of hitches; upright and collapsed • Artworks sourced from original design drawings • Wire grab irons • Heavy die-cast center sill • Barber S-2 trucks with metal wheels • Photo-etched deck surface • Rapido semi-scale metal knuckle couplers Pre-Order, Not Yet In Stock - Expected Delivery 2023 |
