The Gunderson 53ft single-unit doublestack well car is the latest iteration of the famous Husky-Stack and every intermodal train includes at least three or four cars of this type. The 74ft long (over strikers) Gunderson 53ft Husky-Stack car can carry 20′ to 53′ containers in the well with containers from 40′ to 53′ in the top position. Over 2,600 were built for the TTX Company (DTTX) and Canadian Pacific (CP) and they are seen all over the USA and Canada. We are also releasing the car painted in the new TTX ‘Forward Thinking’ livery given to the almost identical 48′ Husky-Stack cars extended to 53′ from 2009. 1,100 of these were reworked by Gunderson between 2009-2010.

The really good news is that this delay has allowed us to respond to customer feedback and upgrade the specification with NO CHANGE in the popular "wife-approved" MSRP. We've taken this model out of the Prime Movers by Rapido range and given it etched metal walkways and factory-installed vertical handrail grabs. The container twin packs will now also feature individually numbered containers, so if you're a stickler for that sort of thing you don't have to change any numbers.

Here's a quick recap. The Rapido 53' well car is a single-unit double-stack design built at Trenton Works, Nova Scotia, between 2003-4. Nearly 4,000 of these Husky Stacks are operating across the USA and Canada with TTX Company (DTTX) and Canadian Pacific (CP) reporting marks and it's not unusual to find at least three or four 53' Husky Stacks in a train.

The 53' high-cube container was constructed by Hyundai and is an insulated dry box design with riveted sheet/post sides and an optional heater box/fuel tank. These are among the most common containers in Canada, designed to protect cargo transported through the extreme cold of the winter, and can be found painted in the colorful schemes of Canadian National, Canadian Pacific and numerous transportation companies. Similar designs can also be found working across the USA.

Three paint schemes (plus undecorated) are available on the well car:

    TTX Original (DTTX)
