Triple
Crown ex CN Dura Plate RoadRailers - New!
|
Triple
Crown Services operates the largest fleet of RoadRailers
in the world. Triple Crown was originally formed by Conrail
and Norfolk Southern to serve their priority customers.
Triple Crowns also run on CP and BNSF. The Triple Crowns
run in unit trains up to 125 units long -- so deLuxe
is offering multiple road #'s.
The latest in this series from deLuxe is a 6 pack of the Tan ex-CN Road Railers.
The 6 Pack includes 3 each of the Tan and 3 of the white scheme (as shown
above). A single car is also available in the Tan scheme. |

1st
Release - Smoothside DuraPlate Road Railer! |
What
is DuraPlate? The DuraPlate trailer sidewalls are made
of a remarkable composite material.
The DuraPlate material is composed of a polyethylene plastic
core sandwiched between two sheets of pre-painted (inner
and outer) high-strength galvanized steel. The result is
an efficient, lightweight, incredibly strong panel that
provides important advantages over both aluminum plate
and traditional sheet and post sidewall designs. Because
the DuraPlate material is stiffer than aluminum, the DuraPlate
trailer does not require the thin exterior posts used on
the plate trailer. The result: a smooth, "clean" outside
wall perfect for customer graphics.
Just like the prototype, the difference between the model
and our plate wall RoadRailer trailer is all in the body.
Train assembly and operation are exactly the same. The
first regular release for this body style is Canadian National.
CN began it's RoadRailer service between Montreal and Toronto
and then expanded it to Chicago. Then they began interchange
service with the BNSF RoadRailer train from Chicago to
California. These trailers are gray with silver trim and
black, white and red lettering and logos. The cartoon RoadRailer
train is reversed on the passenger-side so it always faces
forward. Like many of our RoadRailer releases, these are
available in 2 different 10 packs and a single for a total
of 21 different road numbers. Each 10 pack includes a CouplerMate
rail bogie.

CouplerMate
Rail Bogie is used
to connect RoadRailers to rest of the train. One will connect
a whole string of RoadRailers. If this "section" is at the
end of the train, only 1 CouplerMate is needed. If you wish
to run the "cut" of RoadRailers mid-train, you would then require
2 CouplerMates, one for use at each end of the string. RoadRailer
is not included, available separately. |

When
Amtrak offered to haul Swift Transportation¹s
RoadRailer trailers on the end of their passenger
trains, Swift was immediately faced with a shortage
of equipment. Unable to pull trailers away from the
Los Angeles - Portland train (a single paper company
loads nearly the entire southbound train,) Swift
ran to RoadRailer builder Wabash National and leased
enough trailers to cover the shortage. These were
added to the Swift pool and can be found on the LA-Portland
train, on many Amtrak trains, as well as on the highway.
While
the back door received the glitzy Swift logo
complete with golden "S", the sides
gave top billing to Wabash National with only
a small Swift logo about a third of the way down
from the nose end. These trailers carry WNCZ
reporting marks (registered to Wabash National.)
This
run is available in two different 10 packs and
a single for a total of 21 different road numbers.
Each 10 pack includes a CouplerMate rail bogie.

TMM
Logistics RoadRailers
TMM
Logistics is affiliated with TFM railroad which is
affiliated with Kansas City Southern. When running
on rails, the TMM Logistics trailers are usually coupled
to the end of double stack container trains (usually
in blocks of 10 to 40 trailers.) These models represent
TMM¹s
second group of RoadRailer trailers. This group was leased
from builder Wabash National and most had been in the
Schneider National fleet at one time. These are 53'
PlateWall design
trailers which differ from TMM's original batch which
were of the DuraPlate design. Each RoadRailer train
requires
a CouplerMate (deLuxe #18000, available separately)
to connect
them to the locomotives or other type of car. This run
is available in 10 different road numbers.
