HO 40' Fruehauf Trailer XTRA XTRZ (ATH-1163)

This HO-scale 40-foot Fruehauf Z-Van intermodal trailer is a ready-to-run model designed to enhance intermodal and freight scenes on model railroads. Reflecting the era when Z-Van trailers moved between roads and rails, it provides an authentic, period-appropriate addition to yard, interchange, and rolling stock layouts.

The model features a highly detailed injection-molded body that’s painted and printed for realistic decoration, with separately applied mud flaps and rubber tires. Depending on the prototype, it includes door rods in 2- or 4-door configurations and landing gear offered in wheel-mounted or shoe-style versions. Fully assembled and ready to place on the layout, it captures the evolution of 40-foot intermodal trailers—from ribbed and beaded sides to smooth-skin designs—making it a versatile centerpiece for HO-scale scenes from the 1970s through the 2000s.
