HO Drop-Frame Spread-Axle Chassis with Tank Container (ATH-2111)

HO-scale Drop-Frame Spread-Axle Chassis paired with a 20' ISO Tank Container is a detailed intermodal model designed to reproduce bulk-liquid transport on HO layouts. The low-profile drop-frame chassis pairs with a standard 20-foot tank container, featuring top- and bottom-lift points and a rugged frame that protects the container during loading and unloading. To enhance on-layout realism, a hidden weight brings the total container weight to about 1.7 ounces, improving stability and how the model sits on the track.

For authentic operation, the set includes lowered landing gear and a front lift kit that raises the container about 12 inches to aid gravity unloading, along with an etched metal walkway, rubber wheels on metal axles, and detailed air tanks and suspension. Built from multiple parts for high fidelity, it is compatible with standard 20' tank containers and can be depicted either attached to a tractor or staged at a facility during unloading. The package includes two cargo-lifting bags—one for secure transit and another that can be unlocked and lifted for draining—to provide flexible display options in different unloading scenarios.
