HO Drop-Frame Spread-Axle Chassis with Container (ATH-2113)

HO-scale Drop-Frame Spread-Axle Chassis with a 20' ISO Tank Container is a detailed model that captures how bulk liquids are moved on real railways. The container and chassis are designed to detach, enabling realistic loading and unloading, while the low-profile drop-frame chassis provides stability for handling liquid payloads on a layout.

Key features include raised and lowered landing gear, a lift kit for raising the container, and two cargo-lifting bag options—one for secure transit and one for lifting for drainage. The model showcases rubber wheels on metal axles, an etched metal walkway, and visible air tanks and suspension details, assembled from dozens of parts for authentic scale detail. It’s compatible with all Athearn 20' containers and can be depicted either connected to a tractor en route or docked during unloading; a hidden weight adds realism by giving the container convincing mass on the chassis.
