N 45' Fruehauf Z-Van Trailer (ATH13839)

Meet the 45-foot Fruehauf Z-Van Trailer, an N-scale model designed for intermodal road-and-rail layouts. This newly tooled, first-time offering in N scale recreates the durable Z-Van used in combined highway and rail service from the 1970s through the 2000s and is available in two body styles—rib-sided and smooth-sided—for authentic variety on the layout.

The model features a highly detailed injection-molded body with accurate painting and decoration. It includes separate, work-ready details such as a wire landing gear crank, mud flaps, and positionable bogies, letting you set a natural stance on tracks or roads. In real life, Z-Van trailers were built for intermodal use and offered options like refrigeration equipment and different landing gear configurations; this version captures those era-specific characteristics to help recreate convincing road-and-rail scenes.
