HO RTR 40' Fruehauf Trailer, PC/PCTZ #295532 (ATH16132)

HO scale 40-foot Fruehauf Z-Van intermodal trailer — a ready-to-run model that brings authentic intermodal traffic to HO layouts. These Z-Van trailers were built for intermodal service, designed to endure the rigors of road and rail, and this replica captures the rugged appearance of that era’s equipment.

Details include separately applied mud flaps, rubber tires, and door-rod configurations that vary by prototype, with options for wheeled or shoe-style landing gear. The model arrives fully assembled and ready to run, and the highly detailed injection-molded body faithfully reproduces the look of the real trailer. Across the Z-Van family there are ribbed-side, beaded-side, and smooth-side versions, reflecting the evolution of construction. The 40-foot length was the original standard, with 45-foot extensions appearing later, making this trailer a versatile addition to road and rail scenes from the 1970s through the 2000s.
