HO 45' Fruehauf Z-Van Trailer (ATH16139)
HO scale 45-foot Fruehauf Z-Van trailer is a highly detailed model designed for intermodal road-and-rail layouts, delivering an authentic look for vintage freight scenes. It features a precisely injection-molded body, separately applied mud flaps, rubber tires, and a painted and printed finish to capture the era’s decoration and detailing.
These Z-Van trailers were built for intermodal service in the 1970s and 1980s, designed to move between rail cars and highways. The model reproduces three distinct body styles—ribbed-side, beaded-side, and smooth-side—and the 45-foot length that followed the original 40-foot version. Options such as refrigeration equipment and different landing gear configurations were available on the real trailers, and this HO rendition brings that history to life, making it a realistic addition to road- and rail-themed layouts from the 1970s through the 2000s.
