HO 45' Fruehauf Z-Van Trailer Model (ATH16148)

An HO-scale 45-foot Fruehauf Z-Van trailer model designed for intermodal layouts. This highly detailed trailer reproduces the classic Z-Van used in road-and-rail service, featuring an injection-molded body painted and printed for realistic decoration, with separately applied mud flaps and rubber tires to capture authentic detailing.

Historically, Z-Van trailers were built for durability in intermodal operation, with the 45-foot version introduced after the original 40-foot design. Real equipment offered refrigeration options and variations in landing gear configurations and door rods. This HO model reflects that era’s look, making a convincing addition to road and rail scenes from the 1970s through the 2000s and ideal for yard, trackside, or siding dioramas on an HO layout.
