HO 60' Container CDAU #618123 / 618153 (ATH28534)

HO Scale 60-Foot Intermodal Container — the first true 60-foot container offered in HO scale — is available in two versions from Athearn (Version 2 and Version 3). With standard 40-foot attachment points and a high-cube profile, this model is designed to ride on HO-scale well cars and anchor intermodal trains with authentic proportions for Canadian-style layouts featuring long-vehicle configurations and bulky yet lightweight cargo.

In real-world service, these 60-foot containers were introduced in Canada around 2015 to support long vehicle combinations up to about 40 meters, making the 60-foot unit a practical choice for bulky cargo. They are built by Singamas Container and Dong Fang Container International and are typically carried in the top position of a 53-foot well car, stacked above another container. The model reproduces distinctive rib details — trapezoidal side ribs and vertical front ribs with flat rear doors — and some variants feature reinforced rear doors for added realism in intermodal scenes.
