HO 57' Trinity Spine Car (ATH41093)

HO-scale Trinity spine car — a faithful replica of the Trinity-built 70-ton RAF30A spine car used by TTX in the late 1990s, designed to carry 40-foot trailers and intermodal containers on HO layouts.

Features include a precision die-cast spine, separately applied brake piping, etched walkways, and fine ladder detail, plus McHenry scale knuckle spring couplers. It rolls on 33-inch solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours and includes trailer hitches in raised and collapsed configurations for flexible setup. Weighted for smooth operation and with a minimum radius of 20 inches, it runs reliably on common HO track. For loads, Athearn’s 40-foot trailers and containers are ideal, letting modelers create authentic intermodal scenes.
