HO RTR 53' Wabash Plate Trailer (ATH72815)

HO-scale Ready-To-Run 53-foot Wabash plate trailer, a faithful model for modern freight on HO layouts. This Wabash Duraplate trailer captures the look of late-20th-century intermodal equipment, making it ideal for realistic road and piggyback scenes.

Detail highlights include separate etched-metal hazmat placards (where applicable) and painted etched-metal mudflaps, along with a painted roof, lights, conspicuity stripes, and door closure rods. The trailer rides on eight rubber tires and includes sand shoes applied with removable glue, plus a sliding tandem and full assembly for immediate placement on a layout. In the real world, 53-foot trailers became standard in the mid-1990s after DOT approval for interstate use, and the Wabash Duraplate trailer remains a common sight on highways and in piggyback service today.
