HO 53' Wabash Plate Trailer Model (ATH72820)

HO-Scale 53-Foot Wabash Plate Trailer Model is an authentic HO-scale replica that captures the distinctive Wabash plate trailer used for piggyback service in the 1990s and beyond. It’s a detailed addition for TOFC trains and modern layout scenes, bringing authentic intermodal equipment to HO layouts.

The model features separately applied landing gear and mud flaps, a highly detailed injection-molded body, and paint and printing based on prototype photos. Its finish is primed for grime models, with faded base colors matching the prototype and a ready-made base for weathering grime and rust. Notable for its uneven rib spacing, the 53' plate trailer played a key role in 1990s–2000s piggyback operations before being replaced by the DuraPlate line, making this piece a credible, period-correct addition to HO TOFC scenes.
