HO 53' Wabash Plate Trailer Model (ATH72823)

This HO-scale Wabash 53-foot Plate Trailer model is built for HO rail layouts, ideal for recreating late-90s trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC) trains. It features a highly detailed injection-molded body with separately applied landing gear and mud flaps, and a finish that's painted and printed from prototype photos to capture the look of in-service equipment from the era.

Primed for grime modeling, it provides an authentic in-service appearance with base colors faded to the prototype, making it a natural starting point for weathering with grime and rust. The real trailer is distinguished by its uneven exterior rib spacing and was a common choice for piggyback service in the 1990s and 2000s before being replaced by the DuraPlate design, so this model pairs well with other Wabash-era pieces to recreate period-accurate rail scenes.
