HO 53' Wabash Plate Trailer (ATH72824)

This HO-scale Wabash 53-foot Plate Trailer is a detailed model built for HO layouts, especially suited to piggyback and TOFC trains. The injection-molded body features separately applied landing gear and mud flaps, and is painted and printed from prototype photos to faithfully capture a late-1990s appearance.

Primed for grime modelers, it presents a realistic in-service look with base colors faded to match the prototype, offering a perfect starting point for adding grime and rust. The Wabash Plate trailer is a 1990s design known for its uneven rib spacing and was commonly used in piggyback service before being replaced by the DuraPlate line, so these veterans still appear on roads and rails today, lending an authentic late-20th-century anchor to a layout.
