HO 45' Fruehauf Z-Van Trailer Smooth Side (ATH-2603)
This HO-scale 45-foot Fruehauf Z-Van Smooth Side trailer is a detailed model designed for authentic road and rail layouts. The Z-Van family progressed from ribbed-side and beaded-side versions to the smooth-side design, with 40-foot models originally and 45-foot versions introduced later—the smooth-side variant representing the most modern construction.
From the Athearn line, this HO-scale model captures options such as refrigeration equipment, different landing gear configurations, and door rod designs. It represents one of three body styles used for Z-Van trailers, with the smooth-side form offering period-correct detail for road and rail scenes from the 1970s through the 2000s.
