HO 53' Wabash Plate Trailer Dirksen #57040 (ATH72830)

HO-scale 53-foot Wabash Plate Trailer, Dirksen design, built for modern intermodal layouts and piggyback (TOFC) trains. The model features a highly detailed injection-molded body with separately applied landing gear and mud flaps, and is painted and printed from prototype photos to faithfully reproduce the look of the real trailer.

Dating to the 1990s, the Wabash Plate trailer is notable for its uneven rib spacing and its use in piggyback service through the 1990s and 2000s, before being superseded by the DuraPlate line. This replica captures that heritage and is primed for grime weathering, with base colors faded to match the prototype and ready for rust and wear to taste. It makes a compelling addition to HO-scale intermodal scenes, pairing well with modern fleets on TOFC layouts.
