Athearn RTR HO Scale ATH72530: Western Pacific 40' Piggyback Trailer #209128
This is a model railroad product from Athearn's Ready-to-Run (RTR) line in HO scale (1:87). It's a detailed replica of a 40-foot piggyback trailer used for intermodal freight transport, decorated in the classic Western Pacific Railroad (WP) livery. The specific trailer number is #209128. Piggyback trailers like this were commonly loaded onto flatcars for rail transport during the mid-20th century.
