Dear HO Scale Customers; Athearn has announced a new run of Yard Tractors with 45ft Container and Chassis. Check them out!
PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
An intermodal container, often called a shipping container, is a large standardized shipping container, designed and built for intermodal freight transport. These containers can be used across different modes of transport – from ship to rail to truck – without unloading and reloading their cargo. Intermodal containers are primarily used to store and transport materials and products efficiently and securely in the global containerized intermodal freight transport system. A container chassis, also called intermodal chassis, is a type of semitrailer designed to securely carry an intermodal container. Chassis are used by truckers to deliver containers between ports, rail-yards, container depots, and shipper facilities.
