Athearn June 2024 Announcement: Athearn HO Drop Frame Spread Axle Chassis with Tank Container

The tank container chassis was specifically designed to hold ISO tank
containers containing both hazardous and non-hazardous bulk liquids. Due
to their shifting contents, tanks are at greater risk for turn-over accidents.
The drop-frame of the tank chassis has a lower center of gravity to
compensate for this tendency. 20ft ISO tank container chassis are generally
used in ports, shipyards, routes, and transfer stations for transporting 20ft
ISO tank containers.

SWEET...I have been wanting a good quality RTR model of these for years! I will definitely be buying some of these.

Those are cool. Several trucking companies had them like Matlack, Dana Leasing, Agmark Transportation etc....

I actually did a preventative maintenance inspection on one of these for Great Lakes Brewing! Man, they're a land barge to maneuver, but are very unique with how they're designed.

[@AthearnModelTrains]

They are indeed an interesting prototype, it will be great to have these in HO scale now.

Is it possible? Athearn actually announcing newly tooled chassis? Now, how about a 2010 Ford F-150!
