Description
The TrainWorx 45384-05 is an N scale (1:160) 53-foot highway trailer in Roadway Express livery — road number #558677 — for modern Class 8 truck-and-trailer scenes on the layout.
Prototype: The 53-foot dry van trailer is the standard long-haul road trailer on North American highways — wide enough to hold two side-by-side pallets and long enough for typical truckload (TL) and dedicated freight service. The de facto US Class 8 trailer length since the mid-1980s.
Carrier: Roadway Express (founded 1930) was one of the iconic 'Big Four' US LTL carriers, famous for its white tractors / trailers with orange-and-black ROADWAY lettering. Merged with Yellow Freight to form YRC Worldwide in 2003. Roadway equipment was a staple of US Interstate truck traffic from the 1950s through 2010s.

About TrainWorx: US-based specialty manufacturer of prototype-accurate N-scale (1:160) highway vehicles — trucks, pup-van trailers, 53-foot trailers, and converter dollies — for layout scenes and grade-crossing dioramas.

Rubber tires and crisp printing make them indistinguishable from the real thing at scale viewing distances.
