Description
The TrainWorx 45385-07 is an N scale (1:160) 53-foot highway trailer in Yellow Freight livery — road number #532004 — 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: Yellow Freight System (founded 1924, Oklahoma City) — another of the iconic 'Big Four' US LTL carriers, instantly recognisable by the bright orange tractors and trailers with bold YELLOW branding. Merged with Roadway to form YRC Worldwide in 2003. Continued under the YRC and later Yellow Corporation names until ceasing operations in 2023.

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. Each model is decorated in the correct livery of a real LTL (less-than-truckload) carrier, with proper road numbers and DOT lettering. Rubber tires and crisp printing make them indistinguishable from the real thing at scale viewing distances.
