Is this trailer available in N scale?

Not even sure if it is a 40, or 45'.  Looks too short for 50' trailer. Not looking for an exact match, but for something close. Especially the detail near the roof seems distinctive. The MTL and Atlas trailers I have are of different prototype. It also has a roll-up door, but I don't expect any N scale models with that feature.  @cfritschle ?

Looks like a 40-footer, and it could be a Stoughton based on the plate in the front lower corner.

Athearn offers a roll-up door, but you’d have to shorten the trailer length or graft the Athearn end on a 40’ model.

Peter,

No, that trailer is not available in N scale, and I agree with Bryan that it appears to be a 40-ft trailer, or maybe even a little less than 40-ft.    

One could possibly start with a the Con-Cor/Herpa 40-ft trailer and add the detail, and make it 13' 6" tall.  This trailer in the following link was kitbashed before any 28-ft pups were available in N scale, and might be useful as a "core" to apply the details that will be needed to make the Coke trailer.  https://nscalevehicles.org/tips_n_tricks/concor_28ft_pup.php

I am going to guess the rims are 16” rims so that should give you an approximate place to start.

Pretty sure this is 35 feet. This is a common size for food delivery where a can load will overload before cubing out. Years ago I was researching Sysco trailers and a large portion were 35' if I remember correctly.

 Coke sure has some gorgeous rigs on the road! Always pristine, at least in my area. A model with tractor and trailer would sure be nice!

Those wheels are most likely 22’s which is pretty much industry standard nowadays. Also note the automatic tire pressure maintenance system which uses air from the brake system to keep the tires properly inflated. Looks like it also has a Thoroguard bumper which is kind of unusual. Most trailers of this length tend to have lift gates.

It has 8, 4' siding panels, plus a extra 16" to 20" wide panel at the rear, another 10 to 12 inches on the front. So I'm going to say 34' to 35'

Thanks guys!  The trailer looks so clean because it is brand spankin' new.  Still has its temporary tags.  I took the original photos few weeks ago, and I wasn't sure if those trailers (there were several new ones) would still be there.  I took a chance and drove there today, and some of the trailers were still there.

I was able to took some more photos and measurements.  The tires are 295 75R22.5 and the OD of the rims is 23".  The red reflective stripes on the sides are exactly 9" longs.  with that info I  calculated that the trailer is 34.5' long.  Here is a photo of its rear.



Now to find best candidates for a kitbash.  Or I might just "go foob" and decorate a 40' model. Not sure yet.  It is one of my many future projects.

I may not have had the right size (I left transportation over 20 years ago) but I at least got people pointed the right direction!

My guess (and it's just a guess) is that you're looking at a Vanguard National VIP 4000 model trailer. Here's a link to a used one for sale too...
