Description

Artitec 20.284.37 H0 SSy55 217-8 P heavy goods wagon, USATC, Era IV - Heavy goods logistics of the US Army in a model

With the Artitec 20.284.37 H0 SSy55 217-8 P heavy goods wagon, you can bring an authentic piece of military railroad history to your model railway layout. This detailed model is based on a heavy-duty wagon that was procured by the U.S. Army Transportation Corps (USATC) in the mid-1950s for use in Germany. In Era IV, this type of wagon played a central role in the transportation of heavy military equipment - and today is emblematic of the military infrastructure of the post-war period.

Robust, reliable, military - the SSy55 in the service of the US troops

The SSy55 was a heavy-duty truck developed specifically for the logistical challenges of the US armed forces. Built around 1955, it was characterized by its high load capacity and exceptional stability - ideal for transporting tanks, trucks and heavy equipment. The US troops stationed in Germany used it regularly and it quickly became a permanent fixture on Central European tracks.
