HO Ortner 5-Bay Rapid Discharge Hopper UP #94480 #94485 #94492 #94496 #94500 Plastic Model (ATH-1044)

This HO-scale Ortner 5-Bay Rapid-Discharge Hopper is a ready-to-run freight car set designed to bring realistic five-bay hopper service to HO layouts. The five-car set includes five individually numbered cars, each with a removable load for versatile display or operation.

Built on newly tooled, highly detailed injection-molded bodies, the cars feature separately applied metal grab irons and end cages rather than molded railings for sharper scale realism. They ride on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and are equipped with body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers, weighted for steadier tracking. With an 18-inch minimum radius and compatibility with common HO-track brands, these cars are fully assembled and ready to run, with additional refinements such as detailed brake-line piping, an etched stainless-steel brake wheel platform, and hopper-door linkage that enhances the see-through effect when loaded.
