HO Ortner 5-Bay Rapid Discharge Hopper (ATH-1154)

HO Ortner 5-Bay Rapid Discharge Hopper is an HO-scale model of a five-bay hopper car designed to reproduce rapid discharge operations on a model railroad. The set includes five cars, each with a unique road number to reflect prototypical variety.

Built with newly-tooled, highly detailed injection-molded bodies, this five-car lineup rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and uses body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers for reliable operation. Features such as removable loads, separately applied metal grab irons and end cages, detailed brake lines, an etched stainless-steel brake wheel platform, and accurately scaled hopper door linkage add to the realism. The cars are weighted for smooth handling and ready to run on standard layouts, with a minimum radius of 18 inches.
