HO 40' Wood Chip Hopper with Load (ATH-1277)

This HO-scale 40-foot Wood Chip Hopper with Load is a detailed freight car designed to haul wood chips on an HO model railroad. It includes a removable wood-chip load and a wood-chip extension, giving a convincing loaded appearance and flexibility for displaying both loaded and empty states on a layout.

On the rails, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours deliver smooth operation on popular track brands, while weights optimize stability during handling. The car uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for authentic coupling, and features separately applied wire grab irons on ladders plus a separate brake wheel for added realism. For roster variety, 4-packs are available in multiple road-name schemes with four distinct numbers, in addition to the single-car option.
