HO 40' Wood Chip Hopper with Load (ATH-1278)

HO-scale 40-foot Wood Chip Hopper with Load is a detailed freight car designed for realistic wood-chip service on HO model railroad layouts. It features a removable wood-chip load and a wood-chip extension to mirror the look of a fully equipped hopper when loaded.

For realistic operation, it includes separately applied wire grab irons on ladders and a separately applied brake wheel, along with machined metal wheels with RP25 contours that roll smoothly on most popular HO track brands. The car uses body-mounted McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers and is weighted for steady tracking. Four-packs are offered, providing four unique numbers for each road name to create varied, prototypical consists.
