HO 40' Wood Chip Hopper with Load (ATH-1279)

This HO-scale 40-foot Wood Chip Hopper with Load is a detailed freight car designed for authentic wood-chip service on HO layouts. It includes a removable wood chip load and a wood chip extension to recreate loading and unloading scenes, making it ideal for realistic operation.

Built for reliability and realism, the model features separately applied wire grab irons on ladders, a separately applied brake wheel, and machined metal wheels with RP25 contours that operate on all popular HO track brands. Weighted for optimum performance, it uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for secure, prototype-style coupling. Four-packs are available in four distinct numbers for different road names, giving hobbyists a coordinated fleet with variety.
