HO ATH 40' 4-Bay Offset Hopper with Load CN #330100 Plastic Model (ATH-1575)

HO-scale 40-foot, four-bay offset hopper with load is a detailed plastic freight car for HO model railroads, designed to represent open-hopper coal service. The removable load adds versatility for setup, weathering, or display.

On the rails it delivers prototypical operation with features like McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling, factory-applied wire grab irons, stirrup steps, end braces, and a brake platform for authentic detail, along with precision-machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth rolling. The separately applied brake gear includes a brake wheel and housing, air reservoir, brake cylinder, triple valve, and trainline with supports and roping eye, all weighted for optimum performance. Minimum radius is 18 inches, making it compatible with most HO layouts. The design evokes open hopper cars used in automated loading and unloading of commodities such as coal, reflecting real-world freight operations.
