HO Athearn Bethgon Coalporter with Coal Load (ATH-2295)
This HO-scale BethGon Coalporter with Coal Load is a detailed model of Bethlehem Steel’s tub-style coalporter car, designed for HO railroading and coal-train scenes. It provides a realistic representation that works well as a centerpiece on mainline runs or in yard service, letting modelers recreate authentic coal-hauling operations.
The model captures the prototype’s practical features, including an all-aluminum look and a trough-style bottom for higher capacity and a lower center of gravity that improves tracking. The coal load is removable for display or customization, and the car is weighted for smooth operation. It includes separate wireform grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms, a separately applied brake wheel, and multiple road numbers. Equipped with 36" machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, and a highly detailed injection-molded body painted for realism, it offers faithful decoration and durability. The car negotiates a minimum 18" radius, and one end features a rotary coupler to allow feeding through a rotary unloader without uncoupling.
