N ATH Bethgon Coalporter with Coal Load BNSF #671039 (ATH-2304)

An N-scale BethGon Coalporter with Coal Load in BNSF markings, a faithful reproduction of the Bethlehem Steel Johnstown American BethGon coal car. Based on the classic “Bathtub” design, this model increases carrying capacity and lowers the center of gravity for steadier tracking on long coal trains.

Designed for realistic operation on modern layouts, it includes a removable coal load, a separately applied brake wheel, and body-mounted McHenry scale knuckle couplers for authentic coupling. The car rides on 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP-25 contours, is weighted for improved performance, and runs on Code 40, 55 and 80 rail. It features screw-mounted 100-ton roller bearing trucks and an injection-molded, painted and printed body for lifelike decoration. One end is equipped with a rotary coupler to feed through a rotary unloader without uncoupling, and the minimum radius is 9 3/4 inches.
