It features separately applied brake gear—brake wheel, housing, chain, brake lever, air reservoir, brake cylinder and triple valve—and rides on 100-ton trucks with 36-inch nickel-silver wheels and RP25 contours for smooth operation on most HO tracks. Factory-applied roof walk, roof hatch, end details, ladders and wire grab irons add to the realism, while a carefully painted injection-molded body captures the car’s prototype look. Details include two outlet grate variations, see-through etched metal end platforms and roof walkways, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. Weighted for stable running and compatible with minimum HO radii of 18 inches, this model is ready to join a typical layout’s freight roster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003ePrimed for grime: the finish is designed to resemble an in-service car, with faded base colors matched to the prototype and ready-made weathering cues. It provides an excellent starting point for adding grime, rust and other wear to create a highly realistic, personalized display on a diorama or operating layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47906395095092,"sku":"ATH-2480","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH-2480.jpg?v=1781650310","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath-2480","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
