With a 4,600 cubic foot capacity, the car was designed to haul grain and other bulk commodities and to unload by gravity through a rounded, center-sill-free body. The CenterFlow design enabled operation within Plate B clearances for light branch lines and industrial service, making it a modern replacement for aging 40-foot boxcars in grain service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eThe model captures three body styles—Early, Mid, and Late—each reflecting era-appropriate details such as brake wheel heights, end ladders, and stiffeners, along with round or trough hatches, a photo-etched roofwalk, and detailed outlets. It includes separately applied brake wheels, screw-mounted 100-ton trucks with 36-inch machined metal wheels, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. Weighed for smooth operation and fully assembled, it arrives ready to run with accurate paint and printing. The minimum recommended radius is 9¾ inches, and multiple road numbers are provided to add realism to grain-train consists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47899168374836,"sku":"ATH12943","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH12943.jpg?v=1781278024","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath12943","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
