HO 40' Offset Coal Hopper with Load, CB&Q #1 (ATH33081)

This HO-scale 40-foot offset coal hopper with a removable load is a detailed model designed for realistic coal-hauling on HO layouts. Finished in CB&Q livery, it captures the look and operation of a prototype coal car in a compact, ready-to-run package.

Removable load lets hobbyists stage unloading scenes or swap loads for varied displays, while factory-applied wire grab irons, stirrup steps, end braces, and a brake platform deliver authentic detailing. The car also features separately applied brake gear—brake wheel and housing, air reservoir, brake cylinder, triple valve, and trainline with supports and roping eye—plus a weighted balance, McHenry operating scale knuckles, and RP25 metal wheels for smooth, reliable operation. The injection-molded body is highly detailed, and the model arrives fully assembled and ready to run on HO track, capable of negotiating minimum 18-inch curves.
