HO 40' Offset Coal Hopper with Load, SCL #1 (ATH33090)

This HO-scale 40-foot offset coal hopper with load, SCL No. 1, is a detailed model of a coal car designed for realistic bulk-commodity transport on HO layouts. It reflects the shift toward automated loading and unloading for coal and other bulk cargos, offering a faithful, ready-to-run representation for prototype-inspired scenes.

Beyond its visual fidelity, the model includes a removable coal load and factory-applied detailing such as wire grab irons, stirrup steps, end braces, and a brake platform. It features separately applied brake gear, including a brake wheel, housing, air reservoir, brake cylinder, triple valve, and trainline with supports and a roping eye. Weighted for stable operation, it rides on precision-machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and uses McHenry operating-scale knuckle couplers. The car arrives fully assembled and ready to run, with a highly detailed injection-molded body and a minimum curve radius of 18 inches.
