It features a highly detailed injection-molded body with authentic paint and printing, plus separately applied wire grab irons and a brake wheel for true-to-life detail. A removable load adds versatility for customizing ballast content or display, while body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers ensure prototypical coupling behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eWeighted for optimum performance, the car rides on nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours and is designed for HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius for reliable operation on curves and switches. The combination of robust detailing, durable construction, and Union Pacific decoration makes it a practical addition to ballast yards, mainline runs, or dioramas where bulk-car movement is part of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47632920870964,"sku":"ATH7649","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH7649.jpg?v=1774531895","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath7649","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
