HO 40' Ribbed 3-Bay Ballast Hopper UP #2 (4) (ATH7650)

HO-scale 40-foot ribbed three-bay ballast hopper in Union Pacific livery, road number 2, available as a four-car set for realistic ballast-hauling on HO layouts. The model recreates an open-hopper design that carries loose bulk loads such as ballast along the railroad network.

Features include a removable load, separately applied wire grab irons and brake wheel, and solid nickel-silver wheels with RP25 contours. The car is weighted for smooth operation, with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, a highly detailed injection-molded body, and painted and printed decoration for realistic presentation. A minimum radius of 18 inches keeps it compatible with common HO layouts and adds authentic ballast service to a model railroading scene.
