The prototype entered service in the 1950s, with the Centerflow design introduced in the 1960s to provide a rounded body for strength and easier gravity unloading, carrying about 2,970 cubic feet of capacity. The model is painted and printed for realistic decoration on HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eThe detailing includes round or trough hatches, a photo-etched metal roof walk, and separately applied wire grab irons, stirrup steps and brake wheel, plus detailed outlets and a separate brake cylinder, valve and air reservoir with wire brake plumbing. It rides on screw-mounted express-type trucks with machined RP25 wheels, and is weighted for smooth operation with body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable coupling on curves as small as 18 inches. The injection-molded body is highly finished, delivering authentic appearance to mid‑century HO scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924864254004,"sku":"ATH81056","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH81056.jpg?v=1782140634","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath81056","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
