{"product_id":"ath81599","title":"HO Bethgon Coalporter with Load (ATH81599)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eHO BethGon Coalporter with Load is an HO-scale model coal car designed to reproduce Bethlehem Steel’s high-capacity BethGon design in miniature. The loaded car recreates the distinctive bathtub-style, all-aluminum body with a trough-style bottom that boosts carrying capacity and lowers the center of gravity for steadier tracking on layout curves. In real service, one end carried a rotary coupler to feed a train through a rotary unloader without uncoupling, a heritage detail reflected in the model for authentic operation in unit-train scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eKey details include a newly re-tooled injection-molded body with separately applied wire-form grab irons and etched metal coupler platforms, a separately mounted brake wheel, multiple road numbers for variety, 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and weight for optimum performance. The model uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, a painted and printed finish for realistic decoration, and is designed for HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius to deliver smooth operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924864876596,"sku":"ATH81599","price":310.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH81599.jpg?v=1782140823","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath81599","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
