HO Bethgon Coalporter with Load, CSX #2 (ATH81602)

This HO-scale BethGon Coalporter with Load in CSX No. 2 livery is a detailed model freight car designed to reproduce the high-capacity coal carrier used in unit-train service. The loaded model reflects the bathtub-style, trough-bottom design and the car’s low center of gravity, delivering a realistic look and smoother handling on HO layouts.

Key details include a newly re-tooled injection-molded body with separate wire-form grab irons and etched metal coupler platforms, a separately applied brake wheel, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. The car rides on 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours and is weighted for steadier running. It’s painted and printed to capture authentic CSX decoration and offered in multiple road numbers to match a CSX fleet. One end houses a rotary coupler to let trains pass through rotary unloaders without uncoupling.
