{"product_id":"ath81605","title":"HO Bethgon Coalporter with Load, UP #2 (ATH81605)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product_description\"\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eBethGon Coalporter with Load, Union Pacific #2 is an HO-scale coal car designed to add authentic capacity to coal-hauling trains on a model railroad. This detailed release features a newly re-tooled body, separately applied wire-form grab irons and etched metal coupler platforms, a separately applied brake wheel, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. It rolls on 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, is weighted for smooth handling, and comes painted and decorated with realistic road markings, with multiple road numbers available and a minimum radius of 18 inches to fit a wide range of layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003cp\u003eThe Coalporter was developed to deliver higher capacity and efficiency in coal service. Built by Bethlehem Steel’s Johnstown American Corporation, this “Bathtub” car uses all-aluminum construction and a trough-style bottom for added carrying capacity and a lower center of gravity for better tracking. Coalporters typically run in solid unit trains, and this model captures that role; one end of the car features a rotary coupler to allow a train to pass through a rotary unloader without uncoupling, a detail that enhances realistic loading and unloading scenes on HO layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Athearn (ATH)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47844028710964,"sku":"ATH81605","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/6653\/8292\/files\/ATH81605.jpg?v=1779964985","url":"https:\/\/nankinhobby.com\/products\/ath81605","provider":"Nankin Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
