HO 5-Bay Rapid Discharge Hopper ITGX Red Ready to Run (ATH98493)

This HO-scale, five-bay rapid-discharge hopper faithfully reproduces the ITGX sugar beet service car in red and comes ready to run for immediate placement on an HO layout. It’s designed to model bulk sugar-beet shipments in modern unit-train service, letting you recreate realistic unloading scenes on your layout.

The model features a highly detailed injection-molded body with a removable load, plus separately applied brake wheel and wire grab irons on the side ladders for added realism. It uses body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers, is weighted for steady operation, and rolls on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for reliable performance on most HO track. A minimum 18-inch radius is recommended. ITGX sugar beet cars include etched upper extensions in the poly bag, and the model is fully assembled and ready to run on layouts that use popular HO track brands.
