HO RTR 5-Bay Rapid Discharge Hopper ITGX (ATH98494)

HO Scale Ready-to-Run 5-Bay Rapid Discharge Hopper ITGX is a sugar beet service freight car designed to model bulk unloading on HO layouts. It recreates ITGX cars used in unit trains to haul sugar beets from loading points to processing facilities, featuring a rapid-discharge door system that speeds unloading for prototypical operations.

Key details include a highly detailed injection-molded body, removable load, and separately applied brake wheel and wire grab irons on side ladders. The model uses body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on popular HO track, and is weighted for stable running. It arrives fully assembled and ready to run, with etched upper extensions included in a poly bag for added realism and a minimum radius of 18 inches to fit most layouts.
