HO 5-Bay Rapid Discharge Hopper HLMX #2 Model Train Car (ATH98498)

HO scale 5-Bay Rapid-Discharge Sugar Beet Hopper is a detailed model of a bulk-car built for HO layouts to represent sugar beet service. Designed for unit-train operation, this five-bay hopper features a removable load and a prototypical paint scheme to bring authentic bulk-cargo scenes to life. It arrives ready to run, making it easy to drop into a sugar-beet shipment on your layout.

The car showcases a highly detailed injection-molded body with separately applied brake wheel and wire grab irons on the side ladders, plus body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers for reliable coupling. It is weighted for smooth tracking and rides on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours to work with most HO track brands. With an 18-inch minimum radius, a removable load, and precise paint and print, this model delivers practical, prototypical realism for sugar beet unit-train operations or bulk-cargo dioramas.
