HO RTR 5-Bay Rapid Discharge Hopper GGPX #1 (ATH98649)

HO-scale five-bay rapid-discharge coal hopper car designed for modern unit-train coal service. This model captures the look and function of rapid-discharge cars, built to run on HO layouts with a realistic silhouette and authentic operation.

Removable load lets you depict loaded or empty cars, while the body features a detailed injection-molded shell with accurate paint and printing, plus brake wheel and wire grab irons on the side ladders. It uses body-mounted McHenry scale double-shelf knuckle couplers, is weighted for stable handling, and rolls on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for smooth operation on most track brands. Fully assembled and ready to run, it is designed for HO layouts with a minimum 18-inch radius. The design echoes the real-world unit-train concept of rapid bulk unloading, delivering an authentic coal-hauling look and feel to the layout.
