HO Transportation Car, Speedy Chickens Palace Live Poultry #4207 (BAC15903)

HO Scale Live Poultry Transport Car, commonly known as Henhouses on Wheels, is a fully assembled model for model railroads that recreates the classic poultry-hauling car. The design features wire-mesh sides and multiple levels of individual coups, each with feed and water troughs, plus a central attendant compartment for feeding and watering the birds in transit. Sized for HO layouts at 1:87, it adds an authentic, period-correct touch to farm, yard, or industrial scenes.

Details include highly painted bodies with precision graphics and poultry silhouettes, along with an attendant service door. The car rolls on blackened machined metal wheels with RP-25 contours and magnetically operated E-Z Mate couplers, with non-magnetic blackened brass axles and needle-point bearings, Celcon trucks, and added weight to deliver smooth, reliable tracking across switches and curves.
