HO 100-Ton Bethlehem Steel Three Bay Hopper - Detroit, Toledo & Ironton #1733 (BAC18719)

HO-scale Bethlehem Steel 100-ton three-bay hopper car in Detroit, Toledo & Ironton #1733 livery, a detailed model for adding authentic freight to HO layouts. It faithfully reproduces the Bethlehem Steel design with separately applied air tanks, brake valve, brake wheel and bracing parts, and it includes a removable coal or stone load to recreate both loaded and empty appearances.

Body measures about 7 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 1.8 inches tall, featuring a painted, graphics-rich shell and a detailed underframe. The trucks have see-through sideframes, and the model rides on blackened metal RP25 wheels. Magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers partner with optional modeler-installed weights to improve tracking (assembly required), while interior wall braces raise the realism of an empty-car look. The included removable load adds versatility for depicting different operating scenarios.
