HO 100-Ton Bethlehem Steel Three Bay Hopper - Chessie System #142374 (BAC18729)

HO-scale Bethlehem Steel 100-ton three-bay hopper in Chessie System livery, designed for realistic operation on HO-scale model railroad layouts.

Designed for realism, it features an authentic Bethlehem Steel body with separately applied air tanks, brake valve, brake wheel, and bracing parts, plus a removable coal or stone load. Interior wall braces help create a convincing empty-car look (assembly required), while the detailed trucks with see-through sideframes and blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours support reliable operation. Magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers ensure smooth coupling, and optional weights are included to improve tracking (assembly required). The model measures about 7 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 1.8 inches tall.
