HO 34' 2-Bay Offset Hopper with Coal Load GN #73225 / 73245 / 73264 / 73284 (RND-1027)

HO-scale 34-foot, two-bay offset coal hopper with a removable coal load, modeled after Great Northern’s bulk coal cars. It’s designed for realistic operation on HO layouts, featuring a separately applied brake wheel, body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, RP25 wheel contours for smooth running on most HO track, and weighting that helps the car track and look right in motion. Razor-sharp printing and painting deliver a clean, prototypical finish.

Designed for HO layouts with a minimum 18-inch radius, this open-hopper model is well suited for yard, siding, and mainline scenes. The removable coal load adds tactile realism for unloading moments, while the overall detailing and Great Northern livery provide a convincing presence on coal-traffic trains and era-appropriate operations.
