HO 40' 4-Bay Offset Hopper with Load Plastic Model Kit (RND88181)

This HO-scale 40-foot four-bay offset hopper with load is a detailed model of an offset-side open hopper car, designed to represent bulk-commodity service such as coal on HO layouts. The four-bay design features four discharge doors beneath for faster unloading and realistic operation on the railroad scene.

Key features include a separately applied brake wheel, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and 50-ton Bettendorf or 70-ton roller-bearing trucks. The car uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, is weighted for steady performance, and showcases a highly detailed injection-molded body painted and printed for realistic decoration. With a minimum radius of 18 inches, it fits standard HO curves on most layouts.
