HO 40' 4-Bay Offset Hopper with Load (RND88182)

HO scale 40-foot four-bay offset hopper with load is a detailed model of an open hopper car built to haul bulk commodities like coal on HO layouts. Its offset-side four-bay body and four discharge doors underneath are designed to speed unloading, bringing authentic freight operations to yards and mainline scenes alike.

Notable 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 smooth tracking, and sports a highly detailed injection-molded body that’s painted and printed for realistic decoration. With a minimum operating radius of 18 inches, it fits neatly into most HO layouts while delivering credible, era-appropriate cargo handling visuals.
