HO 40' 4-Bay Offset Hopper with Load, D&RGW Plastic Model (RND88184)

This HO-scale 40-foot, four-bay offset hopper with load in D&RGW livery is a detailed model of a coal hopper used for bulk cargo on a model railroad. Open hopper cars haul bulk commodities like coal and discharge through doors on the underside, and the offset four-bay design with four doors underneath allows faster unloading on a layout.

It includes a separately applied brake wheel, 33-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, 50-ton Bettendorf or 70-ton roller bearing trucks, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckles. The car is weighted for smooth, reliable operation, and the injection-molded body is highly detailed, painted and printed for realistic decoration. Designed for HO layouts with an 18-inch minimum radius, this model is a practical, visually compelling addition to any coal- or bulk-cargo roster.
