HO 40' 4-Bay Offset Hopper with Load, LV Model (RND88185)

This HO-scale 40-foot, four-bay offset hopper with load (LV model) is a detailed replica of an open hopper car used for bulk commodities such as coal. Its offset sides and four discharge doors underneath mirror real-world unloading, making it a realistic addition to any HO layout and a natural choice for operating scenes that involve bulk cargo handling.

Key details 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 and is weighted for stable, reliable running. With a highly detailed injection-molded body, painted and printed for realism, this model is designed for HO layouts and can negotiate a minimum radius of 18 inches.
