Upgrade your HO Scale intermodal fleet fast with the WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Cars! As 53' containers became the norm for domestic shipping, older 48' well cars lost popularity. In 2003, Thrall started a rebuilding project, shortening wells to 40' on single and five-unit cars. Now, they carry 20', 40', and 53' containers. This set is the Santa Fe Leasing SFLC #1089 A - E with yellow, black, and yellow conspicuity stripes. Note, the picture might show a different road number. These models are fully assembled and ready to go, with features like limited - quantity road numbers, 100 - and 70 - ton roller bearing trucks, correct RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets, a heavy die - cast metal frame, finely molded 3 - D brake rods, separate deck - mounted brake details, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.
Using this HO scale well car is a breeze. Just take it out of the box, and it's ready to be added to your intermodal fleet. You can easily couple it with other cars using the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. When using it, be careful not to apply too much force on the finely molded 3 - D brake rods and chains. For maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft brush to gently clean the wheels and the body. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust on the metal parts like the frame and trucks. Since it's a limited - quantity item, handle it with care to enjoy it for a long time.
