Upgrade your HO Scale intermodal train fleet in no time with the WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Cars. As 53' containers became the norm for domestic shipping, older 48' well cars lost popularity among railroads. In 2003, Thrall initiated a rebuilding project, shortening the wells to 40' on single and five - unit cars. Now, these cars can carry 20' and 40' containers in the well and 40' and 53' units on top. These fully assembled models are ready for action and come with amazing features: a limited - quantity one - time run of these road numbers, so order now! They also have 100 - and 70 - ton roller bearing trucks, correct 36' and 33' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets, a heavy die - cast metal frame for great performance whether empty or loaded, finely molded 3 - D brake rods with chains, brake piping and weld lines on the body, separate deck - mounted brake detail with piping, IBC storage boxes and realistic walkways, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. Note that the picture may show a different road number.
Using your Walthers HO Scale Thrall Well Car is easy. Simply place it on your model train track and couple it with other cars in your fleet. It's fully assembled, so it's ready to run right out of the box. When adding containers, make sure they fit properly in the well or on top of the car. As for maintenance, keep it clean by gently dusting it with a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the paint and details. Store it in a dry and cool place to prevent any warping or damage. Since it's a limited - quantity item, handle it with care to preserve its collectible value.
