Description
Upgrade your HO Scale intermodal fleet in no time with WaltherMainline Thrall Reconstructed 40' Well Cars. As the 53' container became the norm for domestic shipping, older well cars for 48' boxes lost popularity among railroads. Starting in 2003, Thrall initiated a rebuilding project, shortening the wells to 40'. Now, they 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 great features: a one - time production of these road numbers (order now as quantities are limited), a heavy die - cast metal frame for excellent 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 details with piping, IBC storage boxes and realistic walkways, 70 - ton roller bearing trucks, correct 33' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. Note that the picture might show a different road number.
Using this HO scale well car is easy. Simply place it on your model railroad track and start adding the appropriate containers. You can put 20' and 40' containers in the well and 40' and 53' units on top. When handling the car, be gentle as the finely molded details like the brake rods and chains can be delicate. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and wheels regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the paint or the metal parts. Store the car in a dry place to prevent rusting, especially on the metal frame and couplers. Since it's a limited - quantity item, handle it with care to enjoy it for a long time on your model railroad.
