Quickly upgrade your HO Scale intermodal fleet with WaltherMainline Thrall's Rebuilt 40' Well Cars. As the 53' container became the norm for domestic shipping, older 48' well cars lost popularity. In 2003, Thrall started a rebuilding project to shorten the wells to 40'. 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 great features: a one - time run of these road numbers, so order now as quantity is 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.

Using this Walthers well car is a breeze. Just place it on your HO scale track, and it's ready to roll. You can load 20' and 40' containers in the well and 40' and 53' units on top to create a realistic shipping scene. When handling it, be gentle as the finely - molded details can be delicate. For maintenance, use a soft brush to clean off any dust or debris from the body, wheels, and couplers. Keep it in a dry place to prevent the metal parts from rusting. And remember, these road numbers are a one - time run, so cherish your well car!
