Walthers 910-55676 Thrall 5 Unit Rebuilt 40' Well Car BNSF Santa Fe Leasing SFLC #1018 HO Scale

Enhance your HO Scale intermodal fleet in no time with the WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Cars! As the 53' container became the norm for domestic shipping, older well cars designed for 48' boxes lost popularity among railroads. Since 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 amazing features: One - time production of these road numbers, so order now as quantities are limited. A heavy die - cast metal frame ensures great performance whether empty or loaded. Finely - molded 3 - D brake rods with chains, brake piping, and weld lines on the body add realism. Separate deck - mounted brake details include piping, IBC storage boxes, and realistic walkways. They are equipped with 70 - ton roller bearing trucks and correct 33' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets. Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers complete the package.

Using this HO scale well car is a breeze. Simply place it on your model railroad tracks, and it's ready to go. It can carry various container sizes, so you can customize your load according to your layout. When handling, be gentle to avoid damaging the finely - molded details like the brake rods and chains. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the car regularly. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity as these can affect the metal parts and the paint. If you notice any loose parts, like the couplers, you can use a small screwdriver to tighten them carefully. Enjoy adding this great model to your collection!
