Walthers 910-6751 73'3 Wood Chip Hopper ATSF Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe #165002 HO Scale

Walthers presents the 910-6751 HO scale 73'3 wood chip hopper for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) #165002. The picture might show a different road number. Wood chips, being one of the lightest loads transported by rail, need large cars. These WalthersMainline Greenville 7000-cubic foot woodchip hoppers are a great addition to HO operations. Back by popular demand, they offer features like a one-time run of these road numbers (order now as quantity is limited), prototypes in service since the early 1970s, designed for moving woodchips from sawmills to paper mills, prototypical interior bracing, authentic door latch details, detailed brake gear, a heavy die-cast metal underframe, 100-ton trucks with correct 36' turned metal RP-25 wheels, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.

Using this wood chip hopper is easy. Simply place it on your HO scale railway tracks. It's designed to represent the real - life wood chip transportation from sawmills to paper mills. When handling, be gentle as it has detailed parts like the door latch and brake gear. To maintain it, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. Avoid getting it wet as it may damage the die - cast metal underframe and other components. Also, store it in a cool and dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition. If you notice any loose parts, handle them carefully and consider using small tools to fix them if needed.
