Product Information
Modernize your HO Scale intermodal fleet in minutes with WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40Ft Well Cars! As the 53Ft container quickly became the standard for domestic shipping, older well cars built to carry 48Ft boxes soon fell out of favor with railroads. Most were only a few years old, so starting in 2003 Thrall began a rebuilding program that shortened the wells to the standard 40Ft on both single and five-unit cars. Today they can be seen carrying 20Ft and 40Ft containers in the well, with 40Ft and 53Ft units on top. Fully assembled and ready for service, the models feature:
-100- and 70-ton roller bearing trucks
-Correct 36Inch and 33Inch turned metal wheelsets
-Heavy die-cast metal frame for superb performance empty or loaded
-Finely molded 3-D brake rods with chains, brake piping and weld lines on body
-Separate deck-mounted brake detail with piping, IBC storage boxes and realistic walkways
-Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers
