Spice up your HO Scale intermodal fleet in a flash with WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Cars! As the 53' container became the norm for domestic shipping, older well cars designed for 48' boxes lost their appeal to railroads. Since 2003, Thrall started a rebuilding project to shorten the wells to the standard 40'. Nowadays, these cars can carry 20' and 40' containers in the well and 40' and 53' units on top. These fully - assembled models are ready to serve right away and come with many great features: a one - time run of these road numbers, so order now as the 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. Note that the picture might show a different road number.

Using your Walthers 910 - 8421 Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Car is a breeze. Just place it on your HO Scale track and start using it right away as it's fully assembled. When handling the car, be gentle to avoid any damage to the finely - molded parts like the 3 - D brake rods and chains. To keep it in good condition, regularly clean the wheelsets to ensure smooth movement. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the body and remove any dust. Also, store it in a cool, dry place to prevent rusting of the metal parts, especially the die - cast frame and metal couplers. If you notice any loose parts, you can use a small amount of glue suitable for model trains to fix them, but be careful not to use too much. Have fun with your well car and watch it enhance your intermodal fleet!
