Upgrade your HO Scale intermodal fleet in no time with WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Cars. As the 53' container became the norm for domestic shipping, older 48' well cars lost popularity. Starting in 2003, Thrall rebuilt them to 40' standards. Now, they carry 20' and 40' containers in the well and 40' and 53' on top. These fully - assembled models are ready for service and come with great features: a limited - quantity one - time run of these road numbers; 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: The picture might show a different road number.

Using this well car is easy. Just place it on your HO scale tracks and start adding 20', 40' or 53' containers as described. Since it's fully assembled, you can start using it right away. When handling, be gentle as it has finely - molded details. For maintenance, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft brush to clean the brake rods, chains and other small parts. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting of the metal parts like the frame and couplers. If you notice any loose parts, secure them carefully. And remember, this is a limited - quantity item, so handle it with care to enjoy it for a long time.
