Enhance your HO Scale intermodal fleet in no time with WaltherMainline's 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'. Now, these cars can carry 20', 40', and 53' containers. This is a one - time run of these road numbers, and quantities are limited. The fully - assembled models come with a heavy die - cast metal frame for great performance whether empty or loaded. They feature finely molded 3 - D brake rods, chains, brake piping, and weld lines on the body. There's also separate deck - mounted brake detail, IBC storage boxes, and realistic walkways. The cars have 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 this Walthers HO Scale well car is easy. Just place it on your model train track and it's ready to carry containers. You can load 20', 40', or 53' containers on it as described. When handling the car, be gentle to avoid damaging the finely - molded details like the brake rods and chains. To maintain it, keep it clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down regularly. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any rusting on the metal parts, especially the die - cast frame and wheelsets. Also, make sure to check the couplers occasionally to ensure they are working properly for smooth connections with other train cars.
