Upgrade your HO Scale intermodal fleet in no time with the WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40 - Foot Well Cars. As the 53 - foot container became the norm for domestic shipping, older well cars for 48 - foot boxes lost popularity among railroads. In 2003, Thrall started a rebuilding project to shorten the wells to 40 feet. Now, these cars can carry 20 - foot and 40 - foot containers in the well and 40 - foot and 53 - foot units on top. These fully - assembled models are ready for action and come with many great features: a one - time production of these road numbers, so order soon as quantities are 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 - foot 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 - 8437 Thrall Rebuilt 40 - Foot Well Car is easy. Just place it on your HO Scale track and start running your trains. It's fully assembled, so you don't have to do any extra work to get it up and running. When handling the car, be gentle to avoid any damage to the finely - molded parts like the brake rods and chains. For maintenance, regularly check the wheelsets and couplers. If they get dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean them. Also, make sure to store the car in a dry place to prevent rusting. Remember, this is a limited - quantity item, so take good care of it to enjoy it for a long time.
