Upgrade your HO Scale intermodal fleet quickly with WaltherMainline's Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Cars. As the 53' container became the norm for domestic shipping, older 48' well cars fell out of use. Starting in 2003, Thrall rebuilt them to 40'. Now, they carry 20' and 40' containers in the well and 40' and 53' on top. These fully - assembled models are ready for service. Key features include: a limited - quantity one - time run of these road numbers; a heavy die - cast metal frame for great performance empty or loaded; finely - molded 3 - D brake rods with chains, brake piping and weld lines on the body; separate deck - mounted brake detail 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 Walthers HO Scale well car is easy. It's fully assembled, so you can add it to your intermodal fleet right away. Just place your 20', 40', or 53' containers on it as per your layout. When handling the car, be gentle to avoid damaging the finely - molded details like the brake rods and chains. For maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft brush to remove dust from the body, wheels, and couplers. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting of the metal parts. Since it's a limited - quantity item, order soon if you want to add it to your collection.
