Upgrade your HO Scale intermodal train fleet in no time with the WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Car! As 53' containers became the norm for domestic shipping, older well cars for 48' boxes lost popularity among railroads. Since 2003, Thrall rebuilt these cars, shortening the wells to 40'. Now, they carry 20' and 40' containers in the well and 40' and 53' units on top. This fully - assembled model is ready for action and has these great features: a one - time production of these road numbers, so order soon as 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: The picture might show a different road number.

Using your Walthers HO Scale Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Car is a breeze. Just place it on your model train track, and it's ready to start carrying containers. You can add different sized containers to the well and on top, making your train look more realistic. When handling the car, be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate brake rods and other details. For maintenance, keep it clean by using a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. Check the wheels and couplers regularly to make sure they are moving smoothly. If you notice any issues with the couplers not connecting properly, you can gently adjust them. Store the car in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting of the metal parts. Enjoy building your amazing HO Scale intermodal fleet with this well - crafted model!
