HO ATH 40' 4-Bay Offset Hopper with Load IC #75422 (ATH-1581)
HO scale 40-foot, four-bay offset hopper with a removable load is a detailed model of a bulk-carrier used in coal and other bulk-commodity service on model railroads. It’s designed for realistic operation on layouts that feature automated loading and unloading, letting operators recreate prototypical coal-haul scenarios.
Key details include McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers, factory-applied wire grab irons, stirrup steps, end braces, and a brake platform, along with precision-machined metal wheels with RP25 contours. The model also has separately applied brake gear — brake wheel and housing, air reservoir, brake cylinder, triple valve, trainline with supports and roping eye — and is weighted for stable, reliable performance. The removable load adds realism, and the car is compatible with curves down to an 18-inch minimum radius.
