HO ATH Bethgon Coalporter with Coal Load BNSF #671039 (ATH-2289)
HO-scale BethGon Coalporter with Coal Load is a detailed HO freight car modeled after Bethlehem Steel's BethGon coalporter, presented in BNSF markings. Designed to haul coal in solid unit-train service, it replicates the original design with all-aluminum construction and a tub-style bottom that increases carrying capacity while lowering the center of gravity for steadier tracking. One end of the car is equipped with a rotary coupler to allow feeding through a rotary unloader without uncoupling.
Finer details include separate wireform grab irons and etched metal coupler platforms, a removable coal load, and a separately applied brake wheel. The model offers multiple road numbers, rides on 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and is weighted for dependable operation. It uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale-knuckle couplers, a highly detailed injection-molded body, and painted and printed decoration for realistic appearance. Minimum curve radius is 18 inches.
