HO ATH Bethgon Coalporter with Coal Load (ATH-2293)
HO-scale BethGon Coalporter with Coal Load is a detailed model designed for realistic coal-hauling on HO layouts. This faithful recreation of Bethlehem Steel’s Johnstown American BethGon car features an all-aluminum body with a trough-style bottom for added carrying capacity and a lower center of gravity to help it track smoothly on the rails. It’s built for solid unit-train operation, and one end includes a rotary coupler to allow feeding through a rotary unloader without uncoupling.
Fine details include separately applied wireform grab irons and etched coupler platforms, a removable coal load, and a highly finished injection-molded body with realistic paint. The model rides on 36-inch machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, is weighted for stable performance, and uses body-mounted scale-knuckle couplers for reliable operation. Available in multiple road-number variations, it suits HO layouts that require 18-inch minimum-radius curves and adds authentic coal-hauling capability to any roster.
