Enhance your HO Scale intermodal fleet instantly with the WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Car. As the 53' container became the norm for domestic shipping, older well cars designed for 48' boxes lost popularity. In 2003, Thrall started a rebuilding project to shorten the wells to 40'. Now, these cars can carry 20' and 40' containers in the well and 40' and 53' units on top. This fully - assembled model is ready for action and offers great features: a limited - quantity run of this road number, 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 that the picture might show a different road number.

Using this Walthers HO Scale Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Car is a breeze. Just place it on your HO scale model train track and it's ready to go. It's fully assembled, so there's no need for complicated setup. When it comes to carrying containers, you can load 20' and 40' containers in the well area and 40' and 53' units on top.

Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the paint or the delicate parts like the 3 - D brake rods and chains. Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent any rusting of the metal parts, especially the die - cast frame and the wheelsets. And that's all you need to know to enjoy this great model train well car.
