Note that the picture might show a different road number. Upgrade your HO Scale intermodal fleet quickly with these well - cars. As 53' containers became the norm for domestic shipping, older 48' well cars were replaced. Starting in 2003, Thrall rebuilt them to 40'. Now, they can carry 20', 40' containers in the well and 40', 53' units on top. These fully - assembled models offer many great features: limited quantity available, heavy die - cast metal frame for good performance, finely molded 3 - D brake parts, separate deck - mounted brake details, 70 - ton roller bearing trucks, correct 33' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets, and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers.

Using your Walthers 910 - 8423 Thrall Rebuilt 40' Well Car is easy. Since it's fully assembled, you can put it into service right away on your HO Scale railroad. When placing containers, make sure to distribute the weight evenly to avoid any imbalance issues. You can load 20' or 40' containers in the well and 40' or 53' units on top. As for maintenance, regularly check the 70 - ton roller bearing trucks and the 33' RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets. Wipe them clean to keep them running smoothly. Also, inspect the Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers to ensure they connect properly. Since this is a limited - quantity item, handle it with care to avoid any damage.
