Upgrade your HO Scale intermodal fleet in no time with WaltherMainline Thrall Rebuilt 40 - foot Well Cars. As the 53 - foot container became the norm for domestic shipping, older well cars designed for 48 - foot boxes lost popularity among railroads. Since 2003, Thrall started a rebuilding project to shorten the wells to 40 feet. Now, these cars can carry 20 - foot and 40 - foot containers in the well and 40 - foot and 53 - foot units on top. The fully - assembled models are ready for service and come with great features: limited - quantity one - time run of these road numbers, so order now; 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 - foot RP - 25 turned metal wheelsets; and Proto MAX(TM) metal knuckle couplers. Note that the picture might show a different road number.

Using this HO Scale well car is easy. Just place it on your HO Scale track and start using it right away. It's fully assembled and ready for service. When handling the car, be gentle to avoid any damage to the delicate brake rods and other small details. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If you notice any dirt or debris in the wheelsets or couplers, you can use a small brush to clean them. Also, store the car in a dry place to prevent rusting. Since it's a limited - quantity item, make sure to handle it with care and enjoy adding it to your intermodal fleet.
