The Walthers Mainline 910-56756 is an HO scale 70-Ton AAR 3-Bay Open Hopper decorated for Southern 71876, built to the standard adopted by the Association of American Railroads. Cars of this 70-ton, nine-panel design measured 40’8″ inside length and moved enormous volumes of coal, though crews also loaded them with aggregates, minerals and ballast. This ready-to-run model captures the look with roadname-appropriate flat or arched ends and an Ajax hand brake.
Underneath, item 910-56756 rides on a die-cast metal chassis that adds weight for dependable tracking whether the car runs loaded or empty. It rolls on correct 33″ RP-25 turned metal wheelsets and is fitted with Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers, so it is ready to join your train straight from the box. Produced as a one-time run in limited quantities, Southern 71876 makes a fine addition to any HO coal drag or mineral train.
