The Walthers Mainline 910-57804 is an HO scale 50′ 100-Ton 4-Bay Hopper lettered for Chicago & North Western, road number 63614. Prototypes for this car went to work in the mid-1960s and stayed in service into the mid-2000s, hauling coal and other bulk commodities across the continent. By the 1980s they were a standard car in Powder River unit coal trains supplying power plants, and they also carried stone and similar loose loads.
This ready-to-run model rides on a die-cast metal underframe that keeps 910-57804 tracking smoothly whether loaded or empty. Sloped sheet braces, updated brake gear, correct 36″ turned metal RP-25 wheelsets and Proto MAX metal knuckle couplers complete the package. String several together for a realistic coal drag on your HO layout.
