Description
HO Santa Fe Test Weight Car, road number 199915, is an HO-scale test car designed to provide a precise, known weight for calibrating track scales and verifying axle-load limits on model railroads. This ready-to-run Silver Series model from Bachmann arrives fully assembled with a die-cast painted body, a separately applied brake wheel, and precision graphics that capture the look of the prototype.
The car rides on blackened machined metal wheels with RP-25 contours and magnetically operated E-Z Mate couplers, while non-magnetic brass axles with needle-point bearings ensure smooth, accurate rolling. Its scale-like weight is tuned for optimum tracking on HO-scale layouts (1:87), making it a practical tool for calibration as well as a realistic addition to a Santa Fe freight consist.
