Description
HO 100-ton Bethlehem Steel three-bay hopper in Norfolk Southern livery brings a faithful piece of mid‑century freight car history to your HO-scale layout. This highly detailed model reproduces the Bethlehem Steel design with a three-bay body, separately applied air tanks, brake valve, brake wheel and bracing parts, and it includes a removable coal or stone load. An interior wall braces kit adds a realistic empty-car look, though some assembly is required.
Additional refinements include detailed painted graphics, underbody detail, and trucks with see-through sideframes, plus magnetically operated E‑Z Mate Mark II couplers and blackened RP25 wheels for authentic operation. Optional modeler-installed weights are included to improve tracking (assembly required). The model measures approximately 7 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 1.8 inches high.
