Both schemes were slightly different from another and only 2575 lasted in this scheme, retired just before the UP merger of 1996. As many were sold off for further use after the merger, UP retained some for use in areas with lighter track and local switch jobs that needed smaller motive power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLit ground lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop steps unless noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual exhaust stacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted numberboards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine scale handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal hoses as appropriate to the prototype road (MU capability was a railroad specified option for these locos, and some railroads did not order it).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear trainline hoses with silver glad hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied wire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through radiator intake grille and cab windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow or high mounted windshield wipers per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangular or oval builder’s plate where appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied air tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMcHenry® scale knuckle couplers - Kadee® compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive with precision gears for smooth \u0026amp; quiet operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel electrical pickup provides reliable current flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved 5-pole skew wound can motor with flywheels and multi-link drivetrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheels with RP25 contours operate on all popular brands of track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly-detailed, injection molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior plastic blister safely holds the model for convenient storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNEW FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating ground lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly designed can motor is more powerful and quieter than before\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready models feature 21-pin plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC \u0026amp; sound models feature Economi sound with single cube speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED lighting for long life and reliable operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSOUND-EQUIPPED MODELS ALSO FEATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC decoder with SoundTraxx Economi sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle cube speaker for optimal sound quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound units operate in both DC and DCC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine, horn, and bell sounds work in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome functions are limited in DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll functions NMRA compatible in DCC mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating lighting functions with F5 and\/or F6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent low-speed operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgram a multiple unit (MU) lashup with lead unit only horn, bell, and lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany functions can be altered via Configuration Value (CV) changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV chart included in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn EMD SW1500 is a 4-axle diesel switcher locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between 1966 and 1974.

During the early years of the industry freight was hauled on simple flatcars or early gondolas. The car’s development continued to improve over the years such as switching from basic wood construction with steel outside-bracing. To better enhance crew safety, in 1968 the AAR legislated the removal of roof walks. Boxcars needed to be “modernized” to adhere to the AAR mandate. This was to be completed by 1978 for cars in interchange service. Some of these cars had side and end ladders cut down, in some cases, modification included lowering the brake wheel. What made boxcars great, at least in the eyes of the railroads, was, their ability to haul about anything!

The carrier worked with General Motors Electro-Motive Division to design new passenger locomotives. The result was the SDP40F. Built by EMD from 1973–1974 for Amtrak and for a brief time they formed the backbone of Amtrak’s long-distance passenger fleet. With 150 built, the SDP40F became the “face” of Amtrak in the mid-1970s as they were found on the head ends of passenger trains from San Diego to Washington DC and from Seattle to Miami. Several were rebuilt and found a second life with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in freight service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of the SDP40F was based on the EMD FP45 passenger locomotive. Both shared the EMD 645E3 diesel engine, although the SDP40F had 16 cylinders instead of 20. The space saved from the smaller prime mover was given over to increased water capacity. The SDP40F had an underbody tank split between water and diesel fuel, carrying 2,000 gallons of water and 2,500 gallons of diesel. A second 1,500 gallon water tank sat in the carbody, forward of the steam generators which produced the steam needed for supplying heat (and sometimes cooling) and hot water for the train.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEventually, the SDP40F was phased out as all-electric cars, such as the Amfleet, displaced the old steam heat rolling stock. While the SDP40F was designed with conversion to head-end power (HEP) in mind, the bad press they received, cost to upgrade and overhaul the units, and Amtrak’s satisfaction with the versatility of the HEP-equipped F40PH ultimately doomed the SDP40F. Amtrak was able to trade in the SDP40Fs to EMD as more F40PH units were acquired in the late 1970s. The last SDP40F was retired from Amtrak in the early 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1984, Santa Fe Railway traded lower-power locomotives to Amtrak for 18 SDP40Fs, horsepower-for-horsepower. The SDP40Fs were reconditioned in the railroad’s San Bernardino, California shops to the designation SDF40-2 for use as freight locomotives. Santa Fe replaced the hollow HTC bolsters with conventional HTC bolsters, converted the below-frame combination fuel\/water tank to an all-fuel tank, removed the above-frame water tanks (replacing these with concrete ballast) and used the engines for nearly 15 years. They were also given front steps and platforms. Their noses were notched after a second maintenance shop visit in order to improve boarding access. In exchange, Amtrak received 43 smaller locomotives for use in switching service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536566911255,"sku":"ATHG64124","price":239.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5923\/4839\/files\/ATHG64124_A0_RMB7KSJQ_9357bc09-b337-4caf-8be6-7bbcf12c16e1.jpg?v=1763614338"},{"product_id":"ho-sdp40f-w-dcc-sound-atsf-5264","title":"ATHG64225 Athearn HO SDP40F w\/DCC \u0026 Sound - ATSF #5264","description":"\u003ch3\u003eATSF FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassification lights (Function in DCC only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeacon (Flash function in DCC only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir Conditioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber board lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Truck lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate see-through air intake grills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMU hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1980’s when Amtrak was in the process of the final purge of their SDP40F fleet they struck a deal with Santa Fe in which they traded 18 of the SDP40F’s (with which the Santa Fe had not had any derailment issues) for 25 Santa Fe CF7’s and 18 of their rebuilt switchers.

The carrier worked with General Motors Electro-Motive Division to design new passenger locomotives. The result was the SDP40F. Built by EMD from 1973–1974 for Amtrak and for a brief time they formed the backbone of Amtrak’s long-distance passenger fleet. With 150 built, the SDP40F became the “face” of Amtrak in the mid-1970s as they were found on the head ends of passenger trains from San Diego to Washington DC and from Seattle to Miami. Several were rebuilt and found a second life with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in freight service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of the SDP40F was based on the EMD FP45 passenger locomotive. Both shared the EMD 645E3 diesel engine, although the SDP40F had 16 cylinders instead of 20. The space saved from the smaller prime mover was given over to increased water capacity. The SDP40F had an underbody tank split between water and diesel fuel, carrying 2,000 gallons of water and 2,500 gallons of diesel. A second 1,500 gallon water tank sat in the carbody, forward of the steam generators which produced the steam needed for supplying heat (and sometimes cooling) and hot water for the train.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEventually, the SDP40F was phased out as all-electric cars, such as the Amfleet, displaced the old steam heat rolling stock. While the SDP40F was designed with conversion to head-end power (HEP) in mind, the bad press they received, cost to upgrade and overhaul the units, and Amtrak’s satisfaction with the versatility of the HEP-equipped F40PH ultimately doomed the SDP40F. Amtrak was able to trade in the SDP40Fs to EMD as more F40PH units were acquired in the late 1970s. The last SDP40F was retired from Amtrak in the early 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1984, Santa Fe Railway traded lower-power locomotives to Amtrak for 18 SDP40Fs, horsepower-for-horsepower. The SDP40Fs were reconditioned in the railroad’s San Bernardino, California shops to the designation SDF40-2 for use as freight locomotives. Santa Fe replaced the hollow HTC bolsters with conventional HTC bolsters, converted the below-frame combination fuel\/water tank to an all-fuel tank, removed the above-frame water tanks (replacing these with concrete ballast) and used the engines for nearly 15 years. They were also given front steps and platforms. Their noses were notched after a second maintenance shop visit in order to improve boarding access. In exchange, Amtrak received 43 smaller locomotives for use in switching service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536570319127,"sku":"ATHG64225","price":339.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5923\/4839\/files\/ATHG64225_A0_9HO924GB_eaa1c458-2bb5-4a21-81d3-6c6cef0ddfc4.jpg?v=1763611481"},{"product_id":"ho-gp50-atsf-3822","title":"ATHG65832 Athearn HO GP50 - ATSF #3822","description":"\u003ch3\u003eATSF FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose headlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATSF style antennas and stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt supplied by ATSF experts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof-mounted A\/C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward ditch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall EMD plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoved Leslie 3-chime horn to carbody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect exhaust silencer per road number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the early 1990’s, Santa Fe’s GP50’s started to get some changes from the original appearance.

It is powered by a 16-cylinder EMD 645F3B diesel engine, which can produce between 3,500 and 3,600 hp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA total of 278 examples of this locomotive were built. The GP50 retains the same overall length of 59 feet 2 inches as the other GP dash-2 series locomotives built in the same era. It utilized GM’s D87 traction motor enabling it to produce a starting tractive effort of 65,000 pounds, with a continuous rating of 62,400 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most significant difference in the GP50 from earlier designs like the GP40 was upgraded components (like a turbocharger silencer and new type of blower housing) and increased horsepower. The locomotive also introduced a new “anti-wheel-slip” technology where the locomotive horsepower output was reduced if a wheel slip condition was introduced. It also included features already common on earlier models such as dynamic braking (a system for temporarily employing traction motors as generators and using the resulting electromotive force to slow the train), and an airtight hood that kept out dust, dirt and other particles from reaching internal components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the companies that purchased the GP50 have now been absorbed into other systems. However, a few of their successors continue to operate the units.

A product of Bethlehem Steel Company’s (BSC) Johnstown, PA plant, over 9,000 of these (89’ 8” over the strikers) cars were built throughout the 1960s. Visually distinctive from other long flatcars of their era thanks to their “C” channel side sills, these versatile cars were adapted for many types of service and loadings over the years, ranging from Trailer-On-Flatcar (TOFC), to autoracks, to structural steel loading. While the majority went to Trailer Train, many were built for various railroads, typically for autorack service. Many were “de-racked” in later years, being reassigned and equipped for other service - TOFC, vehicle loading, pipe service, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt wasn’t unusual for these cars to see several different loading configurations throughout their careers, to meet the changing needs of shippers. In service with Trailer Train, the three or four-letter reporting marks indicated the cars’ intended service and corresponding equipment. For example, an “XTTX” car was equipped with four collapsible hitches, capable of carrying various combinations of 28’, 40’, or 45’ trailers. A car in the “RTTX” configuration featured a pair of fixed hitches at the ends, and a retractable hitch amidships, allowing it to carry a pair of long (up to 45’) trailers back-to-back, or three 28’ “pup” trailers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Athearn Genesis model was designed from the start to incorporate as many prototype details and variations as possible, based upon field measurements and builder diagrams, to appeal to modelers of multiple eras. Many new hitches, body variants, and other separate details were created, allowing us to accurately offer these cars in their different configurations over the years, from four-hitch “XTTX” cars to the distinctive drawbar-connected “TTEX” Triple-57 “Long Runner” bulge-deck conversions introduced in 1987. And you can rest assured of its smooth performance, thanks to a heavy die-cast frame for reliable tracking, and our famed Genesis 70-ton ASF Ride-Control trucks with spinning bearing cap details, and .110” tread metal wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperationally, these cars are appropriate for any layout set from the 1960s to the present day. In TOFC service, F89Fs could be found mixed into manifest trains, or as part of dedicated TOFC trains. It also wasn’t uncommon to find them mixed into stack trains, alongside such cars as Gunderson Maxi-Is or Maxi-IIIs, which are also available from Athearn. The new F89F also goes great with Athearn’s extensive line of 40’, 45’, and 53’ trailers, not to mention our various 20’, 40’, 45’, 48’, and 53’ containers mounted on chassis, all of which are available in many different paint schemes to appeal to modelers of all eras.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536608395543,"sku":"ATHG69599","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5923\/4839\/files\/ATHG69599_A0_GD8IOOU9.jpg?v=1763343615"},{"product_id":"ho-sd75m-atsf-209","title":"ATHG71127 Athearn HO SD75M - ATSF #209","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHO SD75M - ATSF #209\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eATSF FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs-delivered appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall EMD plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound deck mounted front ditch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge Sinclair antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly EMD trucks with hidden bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanta Fe’s last official EMD order before the BNSF merger, was for 51 SD75M’s placed in 1994.

While outwardly similar at first glance to the SD60M, the D.C.-drive SD70M featured several external design refinements from the predecessor model. Battery boxes were relocated to the left-hand side walkway immediately behind the cab, a large, boxy forward traction motor blower housing replaced the angular version used on SD60s, the raised walkway duct on the left hand walkway was eliminated, and an intake for the rear traction motor blower on the left hand side of the carbody, directly under the rear radiator intake grill, was added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternally, the SD70 boasted improvements as well; a 16-710GB prime mover, rated at 4,000hp, was coupled to a new alternator design, the AR20. New D70TR traction motors were standard, and controlling all of this power and locomotive function was EMD’s new EM2000 microprocessor, which boasted more memory, twice the processing speed, and improved locomotive self-diagnostic capabilities compared to the processor suite used in the SD60. Even more revolutionary was the inclusion of EMD’s patented “Radial” truck design, the HTC-R. This design, which made its debut under EMD Demo SD60 #3, replaced the venerable HT-C truck, and is unique in its ability to shift, or “steer”, the wheelsets laterally through curves, resulting in greatly reduced wheelset and track wear, and coupled with the new D70TR traction motors and EM2000 microprocessor, greatly improved adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing with previous practice, EMD built a set of Demonstrator SD70Ms, EMD 7000-7002, all equipped with the North American safety-cab (hence the “M” in their model designation), and decked out in an attractive gray, silver, and burgundy paint scheme. These units traveled all over North America, showing off the latest technology from EMD. Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad requested a 4300 horsepower version resulting in the SD75M. As production continued, EMD incorporated their new “Whisper Cab” design resulting in the SD75I.

Cabooses provided shelter for the rear end crew. From the cupola or bay windows, the crew could keep a lookout for shifting loads, damaged equipment, and overheating axles, this was long required for switching and shunting. As rail cars became larger in the late 1950s and early 1960s, there was a real need for cabooses to have greater visibility for the crew. In the extended-vision or wide-vision caboose, the sides of the cupola project beyond the side of the car body. This model was introduced by the International Car Company and saw service on most U.S. railroads. The expanded cupola allowed the crew to see past the top of the taller cars that began to appear after World War II, and increased the roominess of the cupola area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536631333143,"sku":"ATHG78595","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5923\/4839\/files\/ATHG78595_A00_A2A3Z0I0.jpg?v=1763341400"},{"product_id":"ho-gatc-2600-airslide-hopper-np-75864","title":"ATHG87488 Athearn HO GATC 2600 Airslide Hopper, NP #75864","description":"\u003ch3\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree different body styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed underbody including outlet piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRectangular or oval shaker brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGravity or gravity-pneumatic outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee through metal roof walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory installed wire grab irons and brake piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied round roof hatches and brake wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoller bearing or Bettendorf trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined metal wheels with RP25 contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighted for optimum performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed, injection molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first half of the 20th century, bulk goods were usually bagged and carried in boxcars. After the late 1940s, covered hoppers greatly simplified the process by allowing the bulk material to be poured in through the roof hatches and dumped out the hopper bays. However, flour, starch, sugar and plastics do not “flow” easily from a standard hopper bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo solve this problem, the Fuller Company of Catasauqua, PA, patented the Airslide concept. In an Airslide covered hopper, the bays are formed into two narrow, steep-sided troughs with a layer of air-permeable material at the bottom. Air is pumped through the material causing the lading to fluidize and flow easily through the hopper outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting in 1953, General American Transportation began building Airslide covered hoppers. One of the two original configurations was a 2,600-cubic foot, single-bay car with a 70-ton capacity. In addition to railroad-owned cars, there were several Airslide covered hoppers leased by GATC to sugar and bakery companies. Later, larger cars were introduced as the railroads continued to improve their infrastructure. To extend the useful lives of the smaller 2600 cuft cars, some of them were permanently connected in 2-unit drawbar sets.

The company didn’t enter the railroad freight car market until 1984, when Trinity acquired the railcar designs and production facilities of the Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Company, once the largest railcar manufacturer in North America. That same year Trinity also acquired the railcar designs of General American Transportation Corporation. In 1986 the rail car designs, and production facilities of Greenville Steel Car Company were purchased, including the auto rack designs of Portec-Paragon. Also acquired in 1986 were the railcar designs of North American Car Corporation, and in 1987 Ortner Freight Car was acquired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this collective experience across several facilities, Trinity developed many new designs that became ubiquitous to present day railroading. One of their most famous designs is the 3-bay 5161cuft covered hopper. This covered hopper is optimized to transport agricultural products, sugar, dry chemicals, or other similar products and can be seen in unit train assignments all over North America. Introduced around 1995, these cars are extremely common today and owned by many Class 1 and short line railroads alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536648700183,"sku":"ATHG97155","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5923\/4839\/files\/ATHG97155_A0_MYT94BOH.jpg?v=1763340974"},{"product_id":"ho-bethgon-coalporter-with-load-bnsf-1-5","title":"ATH81595 Athearn HO Bethgon Coalporter, BNSF","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHO Bethgon Coalporter with Load, BNSF #668001, #668016, #668039, #668057, #668078\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly Re-tooled Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate wire form grab irons, etched metal coupler platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied brake wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple road numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36” machined metal wheels with RP25 contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighted for optimum performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody-mounted McHenry® operating scale knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly-detailed, injection-molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted and printed for realistic decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 18”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coalporter was developed in an effort to create a higher-capacity, more efficient coal car.

The drawbar sets operated as a single car, and therefore had a whopping total capacity of 5,200 cuft- although their substantial length was a notable drawback.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athearn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51602078662935,"sku":"ATHG87468","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5923\/4839\/files\/ATHG87468_A0_OPR6A6WV.jpg?v=1763335654"},{"product_id":"athg75913-athearn-genesis-frisco-60-ps-auto-box-car-intermediate-9013","title":"ATHG75913 Athearn HO 60' PS Auto Box Car -  Frisco #9013","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHO 60' Pullman Standard Auto Box Car -  Frisco #9013\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMODEL FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately painted and printed for prototypical realism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly-detailed, injection-molded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully detailed full cushion underframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull underframe detail: air brake reservoir, control valve,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately applied door closure rods, side ladders, metal grab irons and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand brake cylinder with plumbing and brake rod details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eetched metal end platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100-Ton roller bearing trucks with operating bearing caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler lift bars, trainline hoses, brake hoses, and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighted for trouble free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple road numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius: 22”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1960’s, Ford Motor Company, Pullman Standard and Santa Fe pooled their resources to develop a standard boxcar to meet the transportation needs of automobile manufacturers in the United States.
